Hey guys i had my interview on monday and i still haven't heard anything.
One of the others in my group got the big white envelope on wednesday with the job offer. Am seriously thinking i haven't got it now as i would have received that big enevlope by now! As most people at the moment hear within 2 or 3 days

Thanks for the parking info. I think I'll drive sounds easier and train costs more. Good Luck with getting results

Hi --- are Virgin still taking applications or have they closed them for now? Sounds like they just schedule interviews way in advance?

Thanks,

just wondering - does anyone know if the exchange with Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Blue in Australia can turn into a permanent? Or is it strict on 1 year only?

Thanks

KMP When I did the exchange (I went from VB across to VAA for a year) our contracts stated specifically that we could not take up a position with VAA for 12 months after the end of our exchange contract... not sure what the contracts for the VAA guys coming out to us at VB state - although I would imagine it would be similar.

Talking January 2nd

Hi Tonix2003,

Thankyou so much for your reply, I'm really looking forward to meeting you
& your friend Penny. I bet you are so so excited!!!! Are you all prepared??
Do you live close to Gatwick or are you staying near to The Base for the duration of your training??

Hopefully meet you soon,

Thanks Again,

David

sorry

sorry to crash the forum, trainee pilot heading to MCO alone from Gatwick on Thursday 7th Dec, Isit worth getting there a little early and sweetly asking to sit up front with those of a more desirable class?

Thankyou guys and gals

Also looking for accomodation whilst training.....

Hi all... I begin my training on 2nd jan...... was going to continue to commute from Covent garden but am beginning to think the commute would be crazy, given the intensive (and exhaustive) nature of the training... not to mention the early mornings !!! Can anyone suggest the best place to stay for easy access to the training Base....... Crawley? Horsham ? I have no idea.....
or.... even better..... anyone know of any specific, not TOO expensive accom in the area? Anyone else beginning on 2nd jan in the same position?

Any help/info will be MUCH appreciated..... [email protected]

cheers........ alan

Hi.Congratulations on getting the job Best places to stay for your training are Crawley and Horley.The training centre is in Crawley and Horley isnt far away at all! There are plenty of b&b's in the area.Dont know of any off the top of my head but i dont imagine it will be that difficult to find one,seen as there are so many.Good luck
