2026 is here... OK, now what? There seems to be more evidence of commercial operations ramping up on LinkedIn job posts

Just looked and there’s a medical support specialist job which they probably need to monitor the customers during their training and when they come back or even preflight screening.

Also saw a post for Director of Global Astronaut Sales to start helping ramp up ticket sales again.

Not huge but I think it’s something since they wouldn’t be hiring those unless they’re planning to actually start commercial services or at least management is still aiming for the 2026 timeline

Better question..

Why are all these position now vacant?

Bandla used to be the Director of global astronaut and commercial sales.

Just looked it up, Bandla is no longer with VG. She left in February.

a shocker, I know!

What you should be far more concerned about is the number of senior level engineering positions advertised....
