I am having the same problems. Everytime I load the 737-6/700, it asks me for my activation key. Everytime I exit flight back to FS main, it asks me again for the activation key.I suppose I should open a ticket as well? Shouldn't there be a blanket fix for this?

Slipstream Virtual Airways Press ReleasePress Release - For Immediate Circulation Los Angeles, CA - Monday, June 22, 2009 - This morning Slipstream Airways announced the finalization of a trade deal with Pacific West Airways. The arrangement involves the trade of Slipstream's fleet of seven Boeing 717-200 aircraft in exchange for four Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. An undisclosed financial aspect of the deal has also been completed and will be announced to stock holders later this week."This is an arrangement that works well for both airlines and complements the growth plan of each very well," stated Slipstream CEO Bobby Allison. "Because the production line of 717's ceased some time ago, it has always been in our plan to replace these airframes. While the rest of our specific airframe fleet continues to grow, the 717 fleet has been left behind. Pacific West on the other hand, has a large and healthy fleet of 717's and this will complement them very well." Because the 717 is not being produced any more, there are limited options for procuring more, and most major 717 user airlines have to rely on acquiring modest batches from other airlines, as is the case here."Slipstream is also benefiting from this deal," Allison continued. Slipstream is looking to expand its fleet of 767-300ER aircraft for long range domestic and international ops in the 250-seat market. Additional acquistions directly from Boeing have been hinted, but not publicly discussed. Senior Vice President for Operations, Chris Comeau, added "it was never our intention to hold onto the 717's for very long. But it is quite sad in many way to see them go. They were part of the start-up of this airline." Mr. Comeau continued, "our plan is to replace those 717's with 737-500 aircraft. With our current fleet of the -500 model, this is a definite plus from a maintenance standpoint. Fleet commonality is what airlines strive for in order to save on maintenance costs, and that is where we are succeeding. Efficiency is the name of the game in today's airline market." Slipstream officials noted that this would be their final pull of mothballed 737-500 aircraft, acquired previously from the former version of PWA. In all, 13 aircraft will be pulled, seven will be for a one-to-one exchange of the 717's on current routes, and an additional 6 to supplement the fleet at each hub. "This is our last pull from the mothballed aircraft. The aircraft are in excellent condition, all are manufactured in 1995, unfortunately, we have no more left to pull."The seven Boeing 717-200 aircraft will be handed over to Pacific West Airways on June 29th and 30th. The Boeing 737-500's have already undergone modifications some time ago, so there will be minimal work left in order to replace the 717's on current routes. Slipstream is taking possession of the 767's this week, and after repainting and interior re-design, the aircraft will begins operations in mid-to-late July.Near the end of the announcement, Mr. Allison hinted that there will be more exciting announcements about the future of the airline later this week and next. So stay tuned!The Boeing 717-200 will not be leaving Slipstream Airways all together. The aircraft will join the airline's heritage fleet.About Slipstream Virtual AirwaysHome officed in Los Angeles, California, Slipstream Airways commenced commercial operations in July 2006 with 3 Boeing 717-200's and 11 Boeing 737-700's.

Los Angeles, CA - Monday, February 23, 2009 - Slipstream Virtual Airways is proud to announce the opening of its new air cargo division, Slipstream Global Logistics. Slipstream CEO Bobby Allison also announced that leading this new venture would be led by former Executive President Tyler Johnson. Effective today, Mr. Johnson has made the move to become General Manager, Slipstream Global Logistics. Flight operations are set to begin May 9th of this year.Los Angeles International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will serve as the cargo hubs for Slipstream Global Logistics (SGL). Initial rumors were that the airline would choose a hub separate from their current passenger hubs, but that rumor was put to rest today with the public announcement. "With their [Los Angeles and Atlanta] coastal locations, proximity to maritime shipping, interstate system and railways, they are just an absolute logical choice for us," stated Mr. Johnson. "We already have an established presence and good standing with both airports. They have room for us, they want us there, and we want to be there."SGL will operate with a fleet of four Boeing 747-400F's, four McDonnell Douglas MD-11F's and one McDonnell Douglas MD-11C. The four Boeing 747-400F aircraft have been acquired through the Boeing Company, by taking advantage of an order cancellation from Philippine Airlines. After some minor conversions for SGL, deliveries of the four 747-400F's will run through April."Timing is everything in this business, and our timing has been great. Evolving plans have been on the table for some time now, and with acquisition attempts that fell through last year, it was great to see things really fall into place over the last few months. 2009 really looks to be our year." Mr. Johnson was speaking of the airline's acquisition of the MD-11 airframes through Sky Holdings(v). Plans had been in place for the 747-400F acquistion, but the desired MD-11F's seemed out of reach. Then in January 2009, the Italian airline Alitalia's cargo cargo division closed, and their five MD-11F's were returned to their lessor. All five aircraft were manufactured between 1991 and 1992 and delivered as MD-11C's to Alitalia, the only customer for that variant. In 2005 and 2006 they were converted to full freighters and operated by Alitalia Cargo before the closure. One MD-11F is currently undergoing conversion back to MD-11C standard per Slipstream's request. The MD-11C will be used for military passenger trunk routes to Ramstein Air Base, Germany and Kuwait International Airport from Atlanta, as well as special freight/passenger charter services.Current plans are to base two B747-400F's and two MD-11F's at each hub to operate regular freight routes. Routings have not yet been finalized, due to some negotiations just recently reaching their final stages for a few of the planned international airports. Mr. Johnson did mention that Europe and Asia will be major cargo destinations for the airline, due to major interest from new clients.MD-11C: Passenger Load: 410 (1 class) 214 (2 class) 181 (3 class) Cargo Load: 6 palletsEngine: (3x) General Electric CF6-80C2D1FMD-11F:Cargo Load: 26 palletsEngine: (3x) General Electric CF6-80C2D1FB744F:Cargo Load: 30 pallets (Main Deck), 32 LD-1 containers (Lower Deck)Engine: (4x) General Electric CF6-80C2B5FAbout Slipstream Virtual AirwaysHome officed in Los Angeles, California, Slipstream Airways commenced commercial operations in July 2006 with 3 Boeing 717-200's and 11 Boeing 737-700's.
