| 11/11/2023 | TFDi MD-11 and DVA | Chris Frasure |
| DVA Pilots, Being a fellow MD-11 driver (and past CP of the program) I understand, with the newly released TFDi MD-11, your interest in obtaining the rating. Since the add on is not for public sale as of yet, we don’t have the ability to integrate the add-on for check-ride use at this time. Once the airframe is released for public sale and we are able to view better real time flight dynamics, we will certainly do our best to make it check-ride ready ASAP. More to follow. Thanks for your understanding and patience, Chris VP, Operations |

| 10/13/2023 | Introducing the DVA Virtual Medallion Club! | Chris Frasure |
| Delta Virtual Airlines is happy to introduce a brand new reward program for our pilots; The Virtual Medallion Club! This new program will mimic real world Delta Airline operations and will reward pilots based on their flying statistics. The program is dynamic and reward levels will change year to year based on the activity of a pilot as compared to their peers over the same calendar year. So, while one year you might earn the top tier with a certain number of flight hours or legs, the next you might fall to a lower tier as you are continually compared to the statistics of other pilots. Rewards come in the form of badges that will appear next to your name in various places on the website, including the water cooler and ACARS. Current reward levels are as follows: Diamond - 95th percentile Platinum - 90th percentile Gold - 80th percentile Silver - 60th percentile So, as you can see by the percentile rankings, in order for you to earn the top honor (Diamond status) you would need to have flown a number of legs and/or hours more or equal to 95% of all pilots. Thus, the more you fly, the better the upgrade you can earn! Delta’s real world medallion schedule rolls on a 13 month calendar system and it can be a bit confusing. This means that your status for the current year was earned from the previous year’s flights. For example, if in 2022 you flew enough flights (from January 1 to December 31) to earn Diamond status, you would maintain this status from the date you qualified through the end of January 2024. So, in order for us to implement this reward system at DVA, your default first award level will be based on your 2022 flights. Once implemented and flights continue, your status will change yearly on 2/1. Beyond the specifics, all you need to do is enjoy flying and you will be rewarded. We hope you are as excited for this new adventure as we are to provide it to you! Reach out to me or any other senior staff member with any questions. -Chris Frasure VP, Operations. |
