vUAL has also begun its transition to v2.0 which will feature a new ACARS followed shortly there after by a newly-designed website. v2.0 will be more user-oriented with simple design and easy to navigate pages. The ACARS and Website have been in Beta testing for the past week and will go live in the coming month. Stay tuned for more!
With the coming of the new site, vUAL is launching a campaign program to all new pilots from now until 1 JUN 2013. All new pilots will receive 1000 vUAL Reward Points and 200 FREE transfer hours. Pilots who have already registered can receive 200 hours towards their rank if they so wish (email HRQRS@virtualua.org).
