Well as time passes it will just take longer for one to get a command at Virgin. Most that have joined will have at least 3000-4000 hours. Those waiting for commands at Virgin at the moment have probably been there for around 8-9 years. That means that those ready for their command will probably have at least 9000 hrs. The argument of not having
'enough manual take-offs and landings to progress to command' does not seem to hold much weight when viewed in this context.
I am not at Virgin but I am using figures based on people I know who are there. Anyway I must shut up since this is a bmi/Flybe debate!
