Real as it gets mission idea

Postby RitterKreuz » Fri Jan 26, 2007 12:47 am

I have a real as it gets mission idea for the airline pilot - use a 737-800 - the player would have to play in real time  ::)

the mission would start at 11am on a monday and the player would have to fly From Seattle to LAX, when you get to LAX you are informed that your gate is occupied and you have to taxi to a spot and sit for 25 minutes. When your gate opens up the controller clears you to the gate and you taxi up BUT the rampers are in the middle of a shift change so it takes an additional 15 minutes to get anyone out to the gate to martial you in. You get to the gate and the same shift change has resulted in no jet bridge operator. it takes them 5 minutes to show up. Once you get  on the gate and deplane you have a quick 25 minute turn back to Seattle. Since you left Seattle, Seatac international has settled into a heavy rain with 1200 RVR overcast at around 250 feet so you get put into holding for about 45 minutes while arrivals trickle in. You get down and have a 2 or 3 hour break then go back to LAX with a 25 minute turn around departing for Houston, Texas... you get into Houston at around 11pm and shoot an approach into rough South Texas weather. Once you get there crew scheduling calls and tells you that because the delay into houston was weather related they arent willing to extend your overnight by an extra hour or two and take a delay in the AM.

You have to wake up at 4:30 am and head out to Houston for a trip back to LAX. You are late getting off the gate because the tug that is supposed to push you off the gate breaks down. you get a new one and make it back to LAX. everything goes smoothly. you deplane and reload and head back to home base in seattle. where you get the next 2 days off... EXCEPT when you get on the gate at Seattle crew scheduling extends you to do a billings Montana turn because Capt. Lazyarse called in sick and they are out of reserves for the day... you finally get back from billings (its snowing like hell there) and you land in seattle (again 1200 rvr overcast at 250 with 40 minutes holding) and you get to the gate the chief pilot calls and wants you to come into his office and explain why your flight out of billings blocked out "one minute late" and you better have a good reason too.

what do you think?  ;D
