..........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.......
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
my bold
12,000 hours TT, A320 and A330/350 ratings, and over 10 years flying A330 TransAtlantic to JFK, Florida, San Fransisco, Las Vegas, Kansas, Calgary, Cancun, and to Maldives, Goa, Nairobi, Cape Town, etc etc.
Applied to VA twice. Went through the online tests and telephone assessment. No interview !!
And I still get weekly reports from LinkedIn that my qualifications and experience exactly match the VA pilot requirements. No interview !!
Go figure.
