Easy,

If I were you I would look elsewhere. The expected time to command is 10-12 years notwithstanding any more market downturns, this equates to @37 extra aircraft.......

The Fun has gone, morale is rock bottom & the salary is among the worst worldwide for Long-Haul operations.

As for the 2 crew Florida's, I was affected by this: the limits are 9 in 6 months, I was called out for an extra MIA & was told that it was my 9th, it was in fact my 10th but one had "got lost" in the system!!!!!! Before I left crewing was groaning at the seams, lots of crew on Unapid Leave aren't going back at the moment even though the company are asking them to return.

I joined Virgin for a career, this is now not a reason to join as experience has shown that when the chips are down you are very expendable.....

There are worse companies out there.. but there are also a lot better.
