Canadian Xpress® 5 Year Anniversary Tour
|
|
Introduction
Five years ago, a small group of dedicated flight simulator enthusiasts, found themselves looking for a new place to call home. Lots of ideas went back and forth and four months later with the simple slogan Fly Virtually Anywhere!™, Canadian Xpress® was born. In those short five years, Canadian Xpress® has grown from a small startup virtual airline with more aircraft than pilots, to a well known virtual airline within the online flight simulator community, hosting more than a hundred events a year, and currently the only VATSIM Canadian virtual airline authorized training organization (ATO) that allows us to train, evaluation and issue VATSIM P1 & P2 pilot ratings. All this hard work hasn't gone unnoticed as in early 2013 and 2017, Canadian Xpress® was named Sky Blue Radio's virtual airline of the year.
Today, Canadian Xpress® has approximately 200 pilots, a fleet of 53 aircraft and is managed by a team of 16 virtual pilots that range from real world commercial pilots, to VATSIM/IVAO network supervisors and ATC instructors.
To celebrate our 5 years of operation, Canadian Xpress® is going on a tour that consists of 13 legs and a 38,739 nautical mile trip around the world.
The Canadian Xpress® 5 Year Anniversary World Tour starts at our headquarters in Montreal where you will pick up one of our Boeing C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and begin your journey around the world.
All Canadian Xpress® pilots that successfully complete the tour will receive 25 bonus hours as well as the Canadian Xpress® 5 Year Anniversary Tour Award that will appear in their Pilot Details section of the Pilot Roster.
