Pilots continue to leave Virgin, including even to EuroFlyer.

Those on the easyJet scheme that came over to fly Airbus for 3 years , are leaving to go back early to EasyJet.

life style on the A330 and A350 is rubbish with mostly 1 x night 2 man trips. Virgin are returning 3 x Boeing 787’s to the leasing companies, when airlines want them and trying to move Boeing pilots and trainers over to the Airbus, of which hardly anyone is volunteering for.

of those recruited during the previously 12 months, it did not increase pilot numbers and did not completely replace the numbers that left for other airlines like emirates , BA, Jet 2 and EasyJet etc.

The union agreements previously negotiated, not completely implemented still.

Although the company did carry higher passenger numbers and had increased revenues, it did not declare a profit and instead a loss for the previous financial year.

Virgin is no longer a place to join as it was in the past and is just another airline. Try to avoid Virgin and go elsewhere
