Virgin changed back when the codeshare agreement changed.

In the past it was a "hard share" so CO's seats were owned and inventory was managed by CO (and was often different from what VS was allowing for its own seats).

Now, it's a pure codeshare, and VS's inventory is controlled by VS. So while we're unable to see them online, the end result is better, and VS is much more open with its inventory seats than CO is.
