Speaking to a friend earlier today,


He applied 2 weeks ago and got an email yesterday confirming he was in the holding pool

4500hrs A320 330

you lot are carrying on as though you haven't seen the thread going on parallel to this one.

Believe me if you have secure employment,don't leave it for this shambles until we have a sweep out of the office.

Farefield,

It looks like the other Virgin thread has dissappeared maybe Scroggs lost his nerve after posting about VAA Management.

Still if you need a job VAA are short today. Just had my Sunday morning text we're desperate for someone to fly the .............

The other thread has not disappeared; it's in R&N. I don't know why it's bounced between here and there.

Oxymoron,

something like "clever VAA manager" then.

Thanks Scroggs I've found it now Virgin Atlantic Massive Pilot Shortage

Still everything very quiet for me...anybody got a call after applying in march? I was expectig a fast feedback (positive or negative) as they claim to be so short of pilots these days...4000+ A330 A320
Cheers!

No news then??

No news from the March application....yet

Let's keep on waiting then... :rolleyes:

airbuddy,

if only me and you applied - that would be nice! :E

I'm still waiting as well ;) I thought the PFO got lost in the post!

I wouldn't worry, I applied in October and have still heard nothing!

One of my mates just had the e-mail this morning offering an assessment day in a few weeks. Thought people would be interested to know.

Good luck to the rest of you :ok:

Busbar, from March application?

Yes from March Application, Jinkster. He currently flies the 737 for a European Lo-co.

Why the h£ll would you want to join Virgin. EVERY pilot is totally pi$$ed off. BA are allegedly recruiting so try them first. You'll probably meet quite a few VS guys on your interview day and if you get the job then you'll be with VS guys too!

The grass might be greener but once you get there it might not taste as nice.

Of course there are worse places.

Just don't believe the hype, keep your fingers crossed whilst in the lowest 150 places on the redundancy, sorry I mean seniority list, and you'll be fine.

Develop a strategy for combating chronic fatigue and zombie state;

Oh, and be happy to be an FO for 15 or more years.

If you can do that and keep smiling, then this is THE best job around.

Good luck for the future to everyone.

Pilots are their own worst enemies. Which is why the industry is in the mess it is. But that's another topic.
