11/13/2021	Latest Staff Updates	Daniel Duhon
Hello All! I am pleased to announce a couple of new staff changes that have taken place recently. Benjamin Buske has decided to step down as Chief Pilot of the ERJ-190 Program due to real-world commitments. He has done a fantastic job of leading our entry-level program and we are thankful for his willingness to help! He will remain on staff as Assistant Chief Pilot of the program. We have also decided to change the naming of the ERJ-190 Program as well to better reflect the nature of the Program. It will now be called the "Regional Airliners Program." Taking Ben's place as Chief Pilot will be Calum MacDonald. Calum is passionate about the ERJ aircraft and is eager to help out his fellow pilots! We are excited to have him join our team! Please join me in congratulating Calum on this well-earned promotion! Along with changing the name of the program, we have also added the A220-1 and A220-3 to the program ratings and all pilots with the Regional program ratings should gain those ratings automatically. If you do not have the A220 rating and believe you should, please submit a help desk ticket at https://afva.net/helpdesk.do . Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that there is still time to apply for the Historical Airliners Chief Pilot position if you are interested! We hope everyone is doing well! Cheers, AFVA Staff Brian Hankey CEO & President bhankey@afva.net Daniel Duhon Executive Vice President dduhon@afva.net Air France/KLM Virtual Airlines
