July 10, 200619 yr Pacific West Airways began as a thought and endeavor by Don Krutewicz, an decade-old Flight Simulation enthusiast. Working then as an Operations Director for a prominent virtual airline, Don envoked on his quest to develop an airline that offered what was neglected in the hobby: REALISM.Beginning with two failed airlines (Atlantic International Airways and Oceana Airlines), Don met with Pacific West co-founder Dave Bielsker during the summer of 1998. It was then that Pacific West was born. Pacific West operates on the all-around philosophy of offering pilots a realistic, challenging and entertaining flight environment using Flight Simulator. Working on the premise that PWA will provide the most realistic airline operation (as close to the real world as possible), PWA has attracted more than three thousand virtual aviators from around the world. Joining Pacific West as pilots, staff members or contributors, pilots from the West Coast of the United States to Europe to South Africa fly for PWA at this moment. Operating more than 2,000 flights a day from four main Operation Centers and three Satelite Centers. PWA was awarded Best Airline of the Year in 1999 and 2000, and received more than 15 awards in it's four year history including Best Website, Best Paint Scheme, Best Fleet and Best Employee. Some of these awards were presented back-to-back in '99 and 2000.Still, to this day, Pacific West continues to be at the forefront of the Virtual Aviation industry, constantly offering the most services, flights and enjoyable environment possible for the more than 100,000 virtual pilots currently flying today.
