Very much luck to all applying for FO roles within VA
The pays not what it was and with inflation screaming along probably it’s going to get worse
On the plus it’s practically part time. You work your balls off then you get a **** ton of time off. I’ve actually taken off a lot of weight under the new regime. The system does give you a chance to get fit and be with family and friends. Most of the skippers are very cool guys but unfortunately due to roster optimising it’s harder to form bonds. Plus is cheaper overnights
For those interviewing. Would you allow HR to pick Manchester United players ? Of course not. Virgin did it very well in the old days with the old fireside chat. Don’t take it hard if Jenny Aka from HR DOUBTS YOUR MOTIVATION . Another company will pick you up
best wishes to all
