I only received it once. Perhaps you should make sure they actually received your videos? I got an email back from flipbase saying my videos were successfully sent to virgin just after I submitted them.

Yeah not a bad idea CM. I've sent them twice and received the flip base notification twice. If I get it a fourth time ill send them an email. Now hurry up and wait I guess.

The website says we'll know if we made the cut for an assessment day 4 to 6 weeks after the closing date. So I would think sometime between the 2nd of July and the 14th of July.

Well,
Got the rejection email today. 2nd year in a row I have been unsuccessful. Last year I didn't even get to video stage. This year I did. Maybe next year I'll get to group assessments. So disappointing but I keep trying & I keep flying. I just hope that one day a window will open if not a door.
It hurts so much when you put your heart and soul into something, and deep down you know you have what it takes to be a good pilot. I tried to communicate this through my application, resume and video but they seemed to be looking for something else too. I would be grateful if anyone here could provide some feedback or advice on how I can better myself to become the candidate that airline HR are looking for. Good luck to everyone else.

I have gotten the rejection email twice now in two days. Feels like its just being rubbed in with another kick in the guts, although I'm sure its not intentional. Rather disappointing result but I will keep applying until someone makes me stop.
Well this supposed quota that some people are talking about didn't work for me, so chin up. There were just better candidates that more accurately articulated why they were the best picks.

All I can do is fly to the best of my ability every time and incrementally get better. Eventually, I will have the practical skills, knowledge and capability to be a commercial pilot. whether that translates into a paid job is, in some respects, out of my control. I just need to focus on the bit that I can control and attempt to make it as attractive to employers as possible. Again, the frustration is that it is never entirely clear what those employers are looking for however the enjoyment of flying is enough for me to keep doing it. Good luck all.
I have it on good advice that Virgin will be consolidating it's operations to shore up its bottom line. It has fingers in too many pies.
It's going to be focusing on things that make money and not wasting any more time on new ventures or things that aren't core business.
A number or middle management will go too.
He will hang on to the very end.
