As for the pay, I dont really know how much the pilots will make; i based my opinion on what others have been saying. I apologize, i should have done my homework before bashing VA.

I'm sure this investment group went to Sir Dick and asked to use the Virgin brand name. give me a break. Sir Dick was talking about running an airline in the US years ago and was bitter that he couldn't be the major player. I've seen him on TV talking about this and that he wants the USA to change their laws to allow it. I was talking to someone who was hired there and he said that in the interview he was told that they wanted to tie virgin atlantic, blue, and america all together.

Who ever said that you can't speculate on what the pay will be, please name one startup airline that paid the same as the majors. He will pay less and as the owner of men's warehouse says "I guarantee it"
