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.

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.

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

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

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

Zerotohero,

LHS 737?

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

And some commas wouldn't go amiss.

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

....but I'm not.

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.
