howie in Berwick, Pennsylvania said: hi, You do have to get your own hotel. I go on the 20th I am staying at the Sheraton the night before since the interviews are there. I think training is 4 weeks and you do have to get your own hotel, but you also get paid while in training. When is your interview?? |

howie in Berwick, Pennsylvania said: hi sf, Training is 28 days or so. And,those of us on this forum that will be training starting May 27th and don't live in SFO we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express. The current class is at the Embassy Suites, but with summer we couldn't get the same rate. They will talk to you about pay at training, but they do pay well compared to many others. I am not comfortable doing that here. It may be somewhere back on the forum. I would still encourage you read back, because you will get information that haven't even thought to ask. Make sure you make friends with people at the interview and swap information, so you will have people to share with if there aren't many here. Good luck. |

Erika in Salinas, California 6 months ago |
Hi, friends in Training Class 5/27! I am still waiting to get the final offer letter - I have done the drug test on Monday 5/12 and finished the Verifications online application last Thursday night, 5/8/08. Hopefully by Friday. So, quick question. I live driving distance to SFO (2 hours 15 min. on smooth traffic days). I want to stay by the Training Center during the week, but go home weekends. Having a weekend is definitely a better deal financially, and also great to have someone to study with. Let me know when everyone gets the offer and e-mailed the study paperwork. See you in 2 weeks - WOW! |
|
Erika in Salinas, California 6 months ago |
I typed too fast and left out some key words - sorry! I am hoping to hear the final word by this Friday. Having a roommate is definitely a better deal financially......... Just wanted to clear that up. I will contact the Holiday Inn as soon as I hear. Erika in Salinas, California said: Hi, friends in Training Class 5/27!

Erika, this is Steve just want to let you know we don't have weekends off during training from what I hear you go 6 consecutive days with one day off then 5 consecutive with one or two off I am not sure. but it won't be full weekends. I hope I didn't wreck your night. LOL!!! I look forward to meeting you in two weeks. I too haven't heard final yet as I got drug tested on sunday the 11th and did my online app friday night the 9th. hope this helps you. take care |

Hi all! I have a conditional offer, just interviewed today. I think I'll be in the May 27th class, wondering if anyone else is looking for a hotel to split or not.... I did do some searching on craigslist and there seemed to be some hostels in San Fran that might not be too expensive .... |
|
Jessica in San Diego, California 6 months ago |
Welcome Nicole!!! There is another thread on this forum with all of us who will be in the 5/27 class. We have already started booking hotels, we got a pretty good deal so please check it out www.indeed.com/forum/job/flight-attendant/05390c183c137e1f737a4b01 |

Well I am in Detroit now about to head back home to Orlando. They are doing a FAA evac drill tomorrow here, so last night I partied with my trainers and a lot of FA's I've flown with. I guess it was my pseudo going away party. Anywho....still waiting for the email. I will talk to you all soon!

Phillip in San Francisco, California 6 months ago |
hey guys.... looks like you can add me to the roll call on May 27th!!!!! I already live downtown San Francisco, is anyone else an SF'er that will be driving to training, if so I could totally spot some cash to carpool! I can't believe this happened so quickly I literally applied two weeks ago, interviewed on the 14th and now have my offer letter! Are you virgin enough? |

Larry Wu in Burlingame / San Francisco, California 6 months ago |
howie in Berwick, Pennsylvania said: larry, The pay and benefits isn't much of a secret at VA. If you've been to the interview they should have told you that it's 19 / flight hour. Benefits are always being rolled in as this is a new company, not sure what specific benefits your looking at. "Is it worth it?" That really depends on who your asking. I didn't exactly come here for the income or the benefits but instead I came here as a solution to my personal stressful life and to meet new people with a new life style. Of course there are other reasons that goes along with it but those are my main ones. The question if it's worth it or not is very subjective and it depends on who your asking :) For me? Hell yea it's worth it! haha.. I love working at VA and everyone who works there! =) Training is about 4 weeks, housing / food is not provided but you get paid for training. With other airlines you might get housing paid for but not training so.. it's all about the same when it comes down to it, no surprise there. Benefits usually kick in after your training since.. think about it.. you can't use your benefits when your in training anyways :) There's a day in training devoted to benefits and all that goodie stuff. :) Larry |

I also can't believe you applied two weeks and now you have your offer letter but can't wait to see you in training when I drop by to say hi! But as we all know, you still have one big leap to go which is go thru and complete training successfully, but I have faith in everyone who gets to go to training and can't wait to see you in the air Phillip! =) Larry |

I did do some searching on craigslist and there seemed to be some hostels in San Fran that might not be too expensive .... Congrats Nicole! Can't wait to see you in the skies when you graduate from training! =) Keep in mind that it's best to find a hotel close by to headquarters since.. there's no point in saving a few dollars here and there if you end up having to find another mode of transportation to get you to training everyday. The red roof, sheraton, and a few others that were named on here are all within reasonable walking distance to HQ :) Alexinthesky in Nashville, Tennessee said: I am 45 and I think I am young.

Sherry in San Diego, California said: Larry- congrats on graduating!!! you have made me even more excited to start training :) Thanks :) Most difficult part?... The most difficult part is seeing those who end up not being able to continue training with you for various reasons. You tend to build a tight bond with those at training as the days go on. Despite what some may think, two days can feel like two weeks and training isn't a challenge against your team mates or your instructors since your all in there together. Losing a team mate during training for me was the most difficult part of training. The training material and process itself to me isn't all that difficult, some tell me it's because I have so much passion when I came in but it varies from person to person. I hope to see YOU and EVERYONE ELSE in the air in July :) SFDenver in Highlands Ranch, Colorado said: Congratulations to everyone that graduated last week. Can't wait to meet and fly with all of you!! Just waiting on my final email with the all clear! :) Can't wait to fly with you too!!! Larry |

t diz in San Francisco, California said: congrats larry, Hey Trina, All I can indulge on is, study EVERYTHING prior to training and during training. It'll make your life easier and less to worry about :) Always anticipate and be prepared for anything on the test. If you have that mentality you'll do just fine. Right now I'm on reserve and flying. I personally think it's fun and exciting on reserve only because I like the spontaneous calls to fly somewhere with a new crew that I can meet and get to know during my trips. Of course that's only because I live locally; the further you are away from SFO the less likely you'll like to be on reserve. But in June I'll be able to hold a line and from what others have told me (with no prior airline experience), being on reserve for one month is unheard of in this industry. The success rate for every class is different, that's not something I can say, or even guess for that matter. The materials to me is not all that super hard, but it does require a good amount of dedication to training. Being that most if not everyone in training wanted to be there, the dedication part shouldn't be that hard to find :) Tiffany in Los Gatos, California said: Sadly, I will not be joining you all either. I am in the final interview stages for Alaska so send some positive vibes my way!! Good luck to you all. Im happy for you guys. Tiffany I wish you the best at Alaska! I was sitting at starbucks one day and had a quick small chat with a fellow Alaska Airline employee and she seems very nice and happy at her job. She was taking off on Virgin America to Las Vegas that following weekend! So I'm sure you'll be in great hands and good luck to you at Alaska Tiffany! Cheers!

I received my offer letter about two days ago and am so excited for training May 27th. Unfortunately, I am in the process of moving to Los Angeles this week so haven't realy had a chance to look for lodging in SF. If anyone has any suggestions or would like to share lodging expenses, please contact me . The company would be exciting.

Diana, please look at the other forum us may 27th classmates are in... just search "Roll Call VA May 27th" and you should find it. A lot of people are from out of town and most got a deal at the Holiday Inn Express last I checked. Phillip in San Francisco, California said: Thanks Larry! I am so nervous but pretty confident that I will make it... I wonder if anyone will be driving from San Francisco? I would love to carpool! Phillip, I'm interested in carpooling. I live in the East Bay and my girlfriend lives in the Mission (22nd and Bryant), so I think I might be crashing with at her place most nights to cut down on the driving. Meet up with me in the other forum and we'll exchange some contact info to see if we can organize a carpool. Holla! |

Larry- I have been through every page of this post and want to say you are quite the inspiration! Keep up the posting, it clearly encourages a lot of people. I am a FA with a regional now and absolutely love it. Due to the economy and talks of cutbacks I am applying to VA but not because I want to leave my current company. Is there talk within VA about future domiciles? And what are the current agreements with other carriers? I have seen Jet Blue, ASA and Frontier mentioned here. Trying to figure out if SFO is commutable from PDX. I have family in Concord which could provide a crash pad of sorts. VA seems like it has a great atmosphere, which is oh-so-important to me as a prospective employee. It would just be difficult for me to make the jump since I am so happy with my current job. Would be easier if there was talk of more domiciles coming soon-ish. SEA or DEN? Obviously not PDX since they are not flying in & out of there. hough I did see one of your planes at PDX about 5 days ago- apparenly for a mechanical. Thanks again for all the advice you have posted, Larry! |

Eller var? I don't have any Swedish characters on this computer, so excuse the spelling. Sounds like a lot of rumors. The out of country domiciles are just that, I am sure. Does someone working at VA now have any insight? Also- for an ITM who has bee on reserve- how are your reserve bids shaking out? Are you flying a lot? More than guarantee? What are the odds of you getting called on a reserve day? Are you able to request "first out" or "last out"? Bottom line, if I am on reserve I want to be getting trips, not sitting in SFO waiting for one, so that is why I am curious. |

I will be at the interview on Friday- can anyone share some tips on the interview process? Thanks |
|
D-Trick in Seattle, Washington 6 months ago |
(Not in Seattle, but in SF) basically the interview is a make or break. it's a group interview, and to be quite honest there isn't much one on one interaction with the interview panel. they pretty much tell you all about the company and the aspects of job (as if you got the job already) and then you perform an icebreaker where everyone speaks in front of the group so everyone can see how your personality is. during this time, all members of the panel are taking notes on you. afterwards you go in for one on ones where they'll ask you a few questions (which i won't disclose) and that's pretty much it. my one on one didn't even last 2 minutes. then you'll either get an e-mail saying sorry and thanks or an e-mail to take the drug test and move on. luckily i got the latter. hope that helps! just be yourself and you should do fine! |
