In what has been a banner year for VATSTAR, I am proud to announce another milestone. We have handed out our 500th certification! Rob Shearman, our Chief Flight Instructor, has notified our CEO Alex Caballero and myself that Dave Seminchuk has been given the 500th certification given by VATSTAR. This comes on the heels of our 2nd anniversary and we couldn't be more excited of what we have been able to accomplish in those two short years. We still have the distinction of being the only standalone ATO on the VATSIM network to offer the P1 through P5 ratings; our CFI Rob Shearman is a pivotal part of working towards the Oceanic certification; the opening of our European division; continuing to bring new and experienced pilots to the PC pilot world; and our continued effort to bring on new partnerships with VA's and ARTCCS. Watch for an upcoming celebration flight to be announced soon! This is just the beginning!

Southwest Virtual Airlines was formed in June 2009 by a collaboration of Ryan Flynn, Steve Cocks, Kevin Hornaday and Tony Pitt. All four individuals had a desire to be a part of a virtual airline that was welcoming and realistic at the same time. Over the course of almost two and a half years, Southwest Virtual has grown to almost 400 pilots and has a heavy online presence. Southwest Virtual's growth has not been just about numbers; our pilots today are active, experienced, and most importantly, give back to the community that helped them grow. At it's formation, Southwest Virtual set forth five imperatives. This is common of many organizations, but at Southwest Virtual, we have woven those imperatives into our very existence. In every decision we make, we examine if our decision blends with one of our five imperatives. Imperative number three states, "Great weight shall be placed on providing incentives for online flying (VATSIM), as well as the necessary training for those pilots wishing to learn the how best to participate in online flying." With the strides we have made in recruiting and hiring skilled Instructors and Trainers, we are not only helping our new pilots get online, but assisting our entire pilot base to become better and enjoy our hobby even more. We are now an Official VATSIM ATO, so come get your P1 rating with us!One of the key points is that you have to be a Second Officer or above in order to participate.
