Class of 10 starts Dec 28th. If I count correctly, there should be 4 vacancies for NYC FO. Usually, FOs that get NYC bid out to SFO/LAX on the next round so it always seems like a place that junior pilots get forced into.

They are keeping the HR people on so I think Virgin will still be doing the interviewing for the Virgin side for awhile. So no sim. The interview is very laid back. They are just looking to get to know your personality.

I have an interview coming up next month. Can anyone who has interviewed in December confirm that the dress code is still business casual, meaning nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt instead of a suit and a tie? Also what is the hiring outlook in 2017?

If your interview is in the Virgin HQs in Burlingame with Virgin employees, then yes it's business casual. For the VX side the published numbers for FY 2017 are 18 upgrades and 56 newhire FOs.

Any word on the application window or hiring outlook?

Curious because I'd like to meet with them at the NGPA conference.

Wow, looking through the NGPA website I was thinking of starting my own advocacy/new hire shakedown organization.

Anyone interested in a hiring fair in Kauai when I start the PIPA.... Pacific Islander Pilot Association?

Default No degree disqual.

Does checking the "College Degree" box "NO" immediately kick out one's online application?
