Out of interest has anyone heard anything back from Virgin yet, with reference to their application for the First officer holding pool recruitment with a closing date of 21st March?

Interview Day
As waddlers has stated, I also can't find any up to date information on the current interview/testing/sim ride process with Virgin.
Can anyone who has been through it recently shed any light on the process?
Many thanks

I put an application in back in October...
Still haven't heard anything.
How is it that BA can get 1600 applications in 5 days and still manage to send a response to everyone, even if it's a no, within 2 weeks?

allegedly 14 pilots have just resigned off the 400 (almost certainly to go to BA), so there may be movement soon.
Way off the mark, much less from what I know

where is your evidence? scaremongering for the sake of it shows a malevolent streak that we could do without. I have very little evidence, at the moment, of other than usual departures from the ranks.
If anything with new routes this year recruitment (and commands) will increase.

Yeehaa!!!!
A couple of Command positions will bring the approximate waiting time down from about 18 years for current joiners, to about 17 years, 11 months and 3 weeks.
Whatever the accurate figures (never known), it is a loooong time.

It will only get worse if the bmi deal goes through without a significant slot surrender to Virgin. I can see them stagnating out of Heathrow. Perhaps they'll look more to the regions for expansion purposes in the future & subsequently command time could come down.
