Virgin Boi 26th Sep 2006 17:28

2 D Moon,

Thats weird, my rosta when it was published this month on the internet said I had a dead head to JFK and work home the following day, then when my paper roster came through the post a few days later it had me doing an Orlando on those same days.

A quick call to crewing, and you can imagine which one was correct..... lucky me.... another MCO.

Applying at 33 yrs of age
 
Hi Everyone,

I am awaiting the application form right now but would like some advice.

Do I realistically stand a chance being 33 years old with children?
This is something I have always to do . Long story but I am now applying but would like any advice good or bad.

Does anyone know any older applicants who were successful?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi

Don't suppose any VS crew could help me with a couple of questions please?

Just wondering what the VS layovers are like now, have they made them shorter i.e min rest? And also whats the hotel accom. like when you get down route, do they stick you out in the middle of nowhere in some motel, or nice hotels in the cities etc?

Thanks guys

Hi richxby,

We dont have any minimum layovers with Virgin, the shortest layover is 24hours....East coast U.S.A, India, Dubai, Barbados and som other Carribbean destinations, anything Far east is at least 2nights as is West Coast U.S.A. Johannesburg is 36hours however Cape Town is nrmally longer as we dont always operate a Daily flight. Long trips or us at the moment are 5nights in Montego Bay, 4 night Antigua`s, from next yr 5night Mauritius etc.

As far as the hotels go I think we are very lucky, most of our hotels are right in the heart of the cities we serve, San Fran,Hong Kong, Cape Town, Sydney, Shanghai, Boston, Washington, Some New Yorks (4 out of 6). The hotels are normally always of a good standard. Ritz Carlton, Hyatt, Raddisson Plaza, Marriott etc.

Hope that answers a few questions for you, anymore then just ask. Cheers :8

virgin atlantic interview
 
i have just had a thought, i have heard that you have a group interview in the morning, then if you pass that then you have a 3 on 1 interview in the afternoon after you have taken the exams. i have then heard that this is the only day you interview and they decide from there. is this true?

The process has changed - everyone does the 2:1 interview providing they pass the English and Maths tests.. it used to be that people got sent home at lunchtime but they're doing it differently now!.. Suppose it makes everyone a bit more relaxed.. then after the 2:1 interview, thats it!.. they let you know from there..! Good luck guys!..

ok thanks for letting me no, im so desperate to get the job. this sounds weird but do you think it is possible to no too much about the company as this could seem a little cocky? also im a very bulshy/outgoing person. is this good or bad?

Interview for the 10th of October
 
I was thinking, if there is anyone else out there that has the Virgin Atlantic interview on this date then message me and ill give you my mobile number so that we can meet up just before hand. Seems a good idea as im sure we will all end up training together if we get it.

2bcrew 10th Oct 2006 09:29

I think it all helps tonix, especially having a good knowledge of the Virgin brand and the airline especially - good luck today! let us know how it goes.. I've got mine tomorrow!.. eeek!!.. gonna be the second interview I've had - so hoping it all goes well. :D

do you mean this is the second interview with virgin? if so what went wrong last time?

2bcrew 10th Oct 2006 18:09

Yeah, it will be my 2nd interview - theres a lot of people who I know who haven't gotten in first time, but did get through to the 2:1 - I think my nerves got the better of me and I babbled in the 2:1 interview, its very easy to do especially as it was my first ever Airline interview so it was so nervewracking!

But, I think the best thing is to just relax and answer the questions from your own experience and give examples wherever you can - they want to know that you have had experience in the situations that could arise inflight, etc... aaaggghh!!! 14 hours to go!!...:} :}
