Virgin interview timeline question

[tzskipper]

Has anyone recently taken the on-line psych evaluation as part of the VA interview process? If so, how long until a response was received?

Thanks,

I was called the next day for an interview. I declined the interview though, so that's about the limit to my knowledge about them.

Thanks NAA,

How long ago did you take the on-line eval?

Why would you do that? What reasons? Couldn't give up your Boeing for the Fifi jet?

I took it on 17 April and haven't heard a peep since. Hope I didn't fail it.

It took two weeks for me to hear back.

Give or take a week or so, I took the eval about three months ago.

Well, outside of not really wanting to trade a 767 for the "Fifi jet" the main reasons were the pay was/is a little low, the commute to SFO from the midwest was going to be problematic, and friends telling me that the schedules over there are a little rough right now. The bottom line was my going to the interview would have been a waste of each other's time.

And a big SFO hug for you yuppyguppy.

Hang in there tzskipper. We are inundated with applicants right now. The interviews are on Wednesdays with 12 slots each session. The time between the online assessment and interview call is variable. Best wishes, there is plenty of flying to come. Getting on now will be around one year upgrade.

We are inundated with applicants right now.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Virgin Nigeria, starts their first year F/O at close to $4,000 monthly pay based on 65 hours/M. That comes out at $61/H
And this is in an airline that is based in one of the poorest nations on the face of the planet.

Virgin America, starts their F/O at $2,060 based on 65 hours/month and $44/H

This is $17 less than our counterparts in the part of the world that historically used to pay less for the pilot profession.

How can this company be inundated with applications as this individuals claims?
Why is it that we as American pilots are willing to work for 30% less than pilots in the poorest nations on the planet?
Is there no more sense of pride left on us?[/FONT]

LOL...ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

Didn't they offer math at any of the schools you attended?

First 44 x 65 = 2860

Second, where did you pull 65 hours out of? The base is 70 hours and there is as much flying available as you want. We can do 85+ hours a month no problem Plus it's 125% for every hour over 82.

Nice grammar!

Last I checked Nigeria was a nation. Not a "nations."

So what does a sense of pride feel like when it is "on" you? :laugh:


If I where you I would seek out a local community college.

Dumb Pilot......very apropos

Exactly!

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Typical FI answer, an attack instead of a logical argument. So you make more because you fly more Hum? Guess what? All the pilots that work for the Virgin group fly a lot.

Please answer the question without resorting to nonsense. Why for pilots in the USA it is OK to earn less than what the same Virgin group is paying your counterparts in some of the poorest nations on the planet?[/FONT]
