Let me know if you guys need any additional slots filled. Noticed quite a few open on the schedule.

No experience in the RW aircraft, but have about 35 hours in the full 737 sim. Also typed in the CL-65 (not that that will help).


p.s. Bob, sent you an email last month, not sure if you got it.



We have room, jump in! Sorry things have been nuts here since I changed jobs.

I understand how that goes. I can take 1538, 1539, 1544, and 1545 as of now. May be able to come in earlier and help with Wednesday/Thursday, but won't know till next month.

Hi Colin,

Sorry I didn't have you on the roster.  1538 and 1539 were already spoken for through email last week, I just updated the list, and Kyle is right, depending how the week goes we usually assign the last flight at the event because it is an extra special flight.  Are there any other flights you would be available for?

Also, I will look over the next week to see what flights I want to take, Bob and I have to pick ours, but usually we end up doing the ones others don't want.

Trevor,

Currently we are GMT -4 with daylight savings time.
At the time change in November we will then be going to GMT -5hrs for standard time.

I wouldn't try to be ahead of the other teams. We should be trying to fly on schedule. Pilots need to be ready to go into the sim 1/2 hr before scheduled departure time.
Everyone else is flying in the same environment.

If anything we should be talking with the worldflight organizers/vatsim about the issues last year.

Kyle, can you look at the roster and let me know what needs to happen?  I think I have fixed it, but just to make sure, can you check to see if my list is still wrong?

Is there an updated schedule I could see? Looks like the one on the website still isn't updated. But when I do see a schedule, i'll pick some flights.

Tickets are purchased and I am starting to get pretty excited about WF this year! If any of you folks have pictures of the facility, lets post a few in a new thread so the new guys can see what they are in for. I thought I had a bunch but it seems I do not. I will keep looking. Also we are starting to talk about a menu so if you have ideas lets get them.

RayS

Would LOVE to post pics of the sim, Sam and the facility. Is that ok with Sam? If so, I have some pics.. ;-)

Here's one of my favs:

FOR THOSE PILOTS IN THE USA ONLY,

You can make your donations and please send me proof of donation to keep your place on the schedule.  CLICK HERE
For those of you outside of the USA please hang tight, as they need to update the campaign to allow international donations.

Are there any special instructions or comments that have to be added so it is shown as our total?

Hi Kyle, No none this year as the campaign ID of 34 is strictly for us..  This is how they track the total.

Hi Doug,

This year and past years we didn't set a minimum.  Many of us can afford different levels of donations.  All we ask is to consider how many flights you will be making and what that experience would cost you normally if you were to have to purchase it and make your donation accordingly.

What you can afford (no more-No Less)

Our goal is to raise as much if not more than last years total of $3,000.00 USD.  I know we are late this year, but I would love to see $5K for this years donation total.

Hey Trevor,
Couple of things,
I will split my donation into 2 or 3 parts.

When will donations be open to the public? I want to post a link on my Facebook page as I already have friends that said they will donate. :)

Hi Rob,

They are open to the public now, but I am still waiting for them to change the Campaign to allow foreign donations.  right now it seems to be only open to USA Residence.

Hey Trevor,
Do we have anyway to see how we are doing against our donation goal as a team...like a big thermometer or something?

I would be happy to generate a spreadsheet and associated graphic if we have a place to post it...maybe facebook?

Trevor Hale

Hi Greg sorry sadly no. The only way is for us to email ACH and get updates. The hard part is the communication with ACH is very hit and miss. I have been trying with Bob to get them to allow international donations and that seems to be going by the wayside. This is now our third year with the all children's hospital and I would have thought communication would have gotten better unfortunately it has gone the other way.

That's ok though, I am sure they will get it sorted out soon.

Sorry to hear ACH is not easy to deal with.

We could still build a tracker based on the reported donations to you if that is of interest.

I could post the graphic to the Facebook page once a week.

Not a big deal, but if you decide you want one, let me know and I'll be glad to generate it.

Hi Guys,

In preparation for our WFT2015 I found this helpful video that describes and minimizes pilot workload, the checklist we have on the simulator is the original checklist supplied by Boeing similar to this one but without this changes but I believe this video is crucial to have an understanding of flows and procedures.

Cheers!
Sam

Hey Sam,

I should have the revised checklists for you soon.
I'll also have a training document done to go with it sometime after.

I'm also about halfway finished with the ATC Workflow diagram to assist those of us who are afflicted with the dreaded Mic-Fright.
