Not exactly a good deal, if another pandemic occurs for those not unrestricted and unable to fly elsewhere the type Virgin offer them.
Better off going to a short haul airline than VS in the U.K, like Easy or Jet 2.
Not sure what your definition of a good deal is, but a unemployed ex-Flybe pilot in their early-mid twenties with 300hrs total time and a next to useless type rating earning £63k to be cruise relief pilot for 2 years with the prospect of long haul command in their early-mid 30s sounds alright to me.
