They then could continue and just take on JJ rated ex VA, whether simply "bolting on" the VA mentality, methodology and rational to Alliance could be the best thing to do or the worst - depends on personal perspective.
Like REX Alliance presently they have an oversupply of experienced pilots to chose from, up to them to decide what/who should work out best for them....and why.

Operationally the culture is sound.I think you’ll find a considerably different ‘mentality’ amongst the pilot group than that in the (ex) Village.
The two I know that have gone over would both be amongst the best operators you’d find.
Alliance could do a lot worse than bolting on some of that.
Like you said,personal perspective..

Could Alliance fly some international routes with E-jets for Virgin Mark 2 ?
If so where to ?
Don't think their F100s can make NZ/Fiji nonstop with a full load, but can the Alliance e-jets ?
Some former Virgin Mark 1 routes like BNE/DUD, NTL/AKL etc. might be perfect for the e-jets.

With the recent tie up of Alliance and Virgin does that mean all the E190 slots will go to ex Virgin E190 pilots? Knowing how mates employ mates does that mean very few Alliance F100 pilots will get a position on the 190??

The E190 would do the majority of the flying under the proposed agreement with Virgin. The E190 has the legs to do BNE-HIR and my guess this route wouldn’t start until around April next year.
Most of the proposed and some of the former wet lease routes were previously operated by the Virgin E190s.
Alliance will be Virgin's Cobham.

Glacial pace, taking their speed cue from the ATSB.

The ACCC is continuing to investigate whether this acquisition is likely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition. Qantas has provided an undertaking not to acquire any further interest in Alliance until the investigation is completed.
