Virgin Atlantic terms & conditions
Hi!

I am considering to move to another airline and I would appreciate very much if someone could tell me the actual conditions that Virgin pilots have:

Roster, salary, pension, bases/fleet, staff travel...are they really happy? have they laid off any pilot in the last few years?

Thanks

Don't come to Virgin
Last 8 yrs has seen 2 rounds of layoffs/demotions, flat salary for the last 4 yrs, very dissatisfied workforce. Base LHR, salary BA-40%, roster 2 weeks in advance. Don't come here if you can avoid it!

Generally good destinations, but the Boeing fleet is unhappy with the amount of DH around the Caribbean they do.... unpaid. Roster is min 10 days off a month, rostering regard that as a target now.
