Sorry not Scroggs (but he does appear in my logbook).
I have it on good authority (info about 2 months old though) that due to the shortage of pilots on the A340, Virgin had to get as many A340 and A330 rated and experienced pilots in as it could. Virgin also had to place those coming off the Classic on to other fleets. Courses are manned until June and Virgin have about 50 people still in the holding pool to place too.
