Virgin Galactic job application looking to hire pilots for spaceflight - Business Insider

Sir Richard Branson's space company, Virgin Galactic, recently posted a job listing for two pilots to join its commercial spaceflight team.

The ambitious endeavor aims to eventually open up space for tourist travel, with seats on the Virgin-branded spaceship costing around $250,000. But while the passengers in the back will be paying through the nose for the opportunity, pilots with the "right stuff" will be getting paid to chart a new course.

Virgin Galactic doesn't specify what kind of degrees will suffice but fields related to aviation typically include engineering disciplines. Some commercial airlines also require either an associate or bachelor's degree for their pilots.

The 3,000-hour mark is a typical requirement for pilots applying to most major airlines. Depending on the pilot, it can sometimes take years to fly that many hours, which is why it's a good indicator of experience.Virgin Galactic

אני בכל אופן לא מסכים

angelcontreras oswyman ustedes que tienen experiencia en papalotes y drones de isla de centro comercial apliquen! Creo que dan vales de gasolina y prestaciones arriba de ley.

I cant fly but I'd happily go along for the journey to keep the pilot company. I can help press some buttons and even read dials and stuff. Offer stands if you change your mind.

If the plane is going to space, wouldn't they be astronauts?
