GENERAL UPDATES


NEW CODESHARE

We are absolutely ecstatic to now be codeshare partners with @SouthwestVirtual. Our pilots so far have loved flying these routes and with as many long hauls as we fly, it’s great to have some shorter options into domestic regions we wouldn’t typically be able to fly to. Pilots get to choose the “Heart Livery” on either the 737 or 738.

NEW CORPORATE FLIGHT PILOTS

We wanted to welcome @Ouzy and @AirbusDriver to the elite club we call our Corporate Flight Program! After over 700 hours in the air for UPS Virtual and a few more boxes ticked regarding requirements, these two have been accepted into our highly celebrated and touted program for the elite. Enjoy zero restrictions and a 1.3x flight multiplier on your CFP flights while utilizing our awesome Corporate Fleet!

UPDATED RANKS & CODESHARE REQUIREMENTS

We have decided to slightly adjust our ranking structure, as well as our codeshare requirements, to best serve YOU! We want our line pilots to be able to engage more easily and fly a wider array of aircraft, all while enjoy the benefits of climbing the ranking ladder and flying our wonderful codeshare routes and aircraft!

Ok so i’m debating applying for UPS VA however i’ve never flown a cargo plane before, so is it much different than commercial or anything?

As with any aircraft, there are things to learn, but instead of passengers, you’re flying lots and lots of cargo.

We’d love to have ya! It’s not much different. The MD, specifically, is a challenging aircraft to master but that makes a great landing and takeoff all the more rewarding. Our staff is always happy to help any new members with learning how to fly any of our aircraft or become familiar with our procedures. If you ask me, cargo is the way to go!

Unfortunately had to leave UPS VA for personal reasons a month or so ago, however I recommend this VA to everyone! The members and staff are some of the friendliest I’ve encountered, the overall experience being sublime! If anyone’s looking for a VA then I cannot think of a better one to join.
