I've typed DELTA in my browser and this address popped up: http://www.thedeltavirtualairlines.com
I didn't know this place yet. I would like to know whether some problem may arise with equal callsigns flying in VATSIM.
I think it's rather weird to exist another Delta VA around when we already have our good DeltaVA.org.

Ignore. They are not us - and there's no reason to be concerned.

They tend to use the "DVAxxxx" callsign. Every so often this pops up as confusion here because our ID here starts with DVA, and our pilots sometimes fly with the DVA callsign on VATSIM instead of DAL.

Like Kevin said, anybody can ultimately use any callsign.
(By the way, congrats on the ACP position Kevin!)

there are a few delta va's out there but remember if you use the DVA callsign be prepared to not be called delta but discovery.... like people have said before delta's 3letter code is DAL not DVA, DVA stands for discovery!!
