From the release of the aircraft until July 15, 2024 @ 2359 Central, pick up the shiny new 777-300ER at PAE and deliver it to any of our 777 bases (CLT, DFW, JFK, LAX, and MIA) with one of our scheduled repositioning flights built into our system. Pilots who complete each leg will receive a special award to display on their profile to commemorate the occasion. We are also celebrating the release of our brand new website and pilot portal which was just rolled out yesterday! What is displayed now is a culmination of over a year of hard work from our staff and beta teams to provide an elevated experience to our members. From now until July 15, 2024 @ 2359 Central, we are "CAT FREE" meaning any pilot may fly any aircraft in our system regardless of their type ratings held (keep in mind that all other parts of the SOPPHB remain in effect even during CAT FREE times). This will allow everyone to take part in the excitement of the PMDG 777-300ER release and explore the globe on one of our many scheduled flights. Keep an eye out for the release of the aircraft which is currently scheduled for tomorrow! Within an hour of them releasing the aircraft, the special PAE flights will go live. Happy flying 😎
