As part of the filing for the funds, they had to specify the hourly wages of trainees 90 days or more after completing training.
In documents that Virgin America filed with the state of California, the hourly wage of pilots after being fully qualified will fall in the range of:
$41.00 per hour starting to $126.00 per hour maximum. (With a note that says most employees will start at the minimum wage).
