Hello all,

I'm after some info on the general state of affairs in VS at the moment. I've been offered an interview but, if successful, would be giving up a lot of seniority in another outfit. With the current status quo in the aviation industry and the looming threat of Gulf War II, I'm fairly reticent about any immediate move without some more info.

I know there has been a lot of bad press about the way the 9/11 situation was handled, but have things been sorted out & calmed down?

What are the expansion plans, if any, for VS?

Pension? Am I right in thinking it's a money purchase scheme, not a final salary scheme?

Any idea what a first-year F/O's salary is, or what they might take home at the end of the month?

Do VS apply training bonds?

Any info or advice would be great.

Thanks.
