Virgin Atlantic are not recruiting, and will not be until the 160+ redundant pilots have been given the opportunity to be re-employed. At a conservative guess, I would suggest that you'll need to wait at least 2 years before Virgin would even invite CVs to peruse. So, I hope you have other sources of income..... .Should you be able to wait that long, Virgin's requirements are, roughly, 3000 hours TT, the majority of which should be on heavy metal of some sort (fast jets count), a current ATPL/IR (not frozen), and some recommendations from peeps already in the airline.. .There are no aptitude tests - with the level of experience required, they are somewhat irrelevant - but there is a simulator assessment. This was on the 747-200, but I would expect it to be on glass in the future, and glass experience may be a stipulation as well. There are a number of exams of varying degrees of seriousness, and an interview.. .The sim, interview, and personal recommendations are the important bits. However, as I say, don't hold your breath.
