Default What Happenned To Missing Routes In VASF4??

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

This Thursday night, VATCAR is having mind blowing super endurance adrenaline-pumping TJSJ event that I have been looking forward to for past weeks!!

I looked at the flight choices to TJSJ on VASF4 to pick for this event to fly. I am d that the two flights MTPP to TJSJ and SKSG to TJSJ are no longer in the flight list.

I just want to make sure it is not VASF4 malfunction and those two missing flights are removed by Jon.

Can anyone verify this please? I like those two flights to TJSJ.

Also I believe the third flight to TJSJ from TBPB is missing from VASF4 too. Can anybody verify that it is not VASF4 error and it is result of removal by Jon???

Thanks,

Aharon

We (the airline) had a shakedown of routes that we wanted to see used.

It was therefore decided that we shall cut a lot of routes and prefer to have greater frequency than route spread.

Our B752s of the Cargo Division have been put back to our base up a KFLL and use them out of there.


However, if asked nicely, we may put a route or 2 back into for this event, but they will not be permenant.

Shalom William,

I see

Thanks for reply!!

I was looking for nice 90 minute flight to TJSJ from any Caribbean destination via 757-200W or 757-200F with winglets. VASF4 has two flights to TJSJ but their 2.5 hour flights are too long for Thursday night which means Friday is a workday requiring waking up early am.

That was why I was looking for TBPB-TJSJ and MTPP-TJSJ that Cayman Airways had before.

In my personal opinion, I think TBPB to TJSJ is very scenic flight as it goes through two major islands with major airports on way to TJSJ.

If doable and possible, please see what you can do to use your Caribbean aviation expertise to suggest and create a very scenic 90 minute Caribbean flight via 757 from a Caribbean island to TJSJ flying past major islands with major airports for exciting screenshot taking from FL350.

Or I think TBPB to TJSJ fits that ideal flight unless you have better suggestion based on your Caribbean aviation expertise.

If not, I will be forced to use MWCR to TJSJ which is 2.3 hours and hope 777-200LR's high cruising speed at mach 0.87 will cut it to 1.7 hour.

Or maybe create new TNCA to TJSJ flight which will take me through Curacao affording me nice view of Curacao island.

All I want to do is to participate in VATCAR's TJSJ event this Thursday using any 90 minute flight.

Thanks,

Aharon

Jeremy,

I fail to comprehend what is so funny? I find it sad that the finest virtual airline is forced to cut back on routes within Caribbean.

Anyway, new problem for me that might prevent me from participating in Vatcar event tonight. Just found out last night that internet service was down and still down today as when I went out today, I could see three phone company trucks working on my neighborhood and the repairmen told me that there was something wrong with the underground lines that they had been trying to pinpoint for 2 days to find and repair!!!

ARRGGHHHHH Vatcar is having a rare evening vatsim (they always offer afternoon events) and the internet service is now down which is one in one zillion odds that it happens!!!

Aharon

Thanks Williams,

Much appreciated!! Now I am PRAYING that the phone company manage to find and pinpoint the underground lines to do emergency repairs to bring internet service back before VATCAR event at very rare evening time or I will be REAL PISSED. I have spent LONG TIME waiting for Vatcar to offer evening event within Caribbean!!!

With much thanks,

Aharon

very funny

Don't blame on me. Blame on phone company and demote them for having very very very very rare malfunction on internet lines!!! It was one on one zillion odds that it malfunctioned. So amazing to see three huge phone repair trucks with many repairmen going into underground to look around!!!

And if you are in Williamstead, Curacao at this moment, you can go to the oldest temple in western hemisphere and pray for me to get my internet service back!!!!

Hope to see all of you in that event if I get internet service back!!

Aharon
