could it be the HR/recruiting dept are struggling or understaffed to keep pace with the current recruitment drive. I'm just on 7 weeks since interview - it's a bit stressful remaining in limbo, and I won't stop pacing until I've signed something....Hurry up and wait! At least we have the warm fuzzy feeling of being in the same boat:ugh:

as for tips on the interview, what has been said in posts dating back last year still hold true, no new surprises, all quite relaxed and friendly process:ok:

In this environment they should really get the offers out ASAP!!!!!!
I have heard of 3 people taking other positions since their interviews simply because they had no official offer:=

vb
 

has anyone called them? the email said if we had any questions...

Yep Called on the 3rd of March........said they had not worked it all out yet.
If more people call we may get an answer sooner!!!!!!!!

...I rang 29 Feb, ditto tipan

I will stop pacing now - I got a call today from recruiting, my endorsement is pencilled in for late April (737) official offer to be posted shortly:ok: I presume other phone calls are imminent...has anyone else heard? Good luck, hope to see you at the sim!

Yeah got the call.....737 so no more ground schools for this man!!!!!
No Base yet

Poledriver and Tinpan13

Do you mind if I ask your GA backgrounds and TT's inc. multi command ??? Just trying to firure out what they realistically want..........

Cheers guys....:)

Mr Cat :

3100 TT
GA Background
1800 Multi Pic
1200 turbine
600 Jet

But I would not worry to much I have friends that have got in with 1800 tt 100 turbine
Good luck

Mr Cat - 6900TT, 4000 turboP mostly single pilot, nil jet, all GA! I know of guys getting in with little over min. reqt's, to 10,000hr+....I think it is irrelevant almost these days so long as you meet min reqt's.:ok:

Cheers leffe, I would be on the blower if I was you! They also said my start date is Jun/Jul. Are you already 737 end?

Tipan - congrats, no more 'embraer nightmares' for you!:E

Hi guys, just wondering........ which cities does Virgin have pilot bases?

Cheers

i believe its Sydney, Mebourne and Brissy... not sure about embraer? anyone wish to confirm??

Dj has 3 bases. BN-SY-ML. All are 737 and Ejet bases. If you want a quick command and you have a choice, go for the SY base. No one wants to move there.

Give it a couple of years. He'll be as tired and cynical as the rest of us! :}

Only if you let yourself Capt. F..... I've seen the worst and best in the last 25 years and I still love my job.

...And even if/when the cynicism does set in, well I'd rather be a cynical old fart flying decent equipment than a cynical old fart flying clapped-out bugsmashers.
