Fortunately, Virgin has never made a pilot redundant whenever there has been fleet oversupply, which has happened multiple times in the last 20 years for various reasons. They, with the help of the pilots have managed oversupply. Something they can be very proud of. I would think that will be the same now. Once the “flu stops” and the industry stabilises, another Route can easily be found and then suddenly they are short again.
