So are virgin seriously planning to put cadets into the right hand seat or will they be sent elsewhere to fain experience?
Ryanair are appearing at the Flyer exhibition for the first time soon as well. Almost certainly just a coincidence but, 2/3 years at FR then a guaranteed slot at VS as and when they're available?
I don't see the point of cruise pilots, it's not like they have a large number of ultra-long haul routes a la Cathay Pacific. There can't be that many routes requiring 3 pilots. Just LAX, SFO, LAS, JNB, HKG, PVG? Maybe a couple more but certainly not a lot.
