Virgin Atlantic TwinJet?
There's been a Virgin Atlantic liveried TWIN - I think it's an A320-ish rather than a A330, but I've never got a good look at it - parked on the S. side of Montreal's Trudeau airport at one of the bizjet facilities since the Grand Prix a couple of weeks ago. (It was surrounded by a small horde of (mianly) GIVs and GVs for a while, but they've all gone now).
Anyone got any idea what it's doing there - and if its really a single-aisle Airbus, how come? I thought Virgin only used A340s and B747s.
(The winglets seem to have small US flags on them, rather than the Union Jacks I thought Virgin routinely used, or the "flying lady")

Virgin Nigeria also using 320-series and Virgin Blue & Virgin Pacific using 738s.
Also VS ran services to Greece a few years ago using a 320 or 321 painted a ghastly yellow ('Virgin Sun' titles or some such).

They are waiting on approval from the FAA to start the operation; hense why it's sitting in Canada. From what I have heard, the pay is horrible and will do nothing but further hurt the horrid state of commercial aviation in the USA.

Went to their website. No data. No listing of pilot job opennings.
"From what I've heard" is based on what???
