I've had an alert in my email for every job opening at VX in the last few months to the point that it feels like spamming. I guess we know that AK is in charge because I had to come on here to find out about the pilot window being open lol

I expected them to send me an email; as I explained I'm subscribed to their jobs page and get an automatic email every time they have a new job opening.

Seems like the pilot hiring window closed very quickly. Any speculation to when it will open again?

Just curious if anyone who spoke with VX at NGPA this year has received a call?

First year pay and QOL?

I was wondering if any current Virgin FO's would be willing to share what can be expected as realistic first year pay and QOL?

Your W2 will be around $45k-$50k depending on how much you're used and how long you're on reserve. QOL depends very much on whether you're on reserve or not. Some have gotten a line after 3 months, others after a year and a half. Depends on what part of the hiring wave you are hiring during. QOL also depends on your commute. Live in base? you'll be in heaven. Commuting will be rough on reserve but then as a line holder, much better

New contract hopefully this year, but that's a realistic look at current work rules/pay.
