3.9 ATC Appreciation Program

vAAirlines is proud to recognize the real-world aviation accomplishments by our members and utilizes that recognition in a unique way. After applying for vAAirlines you will be awarded an aircraft group (Group I or Group II) based on your entrance exam score. If you score a 90% or better on the entrance exam and are also a real-world certificated Air Traffic Controller, you can earn a fast track towards Group III First Officer after providing proof of your certifications. Proof of your certifications should be emailed to either your Group Chief Pilot, Human Resources, or the CEO with any non-essential information from the certificate (address, birthdate, height, weight, etc.) covered/blacked out. After being approved, you will be moved to Group II Captain and immediately be able to test into a Group III Type Rating course of your choice. After successful completion of the associated written and practical checkrides, you will be moved to Group III First Officer.
