Virgin Atlantic still short of pilots ?
...
Having c***ed up their numbers so they had to ask pilots to give up their leave in July in order to fly the committed program, it must have been an unsuccessful appeal because apparently Virgin Atlantic are now asking pilots to volunteer to work on their days off because they are still short. Or perhaps the problem has shifted to August.
While they have pilots sitting at home and are short on the line, they still seem determined to unload some 300 to 400 pilots - or only keep 550 - whatever this week's crystal balls-up says.
If they're that short, a pilot recruitment advert in the back of Flight Global might attract some takers.
Any news on the crowd-funding appeal mentioned in Count von A's link above ?
