Would you recruit, you? NCA etc. are likely to look at your profile as part of their recruitment process.

"I have not heard anything either, hopefully whatever the outcome they let people know, I guess with BA recruitment drive they are not in any rush."

Not sure how many will jump ship from VAA to BA? I would think the main loosers will be EZ J2 and the other couple of charter outfits.
Expect a surge from the middle east to BA. However for £54000 basic , £12000 allowances n a bit of other stuff so £70000.
After tax £4000/ month .
Its a lifestyle airline but on that money , for the tax free brigade, its a severe pay cut .

Would people leave VS for BA? I can understand the long term job security maybe perceived to be better with BA, but other than that I'd be suprised. Any VS people I've come across seem pretty happy with their lot. Suppose if you're fed up with long haul..

History would suggest no, they won't.
In fact, in the last 12yrs I'm aware of one person that left to BA and of several who have come in the other direction.

Just a point of correction if I may: £70k basic (incl salaried 750 flying hours) plus allowances of approx USD12k pa. Approx £4300 a month, before pension, plus allowances. You'd be surprised at quite how many people are looking to leave the Middle East...

How many times are you counting allowances?:}
Pretty sure BA aren't a 750hr salaried airline either?

:E Completely misread the post.... Thought he'd said VS. I'll cut along and fetch my coat 😂

No worries. Just glad it wasn't me for a change :)

Anyone have any idea how many pilots Virgin Atlantic are actually looking for?

I heard up to 30 but it was just hearsay.

Mainly Voyger guys, all busting to leave the services and fly to serve ... To serve Sir Dickie :}

Interviewing 787 guys this week.... Apparently

No idea mate. I'm not VS but a friend was at their HQ a few days ago. Don't think the hold pool have heard anything since October either. I'd say in the new red dawn, the type rating is king.

Can confirm what Thad Jarvis says about the Hold Pool. Was told in October that I'll be re-interviewed for courses starting in Feb/March. Nothing since. Type rating appears to be king indeed. Oh well, BA gave me date :p

Does anyone think we will hear anything this side for Christmas?

I think they will have had plenty of rated NLH guys to interview so I don't think there is much hope for us.

Ah, I applied as a rated 330 guy
