I am a little unclear on this. Does this mean No Online ACARS flights will be accepted for any Boeing airframes, which means all Boeing programs are being shut down. A little more clarification will be helpful. Thanks.

With PMDG constantly changing their SDK Architecture and increasingly making it harder for our technology department to keep up. The senior management has decided to close down all of the Boeing Programs for unforeseen future. I was notified by the President, Joe Burner, that my last day as the Assistant Chief Pilot will be April 15, 2023, and that I must return the aircraft, N870DN, back to the hangar by then. It was an honour serving as the B737-800 Program Assistant Chief Pilot for Delta Virtual Airlines, and it was great meeting and getting to know you all.

Now is the time to get your Airbus type ratings! Get at the front of the line on your checkrides so you can get back to flying as soon as possible. Bye bye, Boeing!

Cleon,

This was an April fools joke. We are not getting rid of our Boeing fleet. Boeing has been a major portion of real world Delta Ops. I will be addressing this more tomorrow morning.

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused anyone.

Best regards,
Joe
