How ranks impact you

As you file flights with the airline, you accrue hours, which qualify you to raise in rank.

Your rank has several consequences:

• Aircraft types are tied to rank - so your rank determines which aircraft you can choose

• Flights may be tied to aircraft types - so flights available to you may be restricted indirectly by your rank

• Not all flights are tied to rank (tours are usually open to all)
