Well I can tell ya right now that your small sampling (14) of former AN pilots definitely do not represent the thoughts of the rest of the organisation. An observation it may be, but its results are not indicitive of the true feelings within the company (or ex-company).
Anyway to get back to the original topic.. it is true that
VB can hire who they want, when they want, but they DO need to abide by state and federal anti discrimination legislations. So really they need to hire a variety of different kinds of people. It is a shame that
VB does not appear to recognise the amazing skills, talents and abilities of those that do not fit the Virgin mold (or is that "mould"? Where's my spell checker) - they may find some hidden gems out there.
Hope the ex-AN crew have a successful resolution.
