Caalair has had a fantastic moth for June. With new members joining and getting flights on the board very quickly.

Welcome to the Caalair update for May. It has been another great month for us at Caal Airways. We welcomed 3 new pilots to the ranks and have already posted flights on the board. An event from Dublin to Manchester was held on Vatsim and was well received by those that attended. Good news also for the fleet as a couple of old favorites were returned to active service, the MD11 and an EMB170. A total of 86 flights were flown which covered 60169 Miles. Our screenshot competition for the monthly magazine cover produced some excellent pictures, some of which have been placed into the mag. The staff at Caalair thank all their pilots and welcome the new recruits and look forward to a great month in May.

Caal Airways Monthly Update for April 2014

editor — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 18:26:52 +0000

It has been about six months since the last release of “Clover Flight Magazine” and the airline has seen many changes. Many new pilots have joined our ranks. Also some pilots have taken the opportunity to become P1 and P2 rated pilots with our Vatsim training. We welcome all our new pilots and congratulate our Trained ones. Sadly some bad news, Due to lack of revenue and increasing running costs, Our FAJS Hub in South Africa had to be disbanded and the aircraft utilized on other routes. The airline still services SA. with all routes still in service but flown on a “as required ” basis. Stansted has also seen some changes and all passenger flight have been cancelled. Mail flights will continue and a new heavy haulage aircraft has been employed to cater for the new operations. The combining of our two hubs in Ireland into one district has proven to be a winner with many new flights now available, both short and long haul. Fleet changes have been made with some aircraft being retired and some into storage or kept for parts. I have no doubt we will be seeing some more modern aircraft in the future. Caal Airways is a growing virtual airline and is always on the lookout for prospective pilots. Why not come and visit us and take the next step and start your career with us.

Virtual United Airlines June Status

editor — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 04:35:00 +0000

We experienced much improvement to our front-end product in the month of May. This month’s highlights include an exclusive partnership with REX Game Studios and the release of vUAL 2.0 (a new ACARS and website platform). With these upgrades we are making several improvements and coordinating with our pilots for an optimized virtual experience. Our efforts as we look forward are to best suit our pilots needs and to create a unique and engaging environment.

vUnited 2.0 www.virtualua.org
Our staff team took the time to sit down and rethink our website/ACARS platform in order to renovate and create a modern design while improving usability. Please find the linked feature article on the new website and ACARS (http://www.virtualua.org/contrails/Special%20Edition%20(Final).pdf). This new site will bring our members more eye-candy and functionality for all stages of virtual aviation from preflight to filing your PIREPS.

Partnerships
The cornerstone of vUnited’s values is creating a strong relationship with other developers and organizations in the community. We would like to thank our numerous partners and their efforts to help benefit both of our organizations! This month vUnited rolled out a new partnership with REX Game Studios. This new agreement will give our pilots access to company discounts through the vUnited Pilot Shop. We are also continuing to work towards ATO status with VATSIM upon the upcoming release of our Training Center.

Star Alliance Codeshares
Our pilots asked and we delivered! vUnited is currently in the process of acquiring and implementing Star Alliance timetables to increase global reach in the simulator. We will be rolling out the different codeshares in stages. The first airlines to be released into service with vUnited are: Lufthansa, Air Canada and ANA. We will continue to release codeshares monthly until they are all in the system!

Growth and Development
It is incredible how fast this virtual community has taken off the ground. vUnited started operations less than three months ago and has grown to a 300+ member community with pilots all across the globe. A majority of our pilots are active VATSIM users and represent some of the most dedicated and skilled pilots in the virtual community. We will continue to adapt to the growth to best suit the needs of our pilot so no member’s question or issue goes unanswered.

Monthly Announcements

· We are giving free vUALReward Points to pilots on their birthdays!

· The 787 enters service and our timetables now reflect their re-entry to service.

· We are continuing to hire staff members for the airline.

· vUnited now averages 50 PIREPS per day!
