Hi,

When I try to request additional rating I receive this message:
You are not able to request a transfer into or additional ratings in any Delta Virtual Airlines Equipment programs.

But when looking on my profile I have this messsage:
You are eligible to transfer to or request additional ratings in the following equipment types upon successful completion of the First Officer's examination for these equipment programs: CRJ-200, EMB-120, ERJ-170, B717-200, A330-300, B727-200, B757-200, L-1011-100, A350-900, DC-6.

Have you completed the FO exam for the program you wish to transfer into?

Hi Luke,

No, but I am not even able to taking the FO exam. When I click request additional rating I get a message that I am not able to request a transfer into or additional ratings in any Delta Virtual Airlines equipment program.
I can switch equipment program with one of my current ratings, but not request a new one.

You'll need to go into the Testing Center to write the FO examination.
