Recruiting is currently suspended, so the question is moot. My own experience suggests that very few TP drivers have been recruited by Virgin unless they also have jet time. The C130 is slightly different - there aren't that many civil turboprops around of that size. Yes, I know you can quote me the L188, An12, Belfast and others, but pilots of these types aren't thick on the ground!
Virgin, like most airlines, respects the training and experience of military pilots highly, but being an ex-FJ mate is no passport to a job. Plenty have been rejected...
