We are looking for First Officers holding a current type rating on the Airbus A330 or A340. The successful candidate will need to have a minimum of 3,000 hours total flying time including at least 1,000 hours on either the A330 or A340 types.

You must hold a current UK Class one Medical and a full EASA ATPL licence (UK issue) - a frozen APTL is acceptable.

You should be able to demonstrate a high level of fluency in English (ICAO level 6 English Proficiency). You will also have the unrestricted right to live and work in the UK.

However a pay rise is just around the corner for CX pilots

You'll be mad to go and work at Virgin.

I have a friend there and he's not a happy bunny. He said it used to be good years ago but as with all airlines it seems, the race to the bottom is on.

I guess if you need a UK job it would be ok.

Yea I meant in HK, the Virgin job is directed at young local terms JF/Os etc who aren't hamstrung by seniority better to get out early these days, especially if you'd like to live in your home town one day.

Unless they joined CX with jet time none will meet the requirements yet and won't for at least another year.
