Worth noting any aspiring Virgin pilot applicants.
At present many problems with VS crewing. Ongoing non resolved Industrial Action by some Virgin pilots, are causing day to day crew shortages, and continual rostering disruption. BALPA members supporting a viable operation at the moment preventing further losses to the Brand, or Delta losing interest.
On the Airbus fleet last minute roster changes, days off disruption, some even contacted en route to work or on arrival, makes for a consequential less than stress free flight deck atmosphere.
Multiple consecutive two pilot Atlantic nightstops, exacerbated by lack of dual qualified crew on A330/340, leading to fatigue and high short-term sickness, hence crew shortage.
Apparently there is very little support from Flight Crew Management,who are largely uncontactable.
