We've lost about 8 fo's in the past two months so basically we'll still be short.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could PM a recruiters contact info or HR's contact info. Ive searched multiple places and came up short. I am current 121 in an E175 and have 4 years 135 experience, 3600 total, 300 TPIC, I would love to fly for VX. Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays!

That's not the way it really works.

1.) Apply online
2.) If you would like to speak to a recruiter, you will need to go to
job fair.
3.) Hope for the best

Do you live in California? Are you exactly 27 years old? Are you a regional FO? If you answer NO to any of the following questions, according to someone on here, then you are not the ideal candidate.

They don't tell us about that kind of stuff. It's top secret.

I believe Nov and Dec total 32 in class so based on a total of 98 that leaves 66 more to go Jan-May/June.

Heard 2 classes in Jan already filled and one in Feb.

What percentage of the LAX and SFO lists are reserves?

What do you have to do to actually score an interview here at VX. I applied end of October and did the assessment. Then reapplied again a few weeks ago. I'm planning on going to the job fair later in January. It seems like that's the only way to talk to any recruiter or get your name noticed. Really interested in Virgin. I live in the Bay Area.

You have to get a good score on the assessment. But other than that is anyone's guess. You however seem to have 2 out of the 3 requirements that some think are the preferred qualifications! You are a crj Fo and a local resident. Are you 27?

In all seriousness I think if you show your face at a job fair or two and don't act like a idiot, you're doing all you can. The assessment seems to be the biggest obstacle and unfortunately you never know how you scored on it. Good luck.
