3.8 Aviator 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 aviator, you can earn an automatic advancement to Group III First Officer after providing proof of your pilot certificate (FAA or international equivalent). Proof of your certificate 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. You can either send a scan of your actual certificate or send the downloaded information from the FAA airmen registry for this proof. The Aviator Appreciation Program is extended to any real-world aviator holding any of the following certificates: Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, or Airline Transport Pilot (ATP). While you cannot view the actual exam itself, you can view your score in the Pilot Portal by clicking on the “Rank Progression” tab.
