Think about the long term!
Virgin are aware that the prospect of flying shiny new B777-300ER's is very attractive to a lot of younger pilots and is adjusting the salary to suit. If they look deeper into it they may rethink, ie long range flying across the Pacific is just about the most boring flying you can do especially if there is no career progression on to any other types/routes and LA would have to be the worst city in the US to have a slip - San Francisco and New York have character, LA has sleeze.
