Pilot Ranks

At United Virtual Airlines (UVA), we champion the freedom of our pilots to select their preferred aircraft types, regardless of their experience level. Whether you're embarking on your journey with us or are a seasoned pilot, our philosophy encourages flying the aircraft you love. However, Pilot Reports (PIREPs) undergo evaluation by our system and/or staff, emphasizing the importance of choosing aircraft in which pilots are competent and comfortable. Failure to do so may lead to rejection of PIREPs.

Rank assignments at UVA are based on the cumulative hours flown, providing a source of pride, bragging rights, and determining payroll. The table below outlines the breakdown of hours required for each rank:

This ranking system serves to acknowledge and reward pilots for their dedication while offering a flexible and enjoyable flying experience for all.
