Announcing the New West Express!

Postby ua757 » Thu Dec 01, 2005 7:10 pm

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce that West Express is restructuring in an effort to bring more simplicity and refinement to the airline. Our preliminary plan is drawn out below. After several months of trying to make the old structure work, I came to the realization that I simply don't have time with college. So, instead of just walking away, I thought it would be better to simply redesign the airline to work around my schedule. We will be offering a lot of automated services that will allow the staff to plan more fun events instead of counting hours. With that, here is the new plan:

Fleet
Embraer 170 (GE)
Boeing 737-700 (CFM)
Boeing 737-800 (CFM)
Boeing 757-200 (PW)

At least one example of each fleet type has been painted in our new livery (see below).  The rest of the active fleet will be painted before the airline reopens.



Service

Our intial operations will be based in Los Angeles (also the location of our corporate headquarters).  

Initial Routes (dep. LAX)
Albuquerque, NM (KABQ) (4x)
Calgary, Alberta (CYYC) (4x)
Chicago (O

As is clearly stated in the sign-up page and the image upload page you cannot link images here. We have had a great deal of trouble because of this. If you don't like it that is your problem, if you have an issue that is your issue. If you don't post here again that is your decision.
However we have our rules for a reason and if you can't be bothered to read/abide by them then we will deal with your misdemeanours accordingly.

You'll understand when the linked image / site eventually gets abandoned and then tied into something like a porno site...... and the "rating" of the SimV thread then goes from "general aviation" to "mature audeinces only".   ;)

Personally, if the real reason is that ImageShack might become a porno site...well, that just seems like extreme paranoia to me.  Ah well...I'm not gonna argue.

Seriously though...the chance of some outside website turning into a porno site and then using the exact same filenames as my (or anyone elses) images is less than that of winning the lottery guys.  Doesn't ImageShack add those extra letters at the end to help prevent this as well?

usa757,

Sorry.... wasn't quoting every reason that this policy deals with...... just one of the most "graphic"  (pun intended  ;)).

With a linked image, we would then depend on the "security" for someone "hacking" even a single image on that site on the owners/moderators of the external site.  It removes our "local control".  

best,

.......john
