Since the beginning, Southwest Virtual has never been very big on limiting what or where pilots can fly because of their seniority, rank, or any other reason. As such, while we do have a ranking system, it does not put any stipulations on the routes or aircraft pilots can fly. It is merely there to quickly determine how many hours pilots have and is there for those pilots who like to climb up the ranks. Career Ranks are Trainee through ATP Captain, and A-List Preferred Ranks are from Bronze to Platinum.
Beginning at the Captain rank (75 hours), pilots will qualify for A-List status, and at 300 hours, pilots will be eligible for our most prestigious statuses, A-List Preferred Suite (listed below). At the A-List and A-List Preferred statuses, pilots will enjoy a dedicated membership role in our Discord server, multipliers on all flights, and event signup and pushback priority.
