Well folks, I've flown many thousands of hours for quite a few VA's and I think that you run a really good program here. I've had to leave some because they disbanded, some because of poor admin, and even some because of lack of communication. Your aircraft manuals are thorough and very well written, your expectations are quite reasonable, your exams are fair goals (as opposed to being too simple or way out of reach), and your overall program seems to be above par in comparison to the rest of the VA's that I've looked at. In addition, I really dig your ACARS system. It works very well and I like the chatting function (though I've never used it yet but it's there). I think you guys run a first-rate VA and I plan on being here a while. Thanks for all the hard work. I think that I have found a good new home. Looking forward to many hours with you!
-Mick-

You know what - it really is. I actually spent MONTHS looking for a VA that had what my picky self has been looking for. And I MEAN picky. As soon as I repair my mic I look forward to joining you all online. (Now I have FSX and I haven't found software for VATSIM or IVAO for FSX yet, but if there is I'm there). At any rate, thanks for having your collective sh!t together and providing a good release for when my woman won't shut up!

you won't regret joining us. as for getting on VATSIM with FSX you can use FSInn. it works for both FS9 and FSX. its MUCH better than SB3 in my opinion.

I @#$%^& HATE squakbox. Apparently I'm missing a LOT because I jumped from 2002 to X and I hear FS9 is greatness. I really dig X but the addons are coming slowly. I will check out FSINN and hopefully will get my mic repaired soon (just a soldering issue) and tear the skies up! Thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome aboard sir. FS9 is a pretty good program, I think you'll like it. Not to mention tons of add-ons. FSX will get there eventually but 2004 still rocks! You can pick one up anywhere for about 20 bucks.

I figured as much - I may just get it and stick it on my notebook. Also - the Google Earth flight tracks are pretty sweet. Very clever!
