PROPOSED PROCEDURES / NOT YET ENABLED
How a charter assignment will work.
Research & approval
Staff create or approve the DVA charter itinerary, aircraft type, airports, timing and any sport or event theme.
Publish the release
A charter release can include the team or event, aircraft, airports, departure window, flight plan and optional positioning legs.
Pilot assignment
A qualified Mainline pilot may request or accept a published charter, subject to aircraft and any special endorsements.
Fly & report
Flight tracking and a PIREP are reviewed before any hours, credit or program incentives are awarded.
TRAINING / ACCESS / OVERSIGHT
Who will be eligible?
We plan to require an active Mainline pilot identity, the appropriate aircraft-type qualification, and a Charter Operations endorsement. Additional requirements may apply for international trips, specialized airports or other operational complexities. Endorsement courses, exams and specific thresholds are not yet finalized.
Qualification rules, available routes, aircraft eligibility and any virtual pay incentives will be documented before these programs open. Program completion will not create a new pilot identity.
- One unified DVA pilot roster — no separate charter account.
- Current aircraft qualification for the assigned virtual charter.
- Charter-program training and endorsement when implemented.
- Any additional applicable airport or international endorsement.
- DVA-approved charter assignment and flight release.
- Flight-credit review before charter hours or incentives are awarded.
