Different people are looking for different things …Virgin might be a great choice for some people, others will be better off at a different gig. I think it’s easy to fall into the trap in these airline-specific threads (I’m seeing it in the BA thread) of thinking everyone thinks like me, is in the same financial situation as me, and is looking for the same things as me.
The good news is in the space of a week, the options for people to look elsewhere have gotten much better.
Spot on - not everyone is the same or have similar priorities. I was about to get my CV fired up, but now that I looked at that pay scale I can't justify a pay-cut of £300k plus over the next 10 years until I get a shot into a position I already have. While VS have a lot of really nice perks, they still fall short on the long run. Wish I was 21 again!
