Thanks for the info Scroggs - I was wondering how the monthly takehome pay compares to an Easyjet SFO.
It's not much different to what you're getting - I get about £3200 before pension contributions. But I get useful allowances, I don't go to work as often as you do (like 4 times a month!), there are no 'earlies' or 'lates', I don't pay for my uniform, or food and I have a 3% annual increment whatever else goes on pay-wise.

a little off subject, but, any word on where virgin usa will base? san francisco hopefully?
Dunno. Virgin USA is nothing to do with Virgin Atlantic.

Are there many female pilots in Virgin? Wondering what my chances might be: ~4000 hours, current on EMB-145, RHS, hoping for LHS but command here is dead man's shoes at the moment.
Virgin has fewer female pilots than you'd imagine, given the progressive image the company likes to give out. The proportion is about 10% or less. Anyway, your qualifications are fine, so please apply if what we do floats your boat.
