Compass: In There for the Long Haul

small logo

We are celebrating our tenth year all year long!

Welcome to the special celebrations for out tenth birthday! We're pretty proud that we've lasted this long and that we're still going strong, 10 years is a long time in the Virtual Airline world, where most startups don't see the first couple of months, let alone the first year. We're heading for our first decade and we've decided to celebrate with a year long festival of long haul flights.

Each month from 11th September 2010 (the day after our 9th Birthday) until 10th September 2011 (when we hit double figures) we'll celebrate by doing one of the things that Compass set out to do from the very beginning, long haul flights. We'll finish up with the final three flights being a long haul marathon around the globe in just two stops with a series of connected flights Sydney-Los Angeles - Dubai - Sydney. On each of these legs the Compass team will reveal the special liveries we've created just for our 10th Birthday.

 

Timings, other useful stuff.

The flights will take place on a Saturday, put aside the whole day, as some of these flights are long ones. Your loved ones will need to be advised in advance. We'll try and start early in the morning Austraian time (in ZULU time this will usually be the day before, so work it out carefully) so we're done early evening to let people head out, that may get you a few brownine points back with the Chief Flight Attendant. During the flight we'll usually fire up on the Compass company frequency (130.25 rw1.vatpac.org/compass_ops) for a yack along the way.

Equipment: These flights vary in length, a few of the longer ones will only suit the B77W / B77L / A345 / A388 while most will be manageable in the B744. A few will be possible in the MD11 or the B763. We are hoping that PMDG may have their B777 out early in 2011, if not our FSX pilots will be a little limited for choice of aircraft. Even the longest flight should be possible in the B744 with really light loads.

As always we want lots of screen shots of each and every leg. Post your screen shots to the special screen shot forum. If you're not a Compass member, no problems, but you'll still have to register for our forums to post. If you can't bring yourself to register, but would like to submit an image or video then email it to c......@compass-virtual.net
