Cargo Boy,
It's very easy from your elevated status on a Virgin megaplane to look down on us poor peasants who actually handle little aeroplanes daily rather than dehydrate in bunks for hours. Virgin is established and BALPA does very well, it's obviously the right choice for you. It may not be the right choice for us, despite your eloquent reasoning.
Also, how about delaying your posts until you've got over your jetlag? From the tone of your post you don't seem to be a very nice person to know at the moment, but after a good night's local rest I'm sure you'll probably be just as pleasant as a Jet2 pilot.
