If you apply in February with 2200 hours and get to the interview (or at least the document checking) stage in August with 2510 hours, it would be a little bit obvious, don't you think? As most Virgin pilots have 4000+ hours on selection, I suspect the question will remain hypothetical, however.
Katanaman read through this thread and follow the link to the previous one. The information you want is contained within - and a great deal else besides. That said, I have heard a suggestion that the selection procedure is changing slightly, but I have no further information at this stage.
