Stjuk, have you received in interview date then?
I know many people that have applied and as far as I am aware none of them has received a response from Virgin yet.
However, they are all Airbus rated and I see that you are Boeing rated so maybe they are after Boeing guys.

I understand that several people from the last recruitment drive, who were deemed suitable but not offered an interview, have been contacted and interviewed. My guess is that Virgin will work through those applicants before moving on to the current batch.
Best of luck to all.

Hi
Just wondering, to all those that have an interview invite (btw...nice work), have any of you got just A320 time or have you got 'Wide-body' experience? Also, did many of you upload a covering letter?
Thanks

PFO (again).
6200TT, 3000 P1 (737/757 mix), LTC.
Given the interview slots appear to be decided on only qualifications (e.g. no BA style questions), seriously, what do you have to do to get an interview?!
Crazy...

Me too...PFO again!
4200 TT mostly 737
1000 PIC 737
Still, a Virgin FO once told me they say, join Virgin....gain a stone, lose a home. Maybe I'm better off...can't afford to do either!
Safe flying!

Not trying to be disrespectful. Just throwing some questions out to those who are interested in VS. Can someone help me understand what is the big attraction to Virgin? Why would someone leave a command at Ryan or Easy to sit as an FO at Virgin for 15 years at lower pay? If you get the 747, you have very limited routes (Caribbean and Orlando in the summer is bloody hot). I guess you have newer 787s coming in a few years and the FAs are very attractive - those are some positives. If you can't stand the Ryan and Easy schedules, I guess VS would be an improvement.
Just trying to under the rationale considering the very long upgrade time. Any thoughts?
Happy holidays!

6000 TT, 2800 737, PFO. No idea what they are looking for, but whatever it was I didn't have it.
Attraction of VS: I don't have a job at the moment.

Bit different when you don't currently have a job though...
