Virgin Now Recruiting Astronaut's
 
This has got to be the ultimate high flying career......

Virgin.com - The global gateway to the Virgin Group

Only downside is you have to be a septic.

"Prior space flight experience is an advantage" - I can fly a parabolic manouver in a C172 - does that count ?.

I bet there is no pay for type rating or pay for hours in this job !!.

A british founded and owned organisation is about to send us to space......only American candidates need apply! :ugh:

Surely VA have a couple of ex-ETPS types in their current ranks who could be put through the appropriate licences? It'd be nice to fly the flag a little here!

Wow,

Have they found a test pilot to fly it then?

Good Luck and just for info where did you leave the insurance policy and your car keys.....:}


Could we use some management pilots as well please:rolleyes:

Didn't they choose some Virgin Pilots a few years ago to fly this? I seem to remember seeing something about it in the flying magazines.

Would that be a septic tank? My advancement to old age has certainly increased my waistline and that I'm no longer sceptical about any career opportunity that might come my way.

So they need Space Cadets?.......Ask CTC, I'm sure Mummy and Daddy will pay! :E

I can feel a new P2F scheme starting up 0 - Astronaut for £1,000,000

They would probably sell enough as well.
