I was just wondering, now that DVA got the 717 rating, and you can select it as an aircraft type in Find a Flight option,
Are we getting those ratings too?

Not likely, no. The rating came to DVA because the RW DAL began code sharing with Hawaiian Airlines. Because we don't share in this code share, it won't come over. Now, if one of our partners starts operating it, it will be available.

Augusto - remember ACARS is shared with DVA pilots. An example of ratings that we will have in the near future (TBD) will be the historical fleet that AF flew in the 30's , 50's and 60's.... Like the D.228. the Br 763, the Caravelle. They are aircraft that will appear the drop down for them but they will not be able to fly them.

Does that help?

The 717 shouldn't appear for AFV pilots - if you type .update and it still appears, let me know.

Cheers!
