Fleet Aircraft Following

With the new fleet aircraft following being put into action, every pilot will have their own aircraft belonging to them, with a few other aircraft to spare (incase someone nicks yours).
I shall compile a short list on who's aircraft belongs to whom.

Newcastle - G-DOCM Boeing 738

CD261 - G-LNCD Boeing 744

Stansy - G-BNWH Boeing 763

Robplaying - EC-ROB Boeing 738

harry - G-LNHW Boeing 738

constantine112 - G-BYTH 320

Kilimanjaro - G-CELX Boeing 733

Blackwatch_007 - Resigned

Jujuppeke - G-DEFG 319

One aircraft eh, wow. Let me think about that one. I have about 25 that I enjoy flying

I will get back to you tonight.

Okay, I have decided if I only get 1 aircraft it will be G-BNWH.

Some questions:
- Can I fly other aircraft?
- Are there any restrictions on where aircraft have to be left when not using them?
- Can we choose a different aircraft later?
- Will we ever have more than 1?
- What is the purpose of "owning" an aircraft?

Thanks as always for your time.

Well. I've been thinking...

We could easily purchase around 20 aircraft consisting of our revised fleet, and the pilots could just decide which one to fly, and when, depending on where in the world it is.

Im a bit stumped on this one, if anyone else has any better ideas go ahead.

no i think that everyone having theree own craft is the best idea, just keep it like this, thnaks for the 738

I don't think there is an easy answer for how to manage things. If I had the magic wand, I would assign each pilot multiple aircraft over time as they progress, and by the time they had accumulated Legendary, they would have their own set. It would go like this:

0 - 20 hours: They get a prop aircraft up to 25 passenger size, for local flights ( < 100nm)
21 - 100 hours: They get a regional jet ~ 45 - 60 passenger size, like ERJ or CRJ for short regional flights (< 500 nm)
so at 30 hours they have 2 planes, a small prop and regional jet.

101 - 200 hours: Small medium range Jet ~ 120 passengers, Like Airbus 318/319 or 737-300 or 727-200 for Regional Flights (<1000nm)
Now they have 3
201 - 300: Medium aircraft for Short or medium hauls, like A320/321 or B738 or 752 (<2000nm)
301 - 500: Large Long Range aircraft for Medium Hauls ~ 260 passengers, like A332, A333 or B753 or (<4000nm)
501 - 999: Very Large Long Range aircraft for long range flights: 747-400, 777-300 or A340-600 (<6000nm)
1000+: They get an A380-800 to fly anything


Just a thought. That's a lot to keep track of and by the end each pilot when they're a Legendary would own 7 planes.

And just to keep it fair, I would be willing to start over at 0 hours.

I think thats an excellent idea, Stan - it's well thought out and i like the incentives it brings to the newer members for them to contribute more flying hours.

The only problem, being, new pilots have nothing stopping them flying whatever they wish, all they have to do is spawn in the aircraft and enter the flight no. in a 747 and away they go.

I think this might be an idea to ask phil, with the new AFTS3 coming into place, it could have a system where the admins of the airline can allow certain pilots to fly different aircraft.

Thanks again for your input.

Yeah you're definitely spot on. This isn't possible to enforce without more enhancements to AFTS. Well, for now, I think the 1 ac / pilot is a fine idea.

Okay Stan, we shall adopt that idea when the new system comes out, if that suggestion comes into place.

yes i think this idea would make things seem very realistic so a defenate to ask for, i would also be happy to start at 0

Could I have the G-JMAA 753? It's already in Seattle Tacoma where I usually fly from on routes, and I also use the aircaft a lot.

Okay, we'l keep that aircraft, but be sure to check our new fleet list on the new site, we only run the 752 from now.

Ok thanks!
So I can still fly routes with the 753 or no?

James

Good to speak to you again after so long.

Right, just getting used to the new stuff. It looks like I need a ride! Can I have the 733 (G-CELX)? as it seems no-one else has it? Seems to be at Vancouver at the moment which is fine.

Sean

Yes - of course.

Remember, any aircraft that have not been reserved above, anyone can fly them, anywhere.

Sorry if I change aircraft too quickly but may my aircraft be changed to
G-DEFG AIRBUS A319? Thank you for everything.

Hiya I was wondering if I can have for my aircraft: Boeing B738 Tail Number:G-EZKA as this the the plane I always fly with lol.

I also apologise for not being around recently as well (I have had a few things going on) but should be active this week to start earning us some cash

Cheers even though it's a diff tail number it's the same model aircraft so thats fine

My mistake, fixed now

I wouldn't be too sure what i'd go for :S I had a 737 when i was in Celtic Aer which got me around the uk and europe but most of the flights i did were long haul and so i had to borrow someone elses 747.

I'd like to switch to G-BYTH Airbus 320. I think jujuppeke will take the G-DEFG airbus. Thanks for everything.

I've made the update but will wait for juju to respond with that request.

YeYeYE i like the A319.
Thanks to switch constantine.
For me please the A319 G-DEFG.
Happy Greetings Jujuppeke

Funny thing is, you two are the only 2 airbus drivers
