It’s on a 737 fixed base sim. All the other details have been given accurately further up in the thread.

hi I see the bit about what will happen in the sim but they also mentioned about group exercises and interview so was wondering what people had been asked recently

Welcome to the world where people are (hopefully) not restricted to antiquated gender norms or stereotypes and do not have to kowtow to narrow minded dinosaurs, in or out of the flight deck.

I second this, not a Virgin employee anymore but I’m glad some of these “The Sun/Dailymail” avid readers, owners of the “truth”, self righteous, unpleasant, backwards and ultracrepidarian sky-Gods are leaving.

I don’t get why these little men care so much as it doesn’t directly affect them. Why do you care if male crew wear make up? What’s the point of coming here and make such comments? 737 jockey, A320_LGW etc a few who did that, I bet you were the guys your colleagues swapped trips, and the crew avoided meeting down-route because you were insufferable.I looked through recent posts you guys made and there’s quite a few rejections from the job search, wonder why…

Let it go, you’re a bigot, fine, we get it. Let’s steer the conversation to something constructive as we want to hear information about the airline and the process. Don’t like the airline? Move on then.

Will they ask technical questions in the final stage interview and would they be more likely to be about my current type or the 787?

For anyone that’s done the Cut e test …. Any idea which tests come up when you log on to the link?

CaptainCroft 12th February 2023 17:56

Would anyone share some feedback on the Cut e test and what tests will come up with the link?

After a bit of thinking and having passed the assessment, I chose not to go forward and withdrew my application. Various reasons but sitting down writing out the numbers and going through a list of pros/cons, best to start the command process at Voldemort airlines. Who knows if I’ve made the right decision. Would be nice to fly the 78, visit great locations and chat up the young CC but maybe in later life. Good luck to those still in the assessment process.

I believe it’s continuous. Multiple courses a month which will continue into the foreseeable.

Asking for a friend

Right to live and work in UK
 
Hi folks,

Does anybody know if VAA is looking for people with no restrictions to live and work in UK or they may sponsor for working permit VISA?
Many thanks 🙏

CABUS 27th February 2023 19:07

Yes, virgin currently has a managed exit pathway.

sudden twang 28th February 2023 00:34

Care to share the managed exit deal?
if as these pages suggest there is an issue recruiting why have a MEP or is it just a reduce costs initiative?

They are struggling to recruit , an airline which is very exposed .
I would think VERY carefully about joining .If and when another “crisis” happens then be prepared for a knee jerk redundancy.

yes always about cost

CABUS 28th February 2023 10:25

Meps was bought to the table by balpa pre covid. There is no doubt it saves money but it’s also a nice way to retire. Being able to plan to retire years ahead with a percentage of your salary for up to seven years will significantly help the pension and lifestyle pot.
