When flying a Delta online event, is everybody at the same flight level? If so, where in the event briefing is the FL given please.

You tend to be at the same flight level as others but there are groups above and below as well.

In the briefing, usually under the flight route just before the dashed line above NOTAMS.

E.g. For 'The Other Los Angeles' event. The details are

Flight Number: DVA (SKW) 4721 Leg 1
KSLC - KLGB
Distance: 5891nm
Departure Time (Zulu): 0000
Est Arrival Time (Zulu): 0154
Flight Route: EDETH1 BERYL BLD HEC KAYOH4
Planned Altitude: Westbound RVSM

In this case altitudes used obey westbound RVSM rules so FL300, FL320, etc.
