And now according to the investor call, they are not going to take all 10 A321NEOs for Virgin and currently working on it with the lessor. As the Alaska guy above said, their idea of growth is seats and not necessarily airframes. This year the primary growth vehicle is the EJet just by sheer numbers alone.
I have to echo OCCP. If you're brand new not on the list yet, why come here? If you want SEA or ANC try Delta or FedEx/UPS. PDX is about the only unique base. And all 3 legacies have an LAX base that is starting to actually go junior. I've been at VX for 5 years now and if AA/DL/UA call and successful interview, I'm gone. A little while ago I would not have made that statement but today it's a different story.

They're stuck in an old mindset and are about 15 years behind the real legacies.
The real question is who would want to work for Virgin. When you work for and don't leave one of the lowest paid Airlines in the industry you can't really **** on people for wanting to work for Alaska. Also for no growth we sure are hiring a lot.
