Aer Lingus VA is a Virtual Airline, and has no connection or affiliation with Aer Lingus or any other real world airline.
What we look for in our crew, and how we reward them!
As with the majority of VAs within the Infinite Flight community, we have some basic requirements to qualify crew members. We also operate a simple and rewarding rank structure to work through by flying scheduled, seasonal and codeshare routes, as well as taking part in VA organised events and group flights.
It should be noted that we are not currently in open recruitment for crew, yet it's important that the expected requirements for crew applications be known to those who are planning to apply when we open the gate in the coming weeks. The table shows the initial planned requirements, although they are subject to change on full staff recruitment and discussion.
These will be the requirements suggested to the management team, and are unlikley to change significantly.

| Minimum Age 14 |
| Infinite Flight Grade 3 or higher |
| Violations/Landings less than 50% |
