So I have been (3-4 years) considering flying on Vatsim network, and got excited with the Cross the Land Westwards event coming up.

Low and behold they had OJAI to LOWW, and I figured I would do an RJA 147 flight online as I do at least two weekly flights on the route offline.

Sadly, no RJA (Royal Jordanian Airlines) exists in the Airlines Listings, but it seems there are a few flights with the RJA code.

I am confused because of the fact that this is the case. Am I able to do a flight in an event or online without belonging to an VA?

All flights I am interested in are booked so no worries for this event, but I am asking for future reference as I do indeed need to find a VA to settle into.

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You can fly any airline you want and controllers will call the right name....you can put in the comments "Callsign - Royal Jordanian", the only problem is that other Vatsim pilots may not see your livery properly.  Some will have RJA AI models in their sim and will see it fine, otherwise it gets substituted for some other airline on their computer.  

Thanks Mark.

Not worried about who seems me so long as I can fly the airline itself.

I just assumed that I had to belong to a VA to be able to do these events. Great to see that I can do so as a loner.

Will look for more events for the future.
