Am I right in thinking, only guys with time on the bus need apply?

VJW,
When the advert was posted last October, it was for A330/340 rated guys with over 1000 hours on type with considerations given for A320 guys with similar hours requirements. When the Boeing recruitment opened in december it was for B744 rated and over 1000 hours on type.
I would suggest that all will be revealed in the next advertisement. If it says only airbus rated then you are out of luck, however in the past it has been known to take non-rated airbus people. You will find out soon enough I would imagine.
Good luck

Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines Inc. are considering a joint bid for Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd., the airline controlled by billionaire Richard Branson, the Sunday Times reported, without saying where it got the information.
Air France and Delta Air Lines have appointed Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as their adviser, the newspaper said.

Does anyone actually have some concrete info as to whether VS will be 'recruiting again soon'?
Seems strange timing to me so soon after their last recruitment campaign closed, especially given that the lucky few from last time are apparently swimming in a hold pool rather than a pool in LA on line training...

Hold pool? Everyone I know has got start dates. Some joined in January and courses are running for new joiners up to end of June. This is for Airbus though. Don't know about the latest round of Boeing recruitment?
Rumour is this week it will open again, I guess you will find out soon enough. Keep your eyes on the careers website

As Busbar said, not sure where this hold pool stuff has come from?? Unless you have confused it with the latest Boeing recruitment? All guys/girls i know joining on the Airbus, all have start dates over the next few months! Good times

TB,
Good job! Can you give us a rough idea of your background - did you have 744 type/time? Did you have heavy Boeing or Airbus time (i.e., is Boeing time a requirement to get considered for a 744 slot)? Just trying to see what is required to be in the running (besides Space Shuttle time).
PM also welcome. Good luck with the rest of the process!
