Virgin Atlantic Master thread volume 2
Hey guys, I have seen Virgin requirements, just wondering if anyone has got in with heavy turboprop time not sure if that counts as the website does say jet, but I did hear a rumour.
Cheers Again |
I know of plenty of guys from the RAF C130 Fleet now flying for Virgin if that answers the question?
|
Dont they look at military time differently though?????

Virgin Atlantic Master thread volume 2
Volume one can be located Here. It has a wealth of information on this company and an inordinate amount of time and effort has been made by scroggs in replying to the many questions posed. As the thread is now becoming something of a weighty tome, and to avoid the risk of losing of any part of it, it is now being continued here.

Virgin Req
Chances getting into Virgin Atlantic with a 757 rating??
Heard Airbus was the prefered.... |
You heard wrong! Harrier is the prefered type after that any fast jet after that any other type.
|
well unless the charters replace their 75's with harriers... then I'm stuffed. :}

Cheers Again Virgin, like most airlines, respects the training and experience of military pilots highly, but being an ex-FJ mate is no passport to a job. Plenty have been rejected... |
I know that it is an unanswerable question Scroggs, but: Do you have any idea when (or even if) recruiting might be starting again?
I know that Virgin are very cautious with regard to over-recruiting in the event of any sort of downturn, but do you think that this is their reasoning this time? |
They've stopped recruiting due to the delays of the A380.
|
Ys, Easy, I am aware that this might be a problem.
However, they weren't recruiting specifically for this aircraft as yet, so I still wonder if their other expansion plans will mean a return to recruiting soon (ish)? |

I would imagine that it won't be on the scale of the past 2 years though.

Virgin Nigeria to Virgin Atlantic
Hi guys,
Slightly off topic.... I've seen (we've all seen them here on pprune) adds for Virgin Nigeria, recruiting for B737 and A340. On a different forum it is being speculated that after joining Virgin Nigeria you would later be able to transfer to Virgin Atlantic. (thought I can see it happening). Any truth to these speculations?, anyone?, Scroggs perhaps..... Best regards, Life boat.:ok: |
As far as I am aware, there is no mechanism that gives Virgin Nigeria pilots a greater chance of employment by Virgin Atlantic than those from any other company, though there may be access to training records etc. which may make things a little easier. I'm not aware of any VK pilots that have made the move to VS - though that doesn't mean it hasn't happened! I have heard that there has been a number of VK FOs that have jumped ship to Far Eastern A340 operators on completion of training, but I can't attest to the truth of this.

Warning: absolute rumour alert!
Chatting to a VS capt in T1 couple of weeks ago and he waunder the impression that the company would be laying off up to 40 pilots. Anyone shed any light? |

thanks scroggs
having recently joined and having heard a lot of these rumours circulating, it nice to hear someone say that it may not always be wise to believe all the rumours |
