Virgin Blue hiring

[The Green Goblin]

Plenty did back when Qantas were handing out yes letters and open ended start dates.

Many got caught short circa 2008 when those start dates were canned.

No I don't work for DJ. I know how this game works pretty well though.

Hi dux,
How long were you on hold for

[zendo]

This is going to be one patient road.........

[Altimeters]

Well I'm happy to say boys and girls that I've just received that long awaited call! B777 on the 18th March! Good luck everyone!

[HappyBandit]

Altimeters

Well done buddy!!! When was your interview by the way??

[Altimeters]

Cheers mate! Was the end of March. So one year from the interview. Hopefully you get a call soon mate!

[atlas12]

Congrats altimeters that is fantastic news
I assume you took up the 777 hold offer late last yr?

[Altimeters]

Thanks Atlas! Yep that's correct!

[HappyBandit]

Rumour has some 737 courses starting....are these being filled maunly internally does anyone know?

[mates rates]

B737 courses are being planned for mid year.I think they will be for EJet pilots transferring to the 737 as they are currently employing EJet pilots to replace them.

[Berner]

Anyone getting a call up for ejet at the moment? I'm waiting for domestic and starting to despair. So much interviewing and so little hiring

[Stiff Under Carriage]

Next course starts 4th Mar. Guys on it already notified. No idea when next one is for externals.

[HappyBandit]

Are they interviewing again??? Id imagine they should have more than enough on the hold pile to meet recruitment for the remaining 12 months.

[Berner]

Not that I know of, I was referring to the mad rush to interview everyone a year ago

[HappyBandit]

Berner ahhh right got you....yeah bit odd isnt it. Anyone know how many courses are running this year?

[atlas12]

Well if the next course is Mar 4 then hopefully there will be another one shortly after. If so the call shouldn't be too far away

[Altimeters]

I know of people for ejet already notified for an April start. I think it's the 15th? Good Luck boys and girls!

[FlyingJ2K]

Ladies and gentleman,

777 calls are going out for May start dates.

Good luck!!

[Falling Leaf]

Anyone know how long the tripler is going to around at Virgin; understand they do not form part of JB's ten year vision.

Are they leased or owned outright? If leased, when to?

[HappyBandit]

Is there any harm in contacting HR to find out status or will that just p*** them off!?
