Virgin recruiting soon...

[Eau de Boeing]

Yes.

Airbus rated and current although flown Boeing in the past.
Have been in the pool for longer than I can remember and finally an email after October's interest to say they want 787 rated guys only for the foreseeable future.

[A320baby]

I got the same

[MichaelOLearyGenius]

Where they going to 787 rated pilots? Norwegian?

[The African Dude]

Ok yep. Same email today. Thanks and good luck to all for the next attempt, whenever that may be!

[Lazydogg]

POST 783: Yes. Nearly every 787 FO in Norwegian would have done some part of their initial line training with Virgin Atlantic captains that were on secondment in Norwegian. They were there to gain experience on the 787 and also offer their long haul experience to a then brand new long haul airline. There was a training agreement between the two airlines back in 2013/2014. The Norwegian 787 FOs and CCs will be a known quantity among a lot of Virgin trainers. With the exception of a few from the Middle East I would say the majority will be hopping across from Norwegian.

A lot of phone calls to Norwegian pilots from Janine
yesterday. I suspect not just wishing them 'Happy Christmas'

A few to BA Pilots too!

[prisoner24601]

What about 777 rated? Has anyone heard?

[Bigbus330]

Might be an opportunity for a quick upgrade for experienced, B787 type-rated VS effo's at Norwegian then?

[Manual Reversion]

Can't think of a reason why anyone would want to leave VS for Norwegian, despite the pilots and cabin crew being a fantastic bunch

[Mr Angry from Purley]

G-VOWS B787 delivery today by looks of it

[zerotohero]

Currently left seat of a 737 and I am going on to there 747-400 fleet next year out of there manchester base.

Sadly only as a pax to Orlando with the family (I say sadly can't wait)

I did most of the work to apply to VS this time around after a couple of PFO's in the past then thought you know what sod it there only going to take rated guys.

Glad I saved some effort at least.

Never mind I have other dreams coming true

[A320baby]

On a better note, Merry Christmas Virgin hopefuls

[nick14]

787 rated recruitment open again. I guess they didn't get enough last round.

[Flap62]

Zerotohero,

LHS 737?

There/their. See if you can work it out.

And some commas wouldn't go amiss.

[zerotohero]

Flap62

I am not that good at grammar.

I am better at pointing out mistakes...........,,,,,, o wait that's you!

[Nil further]

Flaps 62. Maybe he /she has english as a second language ?

How is your punctuation in Cantonese ?

If I was petty I might point out that a sentence shouldn't start with "And".

....but I'm not.

[RexBanner]

That's taught at school Busbo but it's completely gramatically unjustifiable. In much the same way that once you start a degree in physics the very first thing you'll be told is that everything you have learned up until that point is incorrect.

[Cliff Secord]

Is this conversation actually taking place?
