SOPS

If anyone is intersted EK wants about 900 (not a typo) F/Os on the 777 next year.....

Any idea of how many more will be needed after this week's order??

Virgin has gone and gotten rid of StaffCV. There new online recruitment system doesn't have the ability to apply for FIRST OFFICER positions directly other than filling out an obscure EOI.

What's the go??

[DUXNUTZ]

I thought with the V Australia EBA the starting point is 777 S/O and then move to 737/E-jet.

I hear both have been hiring lately so dunno.

[Eutychia]

So with the change in the online application process, does that mean all of the updates we have done so far are no longer be applicable? If that is the case, will they be able to tell if someone applied today or a year ago? And if we apply for expressions of interest, we could be called up for any position? It would seem likely that if you said 'no' for Pacific Blue, they would not then consider you for Virgin Australia.

If you have an application in process this application will remain valid and there is no need to reapply on the new careers page.

For all future applications you will be required to create a new profile on our careers page (http://careers.pageuppeople.com/549/cw/en/listing/).

Anthill, so what does an 'application in process' mean exactly? That virgin has called to begin the recruitment process? Or just that you had an application in the system.
If you 'had' an app in on bfound, have they brought your details across? Some are getting emails saying to reapply on the new system, but others are not??

how the hell do you end up with 2700 hrs and 500 737 in this country? I have 3000 hrs and still stuck on a piece of junk dash 8 but hey i have it better than many others i know!

anyway enough of my problems...... I see no CFO listings on the recruitment page. I assume its an EOI they want then?

[Poita]

Do anyone know if they are hiring FO onto the 777?

[chickoroll]

Are you able to transfer from PAC Blue to Virgin easily?? Or if you take a job with PAC Blue you are stuck and have to wait to go threw the normal process?
