You will not get a choice which aircraft type you fly. (Edit: at least, that is the company line. You may now be asked which type you'd prefer, but whether your preference carries any weight, I don't yet know.)

All Virgin pilots are LHR based. However, more and more 744 flights are ex-LGW. The 744 also flies from Manchester, and that operation will be expanding as well.

With 18 A340s on line, 7 more arriving next year, and plenty more to come after that, versus 14 B744s and no more to come, you are far more likely to go to the Bus than the Boeing.
