Hi all at DeltaVa and Air France VA :-)
I am a quite new member here, signed on a few days ago.
Just a few notes to my person. I am living in Western Germany, quite close to the Netherlands and Belgium. I've always dreamt of becoming a pilot, or air traffic controller, but then finally decided to study computer science at RWTH University. Getting into aviation is still possible that way 
Also to virtual airlines I am not new, have been a former member of FTG (had some 1000h there), but decided to quit there after they got hacked another time. I looked around for a nice, organised, and rather professional VA that doesn't lack the comunity, and came to Delta VA. As you in Delta are rather US focused, it's understandable I decided for Air France ... - even though my first experience with AF in real life was being boarded an ERJ-135 (iirc) that had some ironic oxide near the door ... Anyway, I hope (and already had) I will have a better start here
Hope I'll stay at least as long here as with FTG (that's been 5 years! - almost), and will definitely enjoy working (or rather staying) with you!
Cheers,
Markus

Wilkommen Markus!
You joined the best program here at AFVA!...
Any problems shoot me an email rtaylor@afva.net and I'll do what I can.
I've been to Aachen and Koln many many times, lived in Frankfurt(Main) for a year, working at Frankfurt Main Flughafen...I love Germany so much!
I'm over in Koln between the 11th and 13th of June! I try and get over there as many times a year as possible...
You will enjoy your time here at AFVA, although we are small compared to some VA's we are growing fast! We are a friendly buch here, always ready to help, so just ask!
All the best, see you in the skies soon!!!
Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :-)
I'll definitely ask you questions whenever one comes to my mind :-)
Hehe, Robert. I usually cross Cologne whenever I am taking the train to my parents. Usually with a big delay -.-
