No flying hrs allowance, as you are paid a full time wage.

There may be times where may only actually work 3/4/5 days a week and then have a cpl of available days, where they may call you. If so a generous call out fee is offered plus penalty style rates while flying

Also Virgin offers 4 weeks paid annual leave and also 2 weeks paid ad hoc leave. So thats 6 wks a year, which is pretty good.

I guess the additional income is made from overnights, which is around $90 per night tax free allowance. Once online you can request as many or as little as you like. Typically you may do 3 or 4 a week.

Important to note that VB is undergoing a massive growth phase due to E jets later this year and also LH next year etc . So there will be a lot of oppurtunity in the near future for quick advancement up the chain, if thats what you are looking for. It is the ideal time to look into working for VB.

Its hard to give an accurate figure on a yearly salary, as it depends on the individuals chosen work patterns and such but perhaps a figure could be around $60000pa
