Ok i was wondering why dont we start flying the 747-400 on some of our routes. The 747-400 is so widely used by most airlines I thought maybe could start our own little Jumbo Division. Anyone?

Sorry, but we model our operations after Delta Air Lines, and as such we only use aircraft that are in use, or have been used, by Delta.
Cheers!

Mark, we appreciate individuals willing to help out. My suggestion is to go to the "our staff" link on the hand side of the website and email Luke Kolin about doing panels.

Chris, yes. I believe Northwest, Korean, Air France, Royal Air Maroc, and Quantas are the only ones. Someone correct me if there are any more.

I've filed an ACARs PIREP under Delta Airlines using the 747-400. There may not be a program with in DVA for the 747, but nothing is stopping you from flying her on any of our routes.

Mark, feel free to throw something together and send it to me. Really, the big question for me is whether it operates under FSX.

I'm new here, but i feel that DVA with all it's realistic approach to flights and operations, should keep only excicting fleet.
