"Yes, that is true cyber bob but the crux of it is in the word 'based'"
Based at LHR yes, but the crux of it is really where you operate from!. As far as I'm aware there are no additional benefits (with VS) from being based at LHR !!
That was an aside, believe the recruitment is to cover Airbus namely A330 and these littles beauties and as far as I'm aware, won't be operating ex - LHR.!

So the recruitment is to cover the 330 at LHR, I thought VS were opening Manchester as a 330 base? Anyone any ideas what the year 1 F/O Jonny 2 stripes gets paid per month i.e. take home? And before some clever dick says 'do a search', I've done plenty and got no up to date information. Cheers

Whether you fly the B747-400, A340 or A330 as things stand at the moment you would be LHR based...
Whether you actually fly from there is another matter!!!
The B747-400 is operated from LHR, LGW, MAN and GLA
The A340-300/600 is operated from LHR
The A330-300 will be (today's plan) from LGW, MAN
As to what new recruits go onto?? well who knows but suspect the A330... so i hope you enjoy MCO as you will see an awful lot of the place in the first year or 2!!!!!
hope that helps

Whether you actually fly from there is another matter!!! - SO TRUE!
The B747-400 is operated from LHR, LGW, MAN and GLA - TRUE
The A340-300/600 is operated from LHR - TRUE
The A330-300 will be (today's plan) from LGW, MAN - TRUE + GLA (OR WAS THAT YESTERDAY'S PLAN?)

Why would you want to know the redundancy policy?
They're hiring, not firing.
Essentially though, it's LIFO with various other measures, performance, sickness, disciplinary etc. thrown in to make it legally compliant.
Last voluntary redundees walked away with £40k plus for only 2 years service.

Are the A330s basically filler for the absent/delayed 787s? What is the latest estimate for the 787s to arrive (plus a few more years)?
Also, curious as to the neg statement about MCO. I assume the A330s will replace the 744s on those flights. Is it the monotony of that flying that is the point here? How is different from other trans Atlantic flying? I would think MCO beats a cold and dank Winter day in MAN - right? Although the summers would be bloody hot. Please share your thoughts about that type of flying.
