| 12/03/2024 | Delta Virtual Airlines Welcomes Paul Barnhill as A350-900 Assistant Chief Pilot | Joe Burner |
 Delta Virtual Airlines is delighted to announce Paul Barnhill as the new Assistant Chief Pilot for the A350-900 fleet. Paul’s history with DVA, extensive flight simulation experience, and dedication to enhancing the pilot community make him a perfect fit for this leadership role. Paul joined DVA in 2007 while completing his undergraduate studies and has since built an impressive record across multiple fleet programs. He became part of the A350 program in 2022, bringing with him years of experience flying the FlightFactor A350 in X-Plane 11. While he recently returned to more regular flying due to increased flexibility in his professional life as an attorney in the Atlanta area, his passion for aviation and commitment to DVA have never waned. As Assistant Chief Pilot, Paul will focus on fleet development, supporting pilot operations, and contributing to the overall improvement of the A350 program. Among his priorities is updating the Aircraft Operating Manual (AOM) to include more accurate and consistent fuel burn rates for the A350, drawing on his prior research and experience. Paul’s extensive experience with DVA’s operations, spanning multiple fleets such as the MD-88, 727, 757, 767, DC-8, and MD-11, reflects his deep understanding of our virtual airline’s standards and procedures. Though primarily an X-Plane pilot, Paul is enthusiastic about expanding his expertise to other platforms, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, to better support the entire fleet. Please join us in congratulating Paul Barnhill on his new role and welcoming him to the A350-900 staff team. His vision, expertise, and enthusiasm will undoubtedly elevate the program and enrich the experience for all A350 pilots. Welcome aboard, Paul! |
