Hi folks

Now NWA is together with DAL, and the NWA 747's getting delta colours, i was wondering if there will be a 747 program in DVA. Just thinking . . .

Cheers!

As Robert said, Air France Virtual has as a stage 4, the 747 (stage 3 A330/340, stage 2 a320 and stage 1 F100) and Air France virtual has a stage 5 (concorde), DVA doen't have a Stage 5, for the concord is just an additional rating, but I dont know if DVA wants to add the 747 as another Stage 4's program or stage 5.
Hope this helps.

Currently AFV has a 744 program and DVA does not. This is not to say that we won't have one in the future though...

i for one thinks DVA should create programs for all the NWA aircraft, at least the same type such as A319/320 A330, DC-9 is the only one that i could see being stuch with the MD-88 program.

I think Delta will make the new programs.. But that will mean if they do they will have to revise A LOT of documents and members will likely get messed up in the process.... Also I really really hope DAL leases their A3XXs to some other airline..

Yep, according to the new contract, 744 and T7 captains/FOs are on the same scale. Also, the 787 is ahead of the A330 and 764 but behind the 744/T7. The question is actually up in teh air at the moment on weather DL will even take delivery of the 787 in the near future.

I would love to see a 747 program here at DVA. Main reason I changed over to the 777 program was for the 747. But the MD-11 looks like it might be a fun new challenge in the near future as well.
