I would imagine that's pretty competitive. But as long as one has the mins of an ATP, 2,500 hrs total and 1000 turbine (SIC or PIC) then apply.
Also if Virgin is interested in Part 135 captains at all?

I'd plan on at least a year for reserve in SFO. Reserve could be easy if you live in base because you rarely fly. It's quite common to go 3 weeks without flying. If you commute to reserve it's going to suck because you will rot away in a crashpad. I think the SFO guys may fly more than other base reserves. Movement is nonexistent.
It's not a bad job at the end of the day but don't come here expecting a lot of movement and growth or upgrade.

Got the email for the online test right as I updated my app in the window. Is that automatic now or have I been "chosen?" I'll finish up the test when I am back home with reliable internet. I'm flying the 320 overseas and life in CA or back in my old stomping grounds around NY looks pretty darn nice from here! Good luck everyone.
