I finished my training a few weeks for VA and have done my first few flights and loving it! for those that have just started, staying in crawley is recommened as the training courseis very intense and there is loads to do, but its all worth it!! If any of you are struggling to find accomondation, when you go for your uniform fitting theres a notice board full of places to stay and people with rooms to let. Good luck and well done getting into virgin

the salary starts at £10,185 and then you get flight allowance etc on top of that. you cant send them your cv, you will have to call them again and order another application form. as far as i can make out they are very short staffed so you need to keep contacting them.

Advice needed
Hi All, have learned loads from reading your previous conversations, thanks. I would realy appreciate your thoughts on this - I was offered a job as cabin crew with VA last year but sadly had to turn it down as my circumstances changed. I have thought about it ever since and may try again but have a few niggling questions. I have recently got married and wondered if many cabin crew have husbands/wifes and how the travelling & time away from home affects your relationships. Does your partner often have the opportunity to travel with you?
Also, I am in a very well paid but very dull job at the moment. I am prepared to adjust to a new salary but is it very difficult salary wise when you don't get many flights? How many flights would you do a month for example? Can anyone tell me what the monthly average pay is?
Thanks for your help - I need to make a decision soon!

Well the basic pay for virgin is £10185 which goes up to £11530 after one year. You do a maximum of 6 flights per month (there and back = 1).
On top of your basic pay you earn sector pay for each sector you do which i think is around £18.00 each way. Then you get allowances whilst downroute at you destination which is paid to you cash in hand in local currency while you are there. We were told allowances amount to around £6000 per year.
Hope that helps!
