Training dates

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have an idea from experience how long it took from finding out you were successful to being emailed a starting date and then to actually starting. On my assessment date we were advised April for training dates which is brilliant but wanted to know Roughly how much time you have to look for accommodation, medical, referencing, visas?? The reason’s I ask is the company I work for now don’t make it easy for workers to get referencing sorted which is making me panic Incase I can’t get everything done before the date virgin require me to start if that makes sense.

If anyone has any rough estimates on there experience on this could you drop me a message.

TIA

Hey!

Congrats on getting the job
I got my start date in December and that was about 3 weeks after my interview. I start next month so don’t worry they give you plenty of time to sort everything out! With referencing they won’t contact your current employer until a month before your start date. You just have to keep chasing everything up. Hope that helps x

Hi. I found out I was successful mid September, 5 days after my AD. My start date/referencing info came thru end November for an end of Jan start date. They allow 2 months for it all as there's references, visa, medical, uniform etc. A lot to fit in especially if you're working full time

Hey! This is a bit off subject but I just wanted to know do crew get a salary during training or do they only start getting paid once they have got their wings?

Thanks! X
