Yes they are hiring and no you don't need to be NG rated (remember they now also have E-jets now).
Try the search function for for info, lots has been posted over this year about them hiring.

Mate, are they hiring...... The sim centre in Brisbane has had a constant stream of interviewees. I've been there in the last week and they've been doing sim rides/ interviews until 8pm every day!

I have heard second or third hand that the majority of the interviewees have about 3,000 TT and about 1,000 turbine or in that ballpark.
I would be interested to hear of anyone with significantly less than that who has been given an interview.

Three mates of mine have made it into Virgin Blue in the past couple of months, and all had at least those hours.
DIVOSH!
Can anyone ( especially those who have just been thru it) please post here for everyone interested the recruitment process/steps that VB are currently using??
Eg- phone int , tech int, HR int, sim etc and What type of Q or anything specifically looked at or of most importance for selection.
Previous searches revealed multiple threads from years ago with no exact info let alone anything current for this year.
Last VB Recruitment thread was closed by the mods.
Apart from the website application pages is there a current email address for the HR/pilot recruitment dept that one can send a cover letter/resume to???
Many Thanks, PM me please if anyone has info but doesnt want to post.

Is recruitment primarily for the 737 or Ejet at the moment?
I've heard a number of 737 pilots who went on to the Ejet during the GFC are going back to the 737, so that would indicate new Ejet positions.
However there is a large order out there for 737's...

I have applied for a position for a long time. My experience 5500TT, 2100 jet, 2300 turbine, 1300 multi-cmd, 4900 multi and 4400 multi-crew.
Anyone else having an up coming interview? Those whom had one recently any tips and info?
Cheers,

Overall profit down to $10 million, but profit from short haul is at $100 million. With that in mind I would doubt any cancellations for NG's. A fair bit of consolidation internationally and one would hope that long haul turns around, regardless, I doubt they are going to turn tail and run.
