HR is very slow, at best. VA should fired the hole Department. Unless your ex United or US Air very hard to get an interview.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Most fun I've had at an interview. Start off with ice breaker, get to know people and have group interviews. you get so close to the other candidates, you kind of forget they're your compeition. You almost hope that everyone gets the 7 positions even though there's 60 of you interviewing that day.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
Met up with the group of people during the interview and was able to chat up and get to know some. You could definatly see the extrovert and introverts in the group. We all made to a room and divided into table groups and played some introactive games and questions that I am sure were closely watched by the staff,
Then on to a one on one interview that was enjoyable and engageing. I was asked several questions and given a chance to explain my reasoning to want to go into the department. Short and sweet...and I would hear back.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took 3 weeks)
Applied online- was contacted by email to call them for a quick phone interview. Had Phone interview with someone from California at headquarters. She asked me if I would like to come to a group interview being held at a hotel a few days later. I went at 10am- dressed nice. There were 30+ people there at the hotel.. very casual atmosphere..everyone super nice. We were divided into groups and did role play/ ice breakers for an hour. Virgin presented the company for an hour. We were then taken one by one for individual interviews. Was told they would be in contact in 1-2 weeks. They checked ALL employment and education making sure all matched. Received an email to go get a drug test. Got offer and started 3 week training

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
got a email from my department. I expressed my interest of doing the internship. I was then contact by the HR department at Virgin America and they told me they would like to meet me on site.
I then went to the interview, the interviewers were very polite and professional (who also turned out to the exact people I work with/for during my internship experience).
They asked me about my past experiences and I share with them my background. There wasn't much technical or tactical questions, I would say they are entirely behavioral.
They told me they like my background and will be contact within a week, and I got an offer within a week after the interview.

Make sure you read the job description before applying, Postings do not state transportation is the responsibly of the applicant. HR will advise most during the initial call for interview but in some cases they only tell you that during a call to set up interview that week or next week.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 4 months)
Applied online, received a phone call from HR a few weeks to month after application. Was screened via the phone before offered an inperson interview. Received a space available ticket to go to HQ in Burlingame, chose to spend the night which was not covered, but was offered the use of the corporate discount. Everyone was friendly including the ticket and counter agents at the departure airport, as well as the additional VX crew checking into the hotel at the same time. When I arrived for the interview I was told to check in with the front desk and then escorted to the break room area to wait. Everyone was casually dressed and very personable. Interview took place in the department area and consisted of the hiring manager and their manager. They used a packet of interview questions with which the wrote notes about your answers to each question. The standard interview HR questions as well as techincal specific questions including being handed data and asked how you would present it graphically. After the interview was complete was taken up tp HR to answer any of those types of questions. I was told they were interested in filling the position quickly and that they were conducting interviews the rest of the week and would here back in the next couple of weeks . Unfortunately even with multiple follow ups I was never informed I did not receive the job until a contact within the company informed me 4 months later they had met the person chosen.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
The process started off with replying to the job posting on the company's webpage. Once complete, I then received an invitation to take an online assessment. It was pretty straightforward, and one of those "either your right for the job, or you're not" kind of tests. There's no way to study for it really - it's more personality & character based.
I was then invited for an in-person interview at Headquarters in Burlingame, CA. It was quite different from all of the other airline interviews I had been to in the past. Much more casual, MUCH more friendly. There was a lot of group interaction involved with other interviewees, as well as some one-on-one chats with Inflight management.
Add to that the background check and drug screening, and before you know it, I was in training. It really was quite an efficient and pleasant process - as pleasant as interviews can be, I guess :-)
Negotiation Details
Not much negotiation here, as there is a set pay scale and work rules for all flight attendants.
