Virgin pilots fly A320s for RJ wages.

You're a tool and a troll. It definitely appears that they didn't ever consider you since you write the sane thing in every VX thread.

They stopped the deliveries to put money back into the unrestricted cash pot. It's the UAL guys taking the recall. I think about 20+ on property.

They hardly need new aircraft since both sides of the SFO Int'l terminal look like a VX Airbus parking lot. Never less than one, usual three Airbii parked on either side, at all times of the day.

How does the lease on an A320 run every month? Expensive a/c to having sitting on the ramp, not making money.
