Welcome to Northwest Virtual Airlines et al Human Resource Department. This department processes your applications, transfers, flight checks and looks after the general well being of our pilots. Our staff are trained to work with you and in most cases respond to you within 24 hrs. You can also communicate with members of the Personnel Department and view the hour structure for promotions. The links to information are on the left of this page.

As you may have already read, much research has gone into the forming of this virtual airline based on the Northwest, KLM, Continental, Alaska and Mesaba formats including contact with executives to obtain permission to use the Northwest Airlines©, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines©, Continental Airlines©, Mesaba Aviation© and Alaska Airlines© names and logos. Ed Augustine created the idea of a virtual airline based on the Northwest theme in late 1995 and after much work was finally able to officially start Northwest Virtual Airlines et al on April 1, 1997.

We are in no way affiliated with Northwest Airlines© nor can we obtain any discounts for our virtual pilots. We are simply fans of Northwest Airlines© and its aircraft. This virtual airline is operated by aviation buffs and simulator enthusiasts and Northwest Airlines© has no financial or other interest in this venture.

All pilots joining NWVA et al will be asked to submit a simple check ride. Upon submission of the check ride, pilots will spend the first 10 flight hours at our Central Training Facility. From there, new pilots will be transferred to the Airline and hub of their choice where they will start to fly routes and Aircraft taken from the real world Airline schedules. Pilots joining with previous verified V.A flight hours will also start at the C.T.F where they will be introduced to our systems such as pirep reporting, and may be fast tracked to the hub of their choice.

Active pilots may transfer to another Airline or Hub, if they have flown with their present hub for a minimum of one month.
