Not all of the new recruits are coming from a superb and expensive training enviroment.
Virgin has traditionally spread it's recruitment around a bit, to avoid any cliques becoming established. I spoke to some recruitment people the other day, where it became apparent that 70 pilots could come from as many as 20 sources, with possibly as little as 10 from any one background. A course of 8 starting next month come 7 airlines/RAF, with several non-Brits joining. Having said that, i am sure that there will be some coming on board from orange land, who will be v welcome and i am sure will enjoy a change of scenery.
