Although his fleet has an extensive Caribbean network, time off and trip bid choices rarely awarded, with only a couple of Caribbean trips ln last year or so.
It also appears seniority not apparent in B787 course progression, as more junior pilots allocated at random.
With such a seemingly poor rostering system, sickness seems the only way to regulate stress and fatigue at the moment.

Just been reading through your past posts ......
not really a fan of VS are you
obviously I can’t talk for everyone at Virgin , but being on the 787 fleet is probably one of the best jobs going in the uk .
I do 3 , 4 (MAX) trips a month and fly with some real good guys and girls
Compared to my previous employer Big Air it’s a breath of fresh air and I never look back
