Looks like the program worked well for those who got selected, and then performed to program standards. From TIFs/SPLs to FO on widebodies in about five years on circa $ 150K to $ 200K.
How long would it take to be an A330FO at Virgin ? 8 years you might think , then add the ten years GA/Regional prior to the job. Only trickle feed to VARA anyways
Think A330 at QF would be around 15 years , but then again they aren't hiring
