Virgin A330s do not have secondary 'cruise' type pilots, indeed none of their fleets do. If ever it goes above 8 hours then you just get another co pilot. Cathay are pretty much the only airline left that have cruise first officers anymore as they are so limited in what they can do.

Fair enough, but aren't the majority of flights over 8 hours for VA? Do we know if hours are counted for flights where you are the third pilot?
