Last week i noticed that on the application overview at virgin jobs... the status was: ...closing...
(While 787 current status is: open.
In other words, they indicated at least 5 days in advance that it was about to close...
Take into account that there are subtantial pilots (eg easyjet) with 320
Ratings... so they prob received an overload on cv's. And therefore closed it so soon.

I do feel sorry for the Monarch guys but I don't remember anyone offering me any breaks when I was made redundant from GSS, especially not Monarch!

For all the guys upset about ex Monarch pilots having "jumped the queue" as far as I am aware they are just getting their applications fast tracked because they have no notice period. They are not being guarentee'd jobs you may or may not feel entitled to.
Infact having spoken to a few of my mates from Monarch they would gladly swap someone's secure A320 job for their supposed "enhanced" recruitment opportunities.

VS Part Time
Chaps,
As one of the oh-so-lucky ex Monarch pilots to have woken up 3 weeks ago without a job I am very grateful for the support from across our industry. Most fellow pilots have been incredibly sympathetic and supportive.
I have some questions on part time roster with VS -
What part time options are on offer?
Do any of the options give the ability to live remotely and work, say, for the first or last 2 weeks of a period and guarantee longer periods off between trips?
Many thanks for the continuing support guys.

Part time is 85/75/50% which is 23 on 7 off, or 20 on 10 off, or 16 on 14 off respectively but the 50% might be 15/15 but not sure.
There is a large waiting list at the mo running into several years so don't hold your breath!
All the best

There are various part time offerings in place, each with their different advantages and disadvantages. But rest assured that there'll be plenty of time to look into them all and consider your options way before you get the offer of part time :-)
Having said that, lots of people already on part time do live abroad and commute, in a similar way to that which you're suggesting.
I'm glad that you've found a job....we're all sympathetic to your situation, as it can happen to any of us, at any time.
Good luck!

Another BA vs Virgin thing to bear in mind is the viability of the business. I've heard VS are on track for another loss this year. How long till DL just take the LHR slots and be done with the rest? The AFKL share purchase effectively takes control away from Branson.

Start your own about why BA is so much better if that's what you want to discuss.

The virgin brand is actually one that seems to be liked in the US, so I'd hazard that the joint venture would work on making virgin more efficient and working into profitability rather than just grabbing slots.

No reason not to think that Delta are happy to loss-lead VS to ensure the rest of the operation remains profitable. I thought this was one benefit of codeshare and partnerships? Without VS, Delta would be short the clients who prefer the VS brand to Delta.
