Question for some current Virgin pilots. Waste of time to apply if you don't have 5,000 hours total? I've heard that the PIC time requirement is negotiable but not the total time amount. That sounds totally backwards to me; would think the PIC time would be much more important? Thoughts? Military airlift IP with Approx 3,500 hours, 1500PIC. At this rate I'll be a retired LtCol before I reach 5,000 hours.
