Hi there, just to repeat the above, I used to fly for Virgin and you are Dual Based, so yes you fly from both LGW and LHR, and will have a mixture each month depending on your roster.. You will also be trained and fly on all 3 aircraft but it is only classed as 2. There is a crew bus and its great but it does add extra time onto your journey, especially if there isnt one that gets you to report on time, as you'll have to get the earlier bus. or if your flight is delayed and you miss the bus home.

Im now at Thomson and I am trained to fly on 6 aircraft, the 737-300 and 800. The 757, and the 767-200 and 300.. This still counts as 3 though as per the regulations, as the 737 and 767 types are classed as varients/conversions.
