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.
We want to extend a huge congratulations to Jay for his promotion to Chief Pilot and we want to extend a huge thank you to Jay Marin for being willing to oversee the DC-6 program as Chief Pilot.

Thank you DVA for the opportunity. Working next to Joe for the last few years has been an awesome experience. I know I have big shoes to fill but knowing the willingness of the DVA members in helping all of us, it will be a challenging but easy transition. Again, thank you everyone. Thank you Joe!
