Once a Pilot, looking to get back in

"Hey guys, I flew with Globe Cargo maybe a year and half ago, if not two years ago. Since the PMDG 744F is out and I flew it LAX-NRT yesterday, I had forgoten how much fun it is to fly cargo. So, I do not have the RFP 742 installed anymore and was wondering if you'll let a guy back in without the 742?? Not that I'm not inclined to install the 742 back on my machine, but geez that 744F is nice. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] So let me know."

"Dave, Although you'll need to get the CEO approval, the standing rules require at least RFP installed. Reason is that some time in the future, we may require certain routes to be flown by RFP, while others with the -400F."

That means if you still want to join us, as a minimum, you would just start with 0 hours."

"Dave, Go ahead and apply. Right now we are excepting for EITHER aircraft. However, only the Asia/Australia Region is open."

[right][snapback]7782[/snapback][/right] </div> Ted, Ok, just got one basic procedure questions I don't see in the Pilots Manual. If I pick a flight for the Open flight board until the Bids are up for next month how do I get a return flight??? Example: I pick PO#### VHHH-KLAX with one stop, are there open bids that come up from KLAX after I completed that route?? I see in the manaul that a pilot is able to ask for a ferry flight from the Region Administrator and that might be the way to get back the next airport to book another bid, I am not sure. So just a basic question before I get started here in the next few days. "

There are no return flights (essentiall, they're all ""dead-head""). However, the staff is currently discussing changing that. Stand-by for that word. "

[right][snapback]7818[/snapback][/right] </div> Dave, You can fly any Polar open board flight from the A/A region right now and get credit for it. By ""deadhead"", I mean ""one-way"". There will be no return flight. All Polar flights, for you, will originate in the A/A region. There are no Polar flights you can pick up to return to the region. The staff is currently reviewing the Charter for possible changes. In the future, our requirement may only be that your first flight originate in your region and your last flight end in your region, allowing pilots to bid routes that return the ""home"". This is yet to be approved, so stand-by for that."

"Just a question, I'd have time and therefore would decide to come back, would I get the same pilot# as before?"
