To All Of Our Pilots,

June was another good month for SimAirline.net. Our major remaining problems with the new roster system were solved, and we hope to have the rest worked out by the end of the month. Although we didn't reach our monthly goals for last month (we need to hire Fleet Managers for Icelandair, Pan American, and South African), we will be opening Thai Virtual very soon, since we did fulfill our goals for May.

Varig Update
As you may know, Varig is in severe financial distress in the real world, and may cease operations in the near future. We do have contingency plans in place in case this happens, and will continue to operate Varig Virtual, although we may need to suspend our own operations temporarily to implement a new flight schedule.

Emirates Switches Timetables
Emirates Virtual is the latest virtual airline to switch to a downloadable timetable. At this time, fourteen of our twenty-five virtual airlines use timetable programs. When SimAirline.net is operating all thirty-two virtual airlines, we expect nineteen to be using timetable programs, and only seven will have timetables that require updating to reflect the latest flight schedule.

Contributions Update
SimAirline.net still needs $415.40 to fulfill its contributions goal for the year. You can learn more about how to contribute here.

Virtual Airline of the Month - Midway Virtual
This month's featured virtual airline is Midway Virtual, our second virtual airline and first to be based in the U.S. More information on Midway Virtual, including selected screenshots, can be found here.

Most of the new routes for summer have been added, but I hope you enjoy those yet to come. Thank you as always for contributing to our success.
