To All Of Our Pilots,

After filling all of our critical management positions at the end of the month and meeting one of our operational goals, I'm pleased to announce that construction on Pan American Virtual will begin this month. Following Pan American, the next virtual airline in expansion is Frontier Airlines, which will require the same goals (as described on the Statistics page) to be met.

With the recent release of FS X, our management is working on testing our downloads for compatibility with the new simulator. We will be updating our aircraft pages to include information on simulator compatibility over the next few months.

New Monthly Records
I'm pleased to report that Alitalia Virtual set a new record for PIREPs last month with 152 flights. The previous record was 132, and made Alitalia our fourth busiest virtual airline in October.

Management Hiring
Although all our required positions are filled, more management is always important to ensure our future success. We are currently hiring for the positions of Aircraft Developer, Scenery Developer, Interim VA Manager, and British Airways Manager. More information on each of these positions is available here.

Contributions Update
We're closing in on our contributions goal of $1000 (U.S.) for 2006. So far we have raised $893.00, but we need your help to make sure that SimAirline.net has a strong financial future. Please consider contributing here.

Virtual Airline of the Month - Virtual British Airways
The featured virtual airline for November is Virtual British Airways, our largest European virtual airline. Our U.K. members have always been among our strongest supporters, and SimAirline.net is proud to be offering the flights of the country's largest airline. More information on British Airways, including selected screenshots, can be found here.

I hope you enjoy the newest addition to SimAirline.net, Pan American Virtual, when it opens. I think you'll be very excited about some of the new features we will offer in our most global virtual airline yet.
