Exhibit lots of flair and be prepared to sell your soul to the Devil. The job will be yours !

[Oakape]

That's interesting - I was told there was a hiring freeze for the Virgin Group at the moment.

Almost inevitable I'd say Roxy'.

But if an individual has to ask on Pprune what to expect in an interview for an International Widebodied "Pilot" position, it probably says volumes about said individuals experience in the industry.

Just the sort of person VA require for their CFO positions!

[Captain Dart]

MD, a convincing demonstration, with 'flair', that you are willing to fly for food is all they will require. Then before you know it, you will be another starter in the 'race to the bottom', but then, look at you! You're in a BIG SHINY JET!

[MD_Attitude]

I guess Krusty Man you never did your home work before you went flying.Its all about Pre planning mate.I am guessing you missed the class where they taught you that .I put the blog up so that I could get some feedback from other V OZ pilots who has already been there and would like to give some feedback as how one should approach the Interview session and what to expect.I was just getting few info out of this and I think PPRUNE does good at it (well exceptions are always there !!!)

[MD_Attitude]

Thanks Capt Dart.I have been in aviation for a while and I believe that "can do " attitude goes a long way.Please feel free to PM me should you have any more info regading the above cause

[Captain Dart]

I've been in aviation a long time too, sonny, and for the last two decades I have had my conditions dragged down by persons lining up to join the airlines I have flown for on inferior terms of employment to mine.

You won't get any PMs from me.

Hook, Line And Sinker

A wind up to be proud of MD. Complete with spelling mistakes.

Love your work

[B043]

Dart,

You got done!.....Hahaha

Try relaxing and staying positive

[KRUSTY 34]

At least for the sake of our profession, we all hope it's a wind-up!!!

[The Green Goblin]

I think I know who it is, and I can assure you it's not a windup

[das Uber Soldat]

I was just getting few info out of this and I think PPRUNE does good at it

I think he'll fit right in.

YOU ARE A DISGRACE!

I dunno, about half of the initial intake are all now in the RHS of an Embraer or a 737. They're doing alright.

They got lucky after signing up for the original deal with VOZ - and good on them it's worked out well for them. They're pretty smug about it now, but I guess this wouldn't be the case if they were still sitting "in the back" with no progression within VOZ in sight.

I believe "possible" progression across to VB is now written in the adverts for VOZ CRFO's, where it wasn't initially. Should tempt a few more to apply for it I guess.

There will always be a willing supply of pilots to do it, as one dimwit at work professed the other day he would go and fly a jet for the same as his turboprop FO wage. When queried he stated (Quote) "Why not? It's the same money I am on now, but I'll be in a jet".

Thats what we're up against, with things like this and the Jetstar situation.

[GADRIVR]

So whats the alternative kiddies ?.......stay on his SFA paying job, eating less baked beans, trying to raise a family....the questions go on.
Fact is, with a general attitude like whats being directed to our alphabetically challenged friend, little wonder the bosses are laughing.
Here's a thought. Join an airline, accept the present conditions...then change aforesaid conditions with the help of your "fellow professional aviators" and thier various unions.
How about that boys and girls!
Geez

That just sounds like too much common sense for Pprune!
