PPJN is accurate although unclear. Your pay is guaranteed at 60 sectors per year, even if you fly 10 sectors. Anything over 60 sectors is where the variable pay comes in.
Almost everything you earn at a Virgin is pensionable, including office day payments etc. Only thing that isn’t is day off payments. Pension is total 21% (15 company, 6 pilot). Compared to elsewhere where it’s just your basic that’s pensioned.

Almost all (4 out of 6 flights per day) west coast has been 2 nights for the last 18-24 months. Just 2 flights are still 1 nights. But that is changing with new pay deal. All west coast will be 2 nights with 3 days off minimum
The rule in the new agreement is anything greater than 10 hours block time outbound = 2 nights. This is the same rule we had prior to Covid. Also covers South Africa, Maldives etc.
