Half way point December 2015

[UAL021 Joerg Schwuchow]

Dear colleagues ...

I am very proud of your hard work in the first half if this current month. It looks like we are onto something big again: passing the "Magic Number of 1,000 hrs." as a part of the announced 8,000 hrs. VA goal.

As of December 15, 2015 0600z Denver pilots have accumulated ...

648 hrs.
197 flights
243,478 nm

That is right on target. I´d like to suggest some goals for our hub

1,300 hrs.
450 flights.
500,000 nm.

I know we have some short hoppers and some long haulers here in Denver. I consider myself the later (believe me: my butt is flat and my wife is mad )... so we should be able to set a mark as a very strong finish to an outstanding year for our VA and the KDEN hub as part of it.

Most of all I would like to see a month where I do not have to create a Cut List. Guys, just do at least the required one flight a month - that would be the icing of the cake - a No Cut Month.

So Sirs ... get your engines started and lets Rock-and-Roll.

See you in the virtual skies ... preferably on VATSIM ...

... December 26th, 2015 04:30z KDEN Pilots received the "Triple Crown".

UAL260 Jim Overturf helped us passing the magic 1,000 hrs. mark on his way to the beautiful islands of Hawaii. All of you have done an amazing job. Thank you for your hard work and commitment.

With five days left in 2015 I would like to encourage you to continue flying and set new marks for Denver pilots.

1,300 hrs. (currently 1,014.6)
450 flights (currently 316)
500,000 nm (currently 384,394)

It´ll be tough but you can do it ...

See you in the virtual skies ...

This post is ancient and should be deleted. This pilot hasn't completed a flight since 2018. Time to cut all the dead weight from the roster as well. This place has become stagnant.
