Re: Virgin Questions
Those figures are entirely up to date as of 6 January 06. Virgin does not pay 'per diem' rates, but pays subsistence allowances at rates appropriate to each destination. The profit-related element of pay has protections built in to ensure that you will receive the full amount even if the company has not rostered you the full 750 hours yet you were available. You cannot exceed your contracted hours (with a little flex) without your agreement, and there are contingency (overtime) pay arrangements for that circumstance.
Command pay rates are irrelevant to this forum as Virgin Atlantic do not employ direct-entry captains. Therefore the earliest such rates would be relevant to readers here is 7 to 9 years from now, assuming current time to command continues (this has been discussed on other threads).
