ATTN: Virgin Australia pilots
Hi crew.
On behalf of many of my peers, any guess on when Virgin Australia will be hiring?
Also, I hear the transfer of the B773 to the Virgin Australia AOC is imminent? Any word/timeline on this?
Thank you.

We are hiring. Mostly 737 FOs.
If the 777 were to be added to the "Virgin Blue" (hasn't changed name to my knowledge) AOC, what possible difference would that make?

V Australia is only changing its name to Virgin Australia in line with the rebranding. Feb I think from memory. For the time being anyway they will remain separate as far as operation, chief pilot etc.
No changes apart from the name and paint job.

Mmmm I think you didn't hear this and you maybe made this up however for the record....
- v Australia 777 will not be changing AOC. This has been said specifically,
- All three groups will run separately and on separate Pay/agreements. (only the paint will be the same - think jet connect, national jet)
- Intergration in terms of movement will only happen if agreeded to buy the VIrgin australia pilots. That will be separate to the EBA.
- Have been hiring for quite a while.

As others have said recruitment seems to be ongoing. Very nice (and welcome)correspondence recieved from VA today. Phone interview upcoming. Fingers toes and everything else crossed the nice lady indicated that if succesful would be looking at new year courses for 737 FO's and CRFO on the 77 in the new year.

Looks like there are a few of us here taking the leap from Qantas.
Am I the only one that had a phone interview? I'm getting a bit paranoid.
I applied for the Cruise Fo so maybe (hopefully) they are doing the 737 first.
Good luck to everyone
