Very interesting that the amount you stated and the amount they stated are totally different. I wonder why it's changed that quickly in the space of a few weeks.

Hi everyone, first post on here but I've been following for a while. Congratulations to everyone else that has passed testing and medicals! I will be attending the keep in touch event tonight, but not sure if to go suited and booted (suit, shirt and tie) or to go smart casual (smart jeans with a shirt). What's everyone else wearing? Now that I'm this far in the process I don't want to turn up over/under dressed
If anyone could please relay any valuable info from this evening it would be much appreciated

A very informative event and was great to meet those who we will be working with at KX. There was a lot of Q&A and think everyone got most of their questions answered. The main thing for me was that those based at KX depot will only go as far as Newcastle during their runs. Attending last night really did show me how blessed and proud we should be that we actually got in to work for Virgin as it feels like an amazing company to work for.
Anything said in regards to contracts/offer letters? If you have a start date is this confirmed or as it's been a while dates may change? Thanks
Spoke to Becky directly and she has asked those who haven't had start dates to be patient as they will get round to sorting it for everyone. I don't have a start date yet and could be put on a course in October/November but she couldn't confirm. Offers will go out to everyone once they have a start date confirmed.
It was funny speaking to her as we spoke about this forum and she knows about it and how people haven't had their emails replied to by her. She just said she's been extremely busy and they have a process to this and don't want to overload the current training courses that have started. Understandable I guess.

Cheers for the info!
Just hoping I get first choice of depot now.
Hi All,
I've been following the thread for a while as I've been working my way through the recruitment process. Was absolutely over the moon to get the "congratulations you passed the psychometrics" on Friday. What a feeling, I still can't believe it. As an average joe off the street, to be offered this opportunity, I'm stunned. As has been said by many before, this forum has been massively helpful so thanks to all who have positively contributed to the thread. I hope to meet some of you later in the year!

Congratulations! It's such a great feeling isn't it
I found out nearly 2 weeks ago and even though I don't think we'll be starting for some time as most of the initial courses are now full, it's great to have something to look forward to. What pyschometric testing day did you attend?
I'm not too sure what's happening with medicals. If we're not starting until the end of 2017/start of 2018 will we just do it closer to our start date or will we get them out of the way sooner.

Congratulations! Welcome to the the waiting game
That it is... Been two weeks since I got my 'congrats' email and I can't wait to find out when I start!
Congrats all, where are you based?
I had psych tests early April and waiting on a medical date at present.

Edinburgh (hopefully), how about you?
Yeah same here re medical...
I'm hoping for Newcastle, although seem to be quite far down the list I think. Speaking with others at the event the other week it appears there's quite a few already done medicals and waiting for a course date.
Could be a long wait, but be more than worth it in the end
I'm hopefully going to be based at Newcastle too. A lad that I met on my Psychometrics day (and again last week) was talking to one of the staff who's based there and they said the current average driver age at Newcastle is 55 which I find pretty incredible!
