I've been at VS for the past 6 months and I'm having a fantastic time! After flying two years of short haul, the thrill of going straight into long haul and seeing the world on beautiful big planes is unbelievable! Having gone from turbo props where I had to duck every time I walked under an exit sign, I still have to pinch myself when I'm walking up the jetway onto the 744! I love the Virgin image, the brand, and the on board product is truely unique.
....Having said that, the money is shockingly bad compared to other airlines. I was a purser in my last airline so I've taken a pay cut of approx £400 p/month. At the moment the lifestyle is fabulous and I'm still excited everytime I go to a new place, but if I'm honest (and realistic) I can see myself looking at other airlines again in another 12-18 months.
Good luck!!
