Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to complete the online assessment.

Can you please complete the below questionnaire and send back to me via email ASAP?

Thanks!

1. Why are you interested in working at Virgin America?

Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to work for Virgin America. There was always something about this airline. It may have been its rebel founder, but I know deep down it was those shiny jets. In addition to sparkling airplanes, Virgin America has always been a leader in advancing technology. Al Gore may have taken the credit for inventing The Internet, but after flying on Virgin America, I know his claim is a myth. Virgin America created inflight wi-fi, seatback televisions, and the electronic flight bag. Most of the Silicon Valley has taken its ideas from Virgin America. Where would Apple be without it? As the most innovative airline ever to exist, I aspire to add to its creative culture. I have really good ideas which can make Virgin America cooler than it already is. From tighter pilot uniform pants to my own special cola drink, I think you will like what I have to say. I am looking forward to sharing these and more.

2. Why are you looking to leave your current position?

My time at GoJet has been really rewarding. After getting awesome seniority and beating out the competition at Trans States, there really isn't more for me to do. The paint is beginning to fade here and Virgin America will give me an opportunity to undercut more pilots flying the same equipment. I'm the pilot for you.

3. Have you ever been terminated or failed a training event at a previous employer?

I was fired from TSA. Not as a security officer silly goofs! I was terminated due to my questionable character. Then I was hired at GoJet because of it. Who would have thought that downfall would lead to such a great triumph? Better yet, my failed training events weren't even a factor.

4. What is your total Flight time?  What is your total turbine PIC time?

-7654 hrs total
-3210 turbine PIC note: some microsoft flight sim logged for this requirement

5. PRIA:  If answering “yes” to any of the below questions, please explain in detail.

·                     Have you ever been involved in an aircraft accident/incident?

Yes. I believe you learn by doing. By being accident prone, I have gained an extensive background in what not to do during aircraft accidents and incidents. About a month ago, I taxied the airplane past the jetway and into the terminal. The good news is that when the forward cabin door opened, the airstairs landed right in front of Starbucks. Believe me when I say I was the first person off. I had the best chai tea latte and a scone to boot!

·                     Do you have any violations? 

I'm not sure which one you are asking. Was I the one doing the violating or was I the one being violated? I have personal examples of both that I am willing to share with you as I share with my passengers.

·                     Have you ever failed a rating/type ride/PC check?

Yes. My expertise has evolved from failure. It is better to have failed than have not tried at all, right? I have failed at least 80 percent of all my check rides. I had never been upside down in an aircraft, and when I tried it inadvertently during my last PC check, there was this guy wearing a blue sport jacket observing. He was not pleased, but if you hire me, I'll show him!

·                     Have you ever been convicted of DUI / any felony convictions?

Too many to count sometimes. I look at my DUIs like I do my work absences. Over time they go to zero. That's if I can catch rides home from the airport. I enjoy a martini or three at the terminal bar when I step off my last flight. As for my jail time, I consider it needed vacation. It gives me mandatory nap time. And the sheets are cleaned for you!

6. Have you ever interviewed with Virgin America before?

Yes. I stood outside the office parking lot in Burlingame with my squeegee in hand. Whenever I saw someone drive up I would clean their window and beg for an interview. After several months, I received a conditional interview. I stopped begging as part of our deal, but you never contacted me after the interview. Did you lose my file?

I hereby certify all the statements and answers set forth are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I am willing that a photocopy of this authorization be accepted with the same authority as the original; and that if employed by the above-named company this authorization will remain in effect throughout such employment unless prohibited by applicable law or I withdraw my authorization in writing.

I agree to the terms and conditions above:
