I just went in to update my resume that has been in there for 5 months and this assessment test showed up. At least most of the 'Test' is not pass or fail. Safe to say those type of problem solving questions have nothing to do with flying.

"Captain the left engine is shut down and the other is on fire. What should we do?"

"Give more training to Karl because he did not meet his sale goals the last 2 out of 3 months."

Sounds good to me!!

Is VX looking for pilots or doctorate candidates?

No clue, but after looking over each question I'd say score was in the 90's on that first part.

Maybe if you can't finish the USA Today crossword puzzle, jumble, and soduku between SFO and LAX, then you're not VX material. Hahaha.

Default Probably a dumb question...

Are all of you VX hopefuls checking the status page on your career application on the Virgin website? Does anyone have anything in the "Action" field? I have heard from a friend in training there that until the assessment gets back to HR from the contract company, nothing at all can be done, and they eliminate those they feel are not "Virgin Material" (Never thought that would be a pilot requirement!)... so we will only hear from VX if A) the off-site shrinks like what they saw in the assessment, AND B) the HR department decides to call... there are no "NO" responses, only maybes

Arrgh! I sure would like to at least know they will tell me they are not interested.

I am still trying to find answers to that myself from friends there.
