To the Virgin Atlantic (est. 1984) and Virgin Australia (est. 1999) guys, what would you say? It wouldn't have been unreasonable for someone to hope for a long and healthy career under the Virgin brand. Remind me to consult you for my next career decision, Joe, since you seem to have some clairvoyance about an industry that seems highly unpredictable.

You have some say in who represents you... so that's something. Something > nothing

This seems overly callous. If Virgin was the first airline for all of its pilots, maybe you'd be right. But it ain't. Lots of them have slugged through the industry for many years and finally found a port that offered some semblance of stability, even if only for 11 years.

This has been my $0.02 from a outsider's perspective. How this ends up will be interesting though, especially with the Alaska/Hawaiian merger on the horizon
