It was alright! There's a total of 120 people invited to assessment days, so anyone who got invited to one should be proud of themselves. They've narrowed it down from 4000 applicants already.

Congrats! Got to ask - was there anything you found particularly difficult?

Did they indicate how many candidates they were selecting?

Hi girlsflytoo, congratulations on making it so far. Was it as scary or as hard as you thought it was going to be? What impressed you the most about Virgin Australia?
All communication that I have had with VA and the flight school has been outstanding. They were all super friendly, honest and encouraging. I have been living in Germany for nearly 27 years so trust me you learn to appreciate the difference in cultures and really really appreciate the Australian friendliness and amazingly good manners. If I would be young again like my son I would also enjoy the opportunity to work for such a company.

Good God wait till you start.

I wonder how long the whole process will take :

A word of warning to the Wannabes:

The major Australian airlines may not appreciate their recruitment and assessment policies, dates etc discussed on a professional pilot bulletin board. Some of those airline pilots carrying out applicant assessments also post on PPRuNe.

I recommend you cease the personal discussion including posting interview and assessment dates, lest you are identified resulting in the possibility of being "overlooked" for employment?

Also PPRuNe is a bulletin of matters of general interest, not an aviation Facebook for personal chats.

Thanks

Anyone know when VA likes to advertise their cadet program? Also would anyone like to share their past experiences or things they have heard about it?
Thanks.

Anyone know when VA advertises their cadetship and any information about it with relation to success rate and if it is a good option to apply for?
Thanks.
