Meet Jas, one of Virgin Atlantic's Boeing 787 Senior First officers 👨✈️ Beyond his role of taking customers and crew safely to their next destination he puts time and effort into mentoring and volunteering. After receiving a’ Points of Light’ award from the Prime Minister in 2021 recognising his contributions and commitment to giving back to the community it’s easy to see why he was nominated for a Red Spirit award. We’re proud to recognise the immense contributions of individuals like Jas inspiring positive change and philanthropy.

3dWow, Jas is an exceptional individual—truly an inspiration! 👨✈️ His dedication to mentorship and philanthropy serves as a powerful reminder of what true leadership embodies. It’s fantastic to see Virgin Atlantic highlighting such impactful stories. However, if inclusivity truly lies at the core of Virgin Atlantic’s values, it’s crucial that this commitment extends beyond celebrating individual achievements. Let’s also take a closer look at the composition of the leadership team and board. How diverse and representative are those who are driving the company’s future decisions? While championing inclusivity on the frontlines is commendable, real transformation occurs when diversity is reflected at the top levels of leadership. Listening to the story of Jas, one might think about how inclusive Virgin truly is. But, let’s ask the important question: If a steward wants to wear a skirt as part of their uniform, is that truly supported? Can self-expression and authenticity thrive at every level, or are there limits to how inclusive Virgin really is? Virgin, it’s time to walk the talk. Diversity and inclusion should not just be buzzwords—they should be reflected in every aspect of your organization.
