Question for some current Virgin pilots. Waste of time to apply if you don't have 5,000 hours total? I've heard that the PIC time requirement is negotiable but not the total time amount. That sounds totally backwards to me; would think the PIC time would be much more important? Thoughts? Military airlift IP with Approx 3,500 hours, 1500PIC. At this rate I'll be a retired LtCol before I reach 5,000 hours.

If your looking for a job, applying is never a waste of time. At 3500 tt, you are most likely a long shot, to be honest. However, one of the best attractions for an applicant is the fast upgrades. That appears to be probably a thing of the past. Who knows, but looks like more of a 3-4 year plan. Still getting planes, but the bigger the company gets the more planes required to double the size. Double size or attricion (sp) is required for a new hire to upgrade.

About par for a backwards operation. You'd be a better fit for Alaska and we're spooling up for interview boards for spring classes.

I believe that we offer a multiplier for military pilots. I think its .3, somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I see if I can email around and verify this. Either way I would apply. It can't hurt. Good luck and thank you for your service.

I have a friend who told me that his application has been taken "offline". I don't know how he knows that. Maybe he can't log in to update or something. Can you shed some light on this?? Thanks in advance.
