Hey toni!!!, it's J (-: , i used to worry about hair colour too, i was even tempted to die my hair blonde! But wont again, as my hair used to be alot thicker, i dyed it blonde b4. I am glad virgin have changed and are more fairer now. I heard b4, as i knew someone who went for the interview, when she got to the 2-2-1, they did not even give her a chance to speak and told her she hadn't got it. Luv ya

Hi airhostessdream
I applied and my application wasn't even successful (don't know why
) so I've sent off for another to reapply. I guess if you get to interview and they tell you that then same applies to me. I had a look over my old app. and guess I could of gone into more detail about experience so I'll do that this time as soon as it arrives and hope to be flying with you soon.

Pay
Can anyone working for VS let me know an approximately monthly pay?
I know you get basic, trip pay and allowances but how much will I be taking home?
Also, are allowances (given at hotel downroute) taxed?
Cheers

Lol i have worked for Virgin for what seems like an age (and is!) and i can tell you now that they don't give a toss about what colour your hair is, or what ethniticity you are.
I'm brunette and have never heard such rubbish about VS only hiring blondes - Yes maybe Richard prefers the fair hair girls but then again, so do a lot of men.
If you are genuinely worried about Virgin not hiring you because of your hair colour/skin colour/inside leg measurement then maybe you don't understand what the company is about and it's not for you.

Hi, A quick question from Air Traffic
I'm down to fly on a fam flight shortly with Virgin (anywhere except the US) and was wondering where the best place for night stops are likely to be as I go out with the crew and back with the same one.
I was thinking about Havana or Capetown, do you get a couple of nights there? Any other suggestions to maximise my time away from work? Shallow and idle aren't I
Cheers

In-flight beauty therapist
Can anyone help me on the following?
I applied for a position as In-flight Beauty Therapist about 5 years ago and completed the full day of interview but did not get offered the job. I have now been in the beauty industry for a decade and am 27 years old and married-would this affect how they would view me as a candidate?
Also I have a mortgage! Boo hoo! So I must be earning a good salary! What is the final take home pay and perks for this position as this will affect whether I apply again!

A new virgin girly!!
Just thought I would let you know I got the job 
with virgin start my training in january soo excited! thanks for everyone's help it really gave me an insight on the day.
Some advice if anyone has an interveiw soon, just be your self, relax, smile and have fun. P.S dont worry about the test's, I did well at the english but struggled with the maths's and diddn't do that well but I still got the job. Also if anyone is dyslexic like me dont be afraid to tell them, they dont look on it as a disadvantage.
Good luck and thank you again

That's fantastic news C H. I've been following your posts and i'm really glad you got the job. It's gratifying to know that we don't work for a company backward enough to reject someone for something as minor as being dyslexic.
I really stuffed up one of our selection tests when i joined but it didn't seem to matter. Must've been my winning smile and shiny shoes!
