Who do I contact to move up to the 737 program? I put my request in a couple of days ago and I've heard nothing back yet.

Hmmm. I remember something about a Promotion Manual being mentioned before. A show of hands of those who have read it... wink

Welcome Calvin,

For all those entering the 737 Program from the CRJ, I have sent numerous emails out to those requesting Equiptment Transfers, If you email is invalid, I suggest you update it. The CR Information is Pirepable and also counts as a Flight Leg, The DVA ACARS must be used, with the CR option Checked. The Flight must be used with the 737-800 or with a Payware 738.

Please do not ask me or Dan how to program the FMC, That is one of your tasks that you need to acomplish besides being able to fly the bird. I know sometimes that the Payware FMC Manuals are a little bit out there, and if you read the manual, most of it is explianed, there are some instances where you made need guidiance, and that is permittable, But please, please don't ask how to program it from A-Z.

If you are uncomfortable with Programming it, use the Excellent Freeware 738 we have in the Fleet Library. Take Care and Happy Flying.

One new feature of DVA2006 is its ability to automate significant portions of the promotions process. I think there has been significant latent demand for promotions, because our equipment transfer queue is overflowing. I know that this has placed some significant demands and burdens on our staff especially in the 737, MD-88, 757 and 767 programs.

If you have completed the examination and check ride and it's been 48-72 hours, please send a friendly e-mail to the staff member who assigned your check ride. If you've been waiting more than 4-5 days to get a checkride assigned, again, please send an e-mail to the Chief Pilot or Assistant in the equipment program you wish to transfer into. I hope you will be patient with the staff as they work through this, and I expect them to continue to be patient and struggle through the challenges of our new process.

It's delightful to see so many pilots interested in taking the next step forward with DVA. The system is working a lot better than it did before, and I expect this improvement to continue.

Cheers!

I did a check ride without one being requested of me. Do I need to email Anthony again and request a check ride?
