Markis10,
I said, "Virgin isn't expanding their jet fleet"... Not Virgin 'hasn't expanded their jet fleet."
The wheel has stopped or perhaps grossly slowed down in Virgin.
They have rebranded.
Painted aircraft.
Changed uniforms.
Bought 330's.
Established a business class.
Focused more on cabin service.
Now, it has to make money and prove it's been worth it before there will be any more significant re-investment. And it'll happen! I'm not saying it won't. But the dudes in the right hand seat better get comfortable.
All the immediate future expansion in Virgin, will be on the ATR fleet and through Tiger. Perhaps LWOP from Virgin to go take up a command at Tiger is an option for current Virgin FO's?
