Virtual-USAairways Joins Saturday Scramble Partnership
CHICAGO/MONTREAL/TEMPE, July 16, 2006 -- United Virtual Airlines and Virtual Air Canada announced today that Virtual-USAairways is now fully integrated into operations of the ongoing Saturday afternoon VATSIM group event, The Saturday Scramble. Combined, the three virtual airlines count more than 1,700 pilots. This brings a very large base of potential participants to an online event.
The Scramble starts with departures from several airports in the current Virtual-USAairways, Air Canada and United Airlines schedules. All converge on the same destination, arriving at the scheduled times. This provides a steady flow of traffic during the arrival period, and closely simulates real world airline operations. Participating pilots may also choose to depart from the destination airport.
VATSIM members, whether members of virtual airlines or not, are welcome to join in The Scramble. If a member of a virtual airline, follow your company procedures for flying and filing your flight.

About Virtual-USAairways:
We are a group of US Airways enthusiasts who like US Airways and the aircraft they operate.
The airline was formed on January 16, 2004 by its founder Mike Schmitt, USA1001. Our Virtual Airline is geared for those pilots who eagerly seek to fly as realistically as Flight Simulator will allow.
The New Virtual-USAairways allows all of our pilots to fly any US Airways, America West and STAR ALLIANCE airline partner’s schedules, giving our pilots many choices for destinations, routes and aircraft types.
Currently, the airline has openings for pilots at all experience levels. Qualifications are: be at least 13 Years of age, have a valid email address, be active in our forums, be committed to flying at least two flights a month and a willingness to FLY and have fun. That’s it. If this is what you are looking for, then why not “Forget The Rest, Come Fly For The Best!” See us at www.virtual-usaairways.com.
About Virtual Air Canada:
Virtual Air Canada is a community of flight simulator pilots who want more realism added to their flights. The virtual airline tries to simulate reality as closely as possible, and therefore strives to simulate actually working for an airline. Virtual Air Canada is a 100% non-profit organization and is currently Canada's leading virtual airline. Founded in April 1998, Virtual Air Canada has been in Canada's virtual skies for more than 8 years. Virtual Air Canada has a long and deep history within the virtual airline community, and many of today's virtual airline executives began their career at Virtual Air Canada. Virtual Air Canada has been nominated for many awards over the years including Best Airline, Best Fleet, Best Website, Best Executive and Best Pilot.
We offer pilots the chance to really experience flying for a real world airline. If you live on the approach path to your local airport, there is nothing like landing that 767 in flight simulator while looking out the window seeing the real flight land at the exact same time. Now that's putting yourself in the pilots seat! Visit Virtual Air Canada at www.vacanada.org or the Virtual Air Canada Online Division (Webflyers) at www.vacanada.webflyers.org.
