Pilot Ranks
صفوف
At Etihad Virtual, a pilot starts their career at the rank of Trainee, meaning they can fly the Etihad Airbus A320 along with multiple codeshare aircrafts. Once a pilot has clocked enough hours, they will be approached by a member of the staff team on Slack and after being awarded a new rank badge, will be able to fly the aircraft of new rank. Once a pilot ranks up, they are allowed to fly the new unlocked aircraft as well as all previous available aircrafts. Commander rank is our highest rank and is eligible to fly all the aircraft within the airline.
Below is a table of all ranks and hours with their corresponding aircraft.

After a pilot reaches commander rank, their career does not end. We have 4 additional elite ranks, which can be achieved when pilots fly a certain amount of hours. All these elite ranks offer custom made name badges and each elite rank unlocks bonus hour multiples.
We also offer two bonus VIP aircraft namely Boeing B737 BBJ and Cessna Citation X, which can be unlocked at Commander rank. These aircraft are open to fly on any established Etihad Virtual route and can be logged under a dedicated PIREP form on the CrewCenter.
