Hello to all, I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The title says it all. We would like DVA to implement all of Air France codeshare partners this would mean more routes, more fun and more fun... There is a lot of pilots that I know who would like to join DVA but hesitate to do sow because of the lack of routes in the Balkans, precisely Bosnia, Serbia,Croatia. Air France has codeshare partners that fly in and out of these country's.

Air France Codeshare Partners:
Air Berlin, Air Corsica, Air Madagascar, Air Mauritius, Air Seychelles, Air Tahiti Nui, Air Baltic, Aircalin, Austrian Airlines, Azerbaijan Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Bulgaria Air, Chalair Aviation, Cyprus Airways, Estonian Air, Etihad Airways, Finnair Flybe, Georgian Airways, Japan Airlines, Jat Airways (Serbian Airline that fly's in and out of Bosnia and Croatia), Jet Airways, Luxair,
Middle East Airlines, Rossiya, Royal Air Maroc, TAAG Angola Airlines, Ukraine International Airlines.

I hope it will be possible to implement these airlines and I would be more than happy to help in any way I can.

Thank you

Marko Mirkovic

If your friends and you are looking for more routes in Europe, why not just join Air France? Transfer between the airlines is pretty easy and all your hours and stuff get moved over. Then you can fly Air France routes along with all their codeshares, plus codeshare routes with Delta, and then neither airline has to change its ways.

DVA follows a real world model in attempts to make the virtual airline as close to 100% realistic as possible to the real Delta Airlines. To implement routes with codeshares that the real world Delta doesn't actually fly would be against this purpose. Therefore I'd be doubtful, nor would I personally encourage, DVA to add codeshare routes with other airlines unless the real-world Delta does it first.

That's a good idea, but if I transfer will I have to do all of the check rides all over again or do they get transferred as well?
Can you confirm that Air France has Delta codeshare routes?
And how do I transfer?

Thanks

It is my understanding they are separate by design. DVA has Delta code shares and AFV has Air France code shares.

Air France is a separate virtual airline so you will be starting at the bottom, so to speak. If you are interested in transferring create a help desk ticket.

I'm not sure if your ratings are supposed to transfer, but I'm 100% sure your hours and legs don't. AFVA does have Delta flights, just not all as they are just codeshares with the RW Delta.

Page 45 of the Pilot's Manual ... I probably should have just checked there in the first place. smile
