Good evening all, On behalf of your Delta Virtual Airlines Operations team I am pleased to announce that Senior Captain David Vega is appointed as Assistant Director Of Operations here at DVA. David as many of you has been active with Delta Virtual Airlines for over twenty years. Joining DVA in December of 2001, David has seen many changes within DVA. He has obtained many accomplishments and was recently nominated and promoted to the rank of Senior Captain this year. Over the years David has been very instrumental in assisting our member pilots with a variety of flight simulation topics and issues they faced, and David even contributed many long hard working hours into creating airport scenery files for missing airports in the simulator platforms. Senior Captain David Vega has been a tremendous help and support within the DVA community, and there is not one member pilot who has not benefitted from his service to the DVA community. We are happy and excited to have David on board with the DVA operations team to help move the DVA mission and vision forward. - DVA Operations team, Joe Burner; Vice President of Operations Chris Frasure; Assistant Director of Operations Andres Honegger; Assistant Director of Operations Kevin Lundy; Assistant Director of Operations

Good afternoon All, On behalf of your entire Delta Virtual Airlines Operations Team, I am pleased to announce that we have a new equipment type program here at Delta Virtual Airlines. The A350-900 equipment program. As the real world Delta Air Lines has made new and exciting changes to their equipment fleet, we are also making changes to our virtual airline equipment programs. This was a project that was a topic of discussion a couple of years ago and was a great suggestion from one of our member pilots who gave operations the idea for the implementation of some new equipment programs. Many hours of research has gone into this A350 project. Today we are pleased to announce the A350-900 program is now an official operational equipment program here at Delta Virtual Airlines, with yours truly (Joe Burner) stepping up to oversee the daily operations of the A350 program as Chief Pilot. The rating for the A350 are as follows: Primary: A350-900 Secondary: A350-1000 We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this project to include, Our President Terry Eshenour for his awesome work on the AOM formatting, Assistant Chief Pilot Pablo Fraga for the needed information and technical specifications for the A350 fleet, Chief Pilot Ken Webber for providing some insights and a possible sim aircraft to be utilized for the A350 program. We are excited to see this new equipment program grow in the coming years. Should you have any questions about this program please reach out to ops@deltava.org or ChiefPilotA350@DeltaVA.org Taking over the reigns for the DC-6 program is Jay Marin. Jay has been a huge help in overseeing the DC-6 program as Assistant Chief Pilot and no doubt he will make the DC-6 program one of the great historical programs here at Delta Virtual Airlines.

Soonho in his time since joining DVA back in 2013 has amassed 3,271 flights with DVA, 2,885 of those were flown online. He served in various roles here at Delta Virtual Airlines. He served as Assistant Chief Pilot in the 757 program, and helped the 757 program excel further, he then later was appointed as Assistant Director of Operations where he was a tremendous help in moving DVA's mission and vision forward. He also oversaw the DVA dispatch program as Director of Dispatch. He has earned every rating DVA has to offer and has obtained numerous accomplishments. Soonho's service and dedication to Delta Virtual Airlines will be remembered for many years to come. We are extremely thankful for Soonho Lee's dedicated service to DVA and we wish him well in his future endeavors. Another staffing change which has happened is Assistant Chief Pilot Yisrael Wealcatch is stepping down from Assistant Chief Pilot in the DC-8-61 equipment program. Yisrael in his years of service since being hired on with staff in 2016 has helped move the DC-8 program forward.

03/28/2022	New Stage 1 Equipment Program - ERJ-170	Joe Burner
Good afternoon All, On behalf of your entire Delta Virtual Airlines Operations Team, I am pleased to announce that we have a new equipment type program here at Delta Virtual Airlines. The ERJ-170 equipment program. Many of you all probably remember a few years ago this project dubbed the ERJ-170 project was started by Chief Pilot Andrew Vane when he was serving as Vice President of Operations. Andrew put the ground work into getting this program started for us to add to our list of programs. Sadly this project was put on the back burner for a few years until Andrew stepped down from VP of Operations, and then Kevin Lundy stepped in as VP of operations. Sadly due to time constraints and other issues taking priority Kevin wasn’t able to finish what Andrew started. Today we are happy to announce this program is now an operational equipment program here at Delta Virtual Airlines, with Matthew Whitaker who is stepping up to oversee the program as Chief Pilot. We are excited to have Chief Pilot Matthew Whitaker take the reigns of this new equipment program. We know he will do an excellent job in overseeing the daily operations of this new program. We want to extend a huge thank you to Andrew Vane and Kevin Lundy for their time and energy spent on this project as well as others who worked many long hours on this project, to include AD of Operations Chris Frasure, and AD of Operations Andres Honegger, this program would not be here today if it weren’t for these awesome staff members. We also want to extend an even bigger thank you to Matthew Whitaker for being willing to serve as the Chief Pilot in the new ERJ-170 equipment program. We are excited to see this new equipment program grow in the coming years. Should you have any questions about this program please reach out to ops@deltava.org or Matthew_Whitaker@DeltaVA.org Joe Burner; Vice President of Operations Soonho Lee; Assistant Director of Operations Chris Frasure; Assistant Director of Operations Andres Honegger; Assistant Director of Operations Kevin Lundy; Assistant Director of Operations
