Was toying with the idea today flying newly installed aircraft and was thinking maybe a session with a single airline throughout the years perhaps. We could have a mix of aircraft flying from the airline take BA iv been playing with my DC10 in Landor livery but you could have other liveries or special schemes like the world tails, chelsea rose, olympics, blue peter, red nose, panda, the latest crest one, farewell 757 ect and have like airline action if Callum ever gets around to installing the ATC module could be loads of fun. I think this could be fun in a few ways as it would give us something to do maybe install that thing also Callum talks about he uses and we get a proper EE airline going where we have a manifest ranks and we log our flights into a system on the EE site perhaps with a login. I think it would be fun trying to play a virtual airline within EE and we pick the fleet to fly say like the fleet of EE Airways is 737NG, DC10, 717, 777 (threw this in for Bofum), A330/340, A320 and sone regional jets like ATRs or Embraers (like American Eagle thing).
I suppose this could work maybe with the rank system you have a minimum flight hours to achieve the next rank and then depending on your flights and amount of flights an EE Airways fleet captain can promote you to the next rank. So we say have Callum and Bofum as fleet captains then the rest of us start out from the bottom and work our way up to captain and possibly senior captain for a certain aircraft type. I think we should have a livery perhaps or use a single airline livery when flying these EE Airways flights and we each get an official EE Airways callsign assigned to us to fly with allowing us be more professional for example Callum is EE1 so all flights logged will be EE1 callsign and so forth. Maybe we have perhaps a training captain also to train us on various tricky airport approaches for example like Maderia or Eaglevale and we choose a main Base to base the airline out of so we all fly from there and then expand after a while to another Base we can operate out of.
It sounds a good idea iv been toying with the idea for a while since FS2004 when i kind of unofficially ran my own Virtual airline with some friends. It was fun whilst it lasted then we went our separate ways and it sort of wound down till it was just me racking up the most flights in a 146 clocking up about 3000 flights before some returned and we ran it for a few months before closing it down as RL kicked in for most of the others and I got bored being the only one logging flights so we wound it down and it dissapeared into history. I feel if we are going to keep the FSX division open we could use this as a sort of event thing to create more events in the calender for this division and have more fun with it. We could have a couple of times a year we have a sorta meet and we show off and could include competitions and training flights between airports and other things but I think this might kick off if either Callum or Bofum or both are interested in the concept
