Globe Cargo News

Beginning in January 2009 our Hall of Fame program will return. The HOF program is intended to recognize members who have demonstrated through PIREPs that they take flying for GC to the next level.

There will be some changes to the program. Eligible pilots must be a member of GC for at least 6 months. Additionally, the eligible pilot must have at least 3 pireps submitted within the previous 3 months.

There will be a HOF inductee every quarter (4x per year). The winner will receive a golden wings image (left) on the roster, a certificate to hang on the wall, and will be asked to provide some words to be published on the forum and/or newsletter as well as a picture if at all possible.

The first period will begin January 2009 with the first induction occuring early in April.

Ralf has accepted and begun training as our new Director of Human Resources. Ralf is a Finance Manager at a construction company in Scotland. We are excited to have him onboard the management team.

The Director of Human Resources duties are changing to take a more active role primarily to assist our new members still on probation and to help keep the roster free of inactive pilots. For our new pilots, Ralf will be your point of contact and he will guide you all the way through the probation period so there's no chance of termination due to incomplete probation items. That is, of course, unless the pilot fails to complete those items which would be due to inactivity.

Ralf can be reached at hr@globecargova.org.

Globe Cargo is proud to present the LDS 767 to our fleet! This is a very well designed model which other FS modellers strive to reach the same quality. LDS is the only 767 approved for GC operations.

Globe Cargo remains a Polar/Atlas Air VA operating 747's. Thru our DHL operation we provide a variety in aircraft and flights.

To kickoff this exciting news we have organized a landing competition with the winner operating the very first 767 flight for Globe Cargo. Go to the forum for more details.

Official Globe Cargo checklists are available for download. Thanks to Michael Swannick for adapting his popular checklists to Globe Cargo.

The checklists are in the download section and are available for ATR-500, 727-200, 747-200, and 747-400.

Globe Cargo is very pleased to announce, for the first time in nearly two years, a new edition of the GCVA newsletter.

The newsletter will be published monthly with articles by the admin staff, member profiles, and other informative and interesting sections. You may view the pdf by going to Company->Newsletter. Several past newsletters will be archived here and will remain accessible for some time.

While the January 2008 edition is very well done, we are always looking for improvements so please feel free to let us know your ideas by posting in the suggestion forum.

Enjoy!
