Hi All,
I’m currently a junior LH P2 at BA and can honestly say I’m really not happy with it. The people I fly with are great, but I find that the company is toxic and the rosters untenable. As it stands I’m looking to jump ship and Virgin seems like the obvious choice as I like doing LH.
I’ve done a fair bit of research on life at Virgin, but as a lot less people are moaning about it on here, and I don’t know any other VS pilots, it’s quite hard for me to paint a full picture. Are there any VS pilots here that could clear some things up for me? (Even better if it’s someone who’s done a BA-VS move). In particular I’ve got the following q’s:
1: How are the rosters and what dictates taken a 3rd (and 4th?) pilot? I know about the 750 limit and rotating seniority, but not much more than that.
2: How is crew interaction? Is there an obvious FD/CC split or do people socialise and act as a whole crew
3: I’ve read rumours about a B pay scale, have these materialised and would I likely be recruited into it if so?
4: How easy is it to commute and how does staff travel work?
and any other insights/info you can give would be greatly appreciated!
