Virgin Blue hiring

[Open Descent]

[QUOTE]The September E-Jet course was populated from a hold file created in Feb last year. Dec 737 course was filled with internal candidates from E-Jet and 777./QUOTE]

That is incorrect.

The Dec 737 course had 4 internal 777 Crz F/O transfers and 4 direct entry guys (I was one of them!)

Received the sim brief today but it makes no mention of a specific time anywhere?? So I guess the idea is to simply show up at the original "booking" time, which altogether is about 6 hours long.....

Also the sim brief mentions the testing of abilities required to be a Virgin "first officer", but it looks like a generic document to me. Still no real mention of what position the interview is for!

[boeingwest]

Just PM'd a few guys, cheers in advance. So what type of experience are VA interviewing for? Do the ones of late have >5700KG command? What kind of total time? Cheers and best of luck

[beaver_rotate]

Virgin advertising on AFAP?? I have NEVER seen this... here's hoping!

[ozblackbox]

I think it's a case of populating the new recruiting system - remember they changed over from staffcv to their own system.

See what happens..... only time will tell.

[Pekin Dog]

Like boeingwest i too wouldn't mind knowing those who have interviews what type of experience the guys getting interviews have? More so how much turbine if any?

Best of luck to those with interviews.

Regards,

[Altimeters]

Anyone have any info on the new interview questions?? If you could PM me that'd be good.

P.S those guys/girls wanting to know hours for interviews I have around 4500TT with 2500 >5700kg and 1000 PIC >5700kg. Thats multi crew turbine. Good luck!

[Captain Biggles84]

Interesting Altimeter. I have always thought that about 1000hrs mulit-crew or even better 1000hrs multi-crew Command should get you a look in with right combination of age and and career development on the resume.. Would you agree of have you been trying in vain for a while??

[Altimeters]

Well put it this way Biggles I've had an application in since 2008.

[chickoroll]

Well I have 2600TT zero multi-crew and have an interview on Tuesday.

[beaver_rotate]

V=Chiko roll:

Best of luck mate!

How long ago did they get in touch? Email??

You'd have to have turboprop command yeah?? PM if you like

Some mates telling me next GS is for 737 PER!!

[Roger Greendeck]

Chiko,

How long had you had an app in for?

[chickoroll]

Contacted by e-mail on Monday, yes I do have turbo prop time and app in since 2009 just kept on up dating it ever since.

[beaver_rotate]

Ok cool, so you have only ever applied through Staff CV Chiko? or did you place one in also when Flight Crew jobs was launched early Jan? Sorry about the 40,000 q's, I guess you ought to be studying instead! Best of luck

[chickoroll]

No I lodged my application on the new system 9th January. I have been told off a mate they interview you they will decide for you where you will be best suited 737, 777 or the 190

[Falling Leaf]

I guess that would be 777 SO (CFO)?

[Dragun]

737/E190 are pretty much one and same for deciding which type you'll go on. The only thing that will decide it are commercial requirements at the time. Same for the base.

[strim]

I've heard rumors of an Adelaide base.

Any truth in this?

3000TT with 2000 multi crew >5700 here. Had my application in since 2009 but put my application in the new system as soon as I got the e-mail.

Not sure how I feel about the 777, but beggars can't be choosers as they say

Don't feel bad, there are people i know on the 777 that were hired on matching those times, I guess it's just the luck of the draw depending on needs at the time. I think at one stage the 777 was meant to be the gateway aircraft into the company but seems that's changed?
