If you wish to study Virgin Atlantic's history, structure and network, the information is out there. As Virgin is a private company, financial figures are less easy for an outsider to get hold of than they are for, say, BA, and so you are not expected to know them. In any case, you should receive a briefing on the company on your interview day.
[Edit] However, these days there is the occasional need to investigate an applicant's motivation a little deeper, and a working knowledge of Virgin's fleet, bases, routes and ambitions would demonstrate a greater than passing interest!
It is important that you have a good grasp of the issues and difficulties affecting all airlines at the moment, particularly as they relate to the long-haul market. As for why you want to join Virgin, please try to have a thought-through and convincing answer to that one!
The edit is to reflect information newly received!
