I'll start at estimating at least 100 pilots PSA will be lifers. Basing the people who arent flowing that can flow over, some of the comair sim instructors and the 60+folks who will likely retire within the next 5 years.

Great question ? Can I also ask you what version of flight simulator you are currently playing as well ?

Well for the longest time I was running FS9. Better performance, more mod support, much wider range of add on aircraft. FSX has FINALLY caught up, so I notified my VA (Virtual American, thank you) that I would running the new software. Now that some of the bugs have been worked out, I have a better computer to run it on, and the modding scene improved I've been strictly on the current version.

What software are you on? FSX? Oh no, you aren't an xPlane nerd are you?

Fsx. I actually can master the 747 and 380. I practice my flows everyday. I have my own virtual flight crew and do long hauls across the globe on the weekends just for fun. No big deal.

Dropping 747's from B-52 motherships and shuttle re-entries are where it's at. You haven't really flown an F-4 until you've folded its wings in flight. In fact, Flight Sim doesn't even have Mars flying!

If you want it hang in there. I was thinking the same thing until the email came back in April. Network, update and keep smiling. Good things will happen.
