Atlas12 I am afraid the harsh reality is that despite having financial backing as you say, Virgin are still in the red, as are Qantas. Both Airlines have had an aggressive capacity war. They seem to have brokered a peace and being sensible about it all now. This will mean a reduction in flying. Hence pilot numbers will be pretty steady. Natural attrition retirement etc will see a few positions come up.
Virgin would have to be the best Airline I can think of to work for as far as T&C's and Australia the best place to live so I can't imagine too many pilots leaving for overseas gigs.
Hang in there, easy to say I know.
