11/22/2018	Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!	Brian Hankey
While we emulate the operations of Air France and its Skyteam partners, we are based out of the United States and today is a holiday for those of us based in the United States to be thankful for those that are important in our lives. I wanted to thank all of our pilots and staff for helping us be one of the leading VAs to emulate Air France. Your dedication to this hobby and for those you that I know personally, your friendship. Thank you and I look forward to many more together. Best Regards, Brian Hankey President & CEO, AFVA

09/28/2018	Recent changes within the management structure of AFVA	Paul Hale
All, Following recent meetings at Senior Staff level, We wanted you all to be aware of changes that are being implemented within the AFVA management structure. Senior staff have been monitoring the airline from a distance in the past months and have decided to make some strategic decisions that we believe will be of benefit to the entire airline moving forward. With that being said, the following changes are effective immediately: Transfers: Silvian Baltac is transferring from Senior Staff to become B707 Chief Pilot, We would like to say a huge thank you to Silvian for all the hard work he has put in at Senior Staff level in the past months and years. Daniel Healy is resigning from his Director of Operations role to focus solely on being Concorde Chief Pilot. Daniel also has many real world commitments that need to take priority over his virtual career. Retirements and Separations: Fabien Bergeret has repeatedly requested to retire as Vice President HR due to his real world commitments at medical school. We have reluctantly agreed to this but only after we have recruited his replacement. Massive thanks Fabien to your contributions to the AFVA senior Staff in the past years and good luck with your career to become a doctor! Terry ‘Iron Man’ Ward has requested to retire and become a Senior Captain. We can't thank Terry enough for the huge amount of commitment he has put into the airline over the past years in a huge variety of different roles at staff level. Terry has set an extraordinary standard at AFVA logging 5860 flights, a number that may never be surpassed by any other pilot. Thank you Terry and we wish you a very happy retirement but still hope to see you in our virtual skies from time to time! Kalev Kadak leaves his position as B707 Chief Pilot and becomes a Senior Captain. Kalev has become more and more busy with his real life professional career and as such now wishes to keep his spare time he gets flying with us rather than concentrating on staff duties. Thanks for all your hard work Kalev! Daniel Han leaves his position as Boeing 777 Assistant Chief Pilot and becomes a Senior Captain Christophe Bouville becomes a Senior Captain but will continue to help out with the Social Media channels. Following on from this announcement, a variety of new staff positions are shortly to be advertised which will be open to all active pilots (Subject to minimum criteria being met) so If you want to further your virtual career and potentially take a step into helping us manage this amazing Virtual Airline, please keep your eyes posted for further announcements.
