V Australia HR Shame..
It seems V Aus HR are on the bongs!! I was recently offered an interview with V Aus which would have required me to disappear from work in under 24 hours as they had a cancellation. They did advise that I should let them know asap which I indicated I would. Then less than 2 hours later they say that the spot has been filled.
"We have had an interview slot open up on x day at x time, if you can attend. Can you please respond to this email ASAP as we have limited spots available.
Regards
Flight Crew Recruitment
V Australia"
Is there anything in this email to suggest that it is an auction styled offer???
Can anyone tell me how a working pilot is meant to have annual leave commencing in under 24 hours approved in under 120 minutes????
A mate of mine was also given a confirmed interview and had it changed three times, such that the third offer preceded his flight arrival time... flights forfeitted!! and now he looks like a knob because he has been jerking his manager around with seemingly sporadic annual leave requests.
Are Voz looking for unemployed bums living in Brisbane hanging off their email because it seems that they believe you shouldn't let your current employment get in the way of this honour bestowed upon you!!!

Why don't you save yourself some time as it looks like your attitude is so poor the last thing any airline should do is bother interviewing or employing you.
An Airline is a dynamic environment and your interview is a long way down the list of most Chief Pilots must do's.

As someone who has conducted airline interviews in the past, I would expect a prospective employee to treat his current employer how we would expect to be treated. In my opinion “V Aus” are out of line. As a lot of HR departments these days are run by Gen “Y’s” this doesn’t surprise me one little bit.

Its Vaus man. You get what you paid for. Or rather what you dont get paid for (ie alot).
If they jerk you round like that at the interview stage, what do you think they'll be like when you work there.

I know someone who has been dikked around by Voz Flight Recruitment b4. Nothing new. They obviously couldnt care less who filled the position, as long as someone does. They think most guys would drop everything and anything to attend one of their interviews. Sorry guys your airline aint that f*kn great.

How does not being able to organise leave leave in a couple of hours equate to such a poor attitude?? Would you advise a pilot to simply walk out on his/her current employer for an interview?
Pull you head out of the sand coaldemon!

Coaldemon, I have read some stupid posts over the years, and yours is right up there. Aviation operations are dynamic. HR is in an office. If the CP is called out there will be someone else able to be called in to fill the interview seat. If there is a cancellation by all means offer an opportunity at short notice to candidates on the chance they may be 'on the spot'. For scheduled interviews, keep with the program. Large operators with dedicated HR have no excuses jerking applicants around, and if they do they have lost their integrity from the beginning and should be avoided if possible.
Furthermore, you seem to be pushing the bar lower in your post, would it hurt to set your expectations higher?

Great if you live in Brisvegas working at Woolies/McDonalds/KFC and get drop a shift , you can get there asap, bit different if you live in say Karratha or Derby and the boss has you out on a charter for a few days!
Agree with 1124 and Titan.

Not sure what you are complaining about.
You really should be able to show your 'flair' and jump through all hoops if you expect to get into 'V'.
We dont have a sim ride to cull applicants, so the flexibility of your spine is our best guage.
Consider yourself lucky to have even been called.
Once you have been 'assessed as suitable' by recruitment you at least know what to expect when you join.
Keep up the back bending and reap the benefits of nepotism...... I mean 'merit'.

Wish I'd been the genius who came up with the HR department! Talk about creating a non-existant/irrelevant job.......now if only I can think of the next must have non-essential department

I agree. Despite your whinging, would you turn down another interview offer after such horrible mistreatment.
Also, I'd be careful what you put on here, you never know who's reading - wouldn't be hard for them to work out who you are.
Best of luck to you.

VOz HR Sheik,In answer -
I have lots of flair, happy to dance a jig, laugh and dance and work for minimun salary just for the chance to be part of Bransons's worldwide campaign against unfair duopoly's ! That's me.
No SIM Ride, no problem. Can't remember the last time I used one anyway. Is it a 'must have' ? I do have flair instead, does that count ?
Oh yes I do know what to expect. And I cant wait to start my tenure, flying for peanuts to support a crusade against unfair competition, where staff come first and profits last ! Count me in.
Nepotism ? Surely not at VOZ ??
I agree. I am sure I have the 'must haves' to join, and I can't wait !
