I have a question about my status in the MD-88 program. I am rated as a Captain (Phase 2). What are the differences in Phases for a particular A/C type rating?

The "Stage 2" indicates what class of aircraft your program falls in. DVA has five different "stages" of aircraft programs. Roughly listed, they are:

Stage 1: CRJ-200
Stage 2: MD-88, B737
Stage 3: B727, B757/767, L-1011
Stage 4: MD-11, B777, DC-8
Stage 5: Concorde

Check out the Promotions Manual in the Pilot Center's Document Library. That covers the whole "stage" system in a lot more detail.

Ahhh. Understood. I should have known this and have come to know this through the pilots Manual and such. I just downloaded and printed all of the relevant manuals I need. Thank you so much.

Clear skies.

Ken.
