Your VATSIM rating on an application
Watch the video: Flying on VATSIM or IVAO
When you apply to an airline, you can let its staff see your VATSIM pilot rating and your hours on VATSIM as a pilot. It saves them checking you by hand.
Sharing it
- Add your VATSIM CID on your Profile first.
- On the airline's page, tick Show this airline's staff my VATSIM pilot rating and hours on the application form.
- Send the application.
You're asked again with every application: ticking it once doesn't share it with other airlines.
What staff see
While your application waits, the staff who can approve it see your CID, your pilot rating, your pilot hours and a link to your VATSIM stats, read from VATSIM's public data. They also see whether VATSIM confirmed the CID or you typed it yourself.
Nothing is read from VATSIM if you don't tick the box, and it never shows on any public page.
For staff
Open the applicant from Staff → Pilots. The card VATSIM, shared by the applicant shows only when they ticked the box and while the application waits. If VATSIM can't be read, the card says so and the link to their stats still works.
