To All Of Our Pilots,

I'm pleased to announce that Varig Virtual will complete its restructuring in the next week and offer the flights of the airline from nearly a decade ago. These operations will offer pilots access to the largest airline network in South America, both within the continent and overseas. I hope you enjoy the new Varig Virtual.

Time Zone Reminder
Because many countries in the world shift time zones this month because of daylight saving time, we strongly recommend that you file a PIREP immediately after flying a flight and that you always check for current time zone information at the World Time Server.

New Monthly Records
I'm pleased to report that three new organization records were set last month. A new record for flight hours per pilot was set (21:37 vs. 20:06 previously), as well as PIREPs for both Air Tahiti Nui (61 vs. 55) and AOM (36 vs. 29).

Management Hiring
SimAirline.net only needs to fill three management positions before we can expand to include Pan American Virtual: British Airways Manager, Icelandair Manager, and Midway Manager. We are also hiring for the positions of Aircraft Developer, Interim VA Manager, and Scenery Developer. More information on each of these positions is available here.

Contributions Update
SimAirline.net still needs only $142.67 to reach its contributions goal for the year. Please consider helping to ensure SimAirline.net's future. You can learn more here.

Virtual Airline of the Month - Copa Virtual
This month's featured virtual airline is our first Latin American virtual airline, Copa Virtual, which is based on the largest airline in the region. More information on Copa, including selected screenshots, can be found here.

Our management team is considering a number of improvements to SimAirline.net that would be announced and implemented in 2007. In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying what we have to offer now. Thank you as always for flying for us.
