"Hi there! If you whant to join, just go back to the web site and go in Human Resources and then click on Join Asia and Australia Hub. You have to answer a few questions and then they will make you pass a test. As for the machine, I have a P4 1.8 with 512 of memory and I'm doing fine. I crash a lot but it's not the computer....hahahaha (pilot humour) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img] Hope you come aboard, it's really fun. P.s.: Ralph, it would be fun if we could try to do the test but only for fun...."

I joined only a week or two ago and I didn't have to take a test.... But maybe that was due to my experience??? I've been a real-world pilot for going on 11 years and have over 750 hours. I was wondering about a test though...

We felt there were other things to get in place before this was done and making sure we use the right approach to it is very important."

Makes sense to me!

"Nathan, there is a secret test that you have to pass once you've been flying for a while here. You have to prove that you can fly below radar coverage, that you can evada Coast Guard and Customs. The funny things is that the ones that fail are never seen again........ [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]"

"Hi, I also joined this VA recently, and have a few questions: Can I fly my own routes, or should I stick to the given? Do I have to keep to the schedule in terms of really flying sth let's say on Wednesday at 4 AM, or do I just fly when it's suitable for me, and set the correct date (I had this impression from the reading of Pilot's Manual, but would like to be sure)."

"You must fly and submit PIREP's only for Bid routes, Open Board Routes and Atlas Charters. You can fly the flights and legs at any time during the given week and simply reset the time and date in MSFS."

[right][snapback]2716[/snapback][/right] </div> I think that was a great decision to include the PMDG 744. Hopefully, there will be a great ""dynasty"" repaint for the Atlas routes. For Santiago - Since he's running a low-end system and is having problems with the RFP 742, perhaps a more casual VA will be better. Bob"

"While I may concur with your assessment, don't run him off either. Let him give it a shot... you should have worded it a bit different... but it's all good."

"welcome Alvarez!! No tests, just give me half of everything you make because I think I derserve it.

billg BTW, joking, hehe, just in case you didn't know, thought I'd throw that in, but I'm not joking about if you ever need a hand--I'm no expert--but I'll do my best for you. billg "
