Had the Virgin FA philosophy explained to me by one of their pilots the other day. While I am very glad my company doesn't do it that way, it sounded to me like Virgin FAs know exactly what they get into, what the company's aims and ideas are, and what is in it for the FAs.

Virgin, (acc to this chap) looks for young attractive people, easily smart enough to do their SEPs, with an outgoing personality and a fresh aproach to giving service. Young people who do not intend to make a career of being an FA, but who want to travel the world for a few years and then get into 'real' careers. As he said: " We don't pay them enough to make it worth their while staying, but we do make sure we have on every flight at least one senior old enough to bring to the operation the amount of life and FA experience necessary for an overall good and safe product."

One can argue about the truth and wisdom of that ( Flyblue & I did just that and he gave as good as he got ) but it works for Virgin and it works for those who FA with Virgin.

We all have the choice of who we fly with as pax, and no one has ever been forced to accept a job with Virgin either.
