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:D

cabin crew for virgin atlantic
 

Hi there,
i tried to call the number to get the application form. But they never sent it to me. Where i can send my cv and how much is more or less the salary at the beginning and how does the selection work?
Hope some one can help me

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.

thanx
 

Thank you,
i'll try again and just some other questions: do you know what they ask during the interview? it would be a dream of mine to enter in Virgin.

thanx

Congratulations on getting into Virgin :D
When did you have your Interview?

Does anyone know how much the average estimated take home pay would be including allowences and sector pay etc? (Just an average) It's been quoted before I know, but I just spoke to someone working there and they said a figure a lot less than what I thought plus they said BA pays 18K basic ?? That's not correct is it? I can't believe VS pay THAT MUCH less than BA?:confused:

Any info would be great!

Thanks again!

oh hello denzil, do you come here often? lol

Can anyone tell me when virgin carry out reference checks do they write or call the four people that you put down as character references? Also do they call or write to your employer for your 5 yr history?

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? :confused: 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!:ok:
