Any reputable company should bend over backwards to make it right if anything can be done at that point and beg for forgiveness for screwing that up. Any good HR person knows that you don't screw with an employee's pay, whether it's the amount they are owed, the time they are supposed to get it, or the format they are expecting.
If you were the CEO of VX, what would you do?

Sounds like a great interview question.

Virgin is not the worst place, I'll give you that. It's definitely not as advertised either. I'm glad you love it here, that makes one of us. You'll have my spot soon as Virgin has now served my purpose.
What the cheerleaders will never understand is that other managements KNOW EXACTLY what VX pilots will take and still do the job. Then they do their best to make their pilots accept the same level of wages/benefits.

It's called the race to the bottom and VX pilots lead the way.

What do you expect? The airline is barely half a decade old. You have to learn to crawl before you can run.

US Airways pilots lead the race to the bottom, fish breath. With their delusioned goal of DOH and keeping the west separate, creating a permanent B scale. But don't let facts get in the way of a good bashing of VX. It must have sucked to get turned down at VX in 2007/8, but what do you care? You got hired at Alaska.

Anyone else heading up for interviews for Tuesday or Thursday? Unfortunate to see no reviews from the guys that interviewed last week! Not too late to share the wealth guys!

Any idea how long after taking the initial Assessment it takes to (hopefully) get the follow up email from them?

It's hard to say, could be anything from 2 days to 2 months. If you don't pass the assessment you don't hear anything.
