Virgin seeking Astronaut-Pilots

That seems like a VERY narrow market they're trying to reach... and rightly so. If you're not Chuck Norris, you need not apply.
 
TPS guy leaves the Navy/AF, stays in the reserves flying TACAIR and goes to work for the airlines. He gets furloughed, becomes disillusioned flying the line or retires early before his airline goes bankrupt on him, again. There is your prime candidate. There are more of them then you may think.

Wonder what the $$$ looks like. You gotta assume it's going to be well worth it, even if you are still active.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Considering that 'space tourism' isn't exactly cheap I have to wonder how much money is being thrown around. I know that it's not going to be cheap for Virgin, or their customers, but I am very curious about what they are going to be paying their operators.
