CODE OF CONDUCT Here at UAV we follow a very strict code of conduct. All pilots, admins, hub managers, and executives are expected to follow these rules. Any failure to attend to these rule can result on suspension, long term suspension, and termination. Although UAV is a non-profit organization the airline reserves the right to suspend and terminate users from the airline. This code applies to any program, flight filing system, and Teamspeak 3.

If you are a new pilot, you are required to file your first pirep report within 14 days of contract or risk being terminated.
Activity Requirements In order to retain contract with United Airlines Virtual, we require you to file TWO pireps monthly. This so pilots maintain connection with the airline and we can see what pilots are dedicated to serving their passengers and who needs to go. If you know you will be unable to complete the flight requirements, please file a leave of absence (LOA) with Human Resources VIA the website.
Leave of Absence As a pilot for UAV, it is your responsibility to abide by all of the airline regulations and requirements. One of these is to file TWO pireps every month. If you will be unable to execute this task, then you may file for a leave of absence. A leave of absence is a period in which you are requesting your account to be put on hold due to not being able to perform the required activity. Your leave of absence may not exceed 90 days and we require a specific reason for your leave of absence. To avoid abuse, pilots may not file for more than 3 leave of absences per year.
Crew Hub Transfer
We understand that sometimes, you need a change of scenery. Maybe, Houston doesnt fit your need to the coast. Then our Los Angeles Hub may be a better fit. Whatever the reason, pilots are allowed a crew base transfer every (three) 3 months. Sometimes, there can be significant wait times depending on the availability of that hub.
Pilot Ranking/Seniority Second Officer (0 Flights) First Officer (5 Flights) Captain (20 Flights) Veteran (50 Flights) Most active pilot (Most flights in Hub) Top Pilot (Most active pilot in Airline) ATP Instructor (Pilot Trainer) (Must have at least 50 flights and pass exam)
Teamspeak 3 Server
United Airlines Virtual has a fully operational TS3 server. Teamspeak 3 is the most advanced VOIP (Voice over IP) software available. We use our server for multiplayer communications, pilot and staff communications and just for a social room of course. In the multiplayer session, we do not use FSX voice, but TS3 voice to decrease session lag, and to provide better voice communications. Below I list how to install TS3 on your PC.
