Hub Operations Page
Welcome to the WestWind Airlines Hub Operations Page! All WestWind Hubs are state-of-the-art operations,
structured to maximize pilots' flying time by minimizing their "paper work"
time. This structure grants each pilot maximized route flexibility, best tailored to their
non-virtual schedules.
Benefits of this system include:
- Pilots can fly regional, domestic, international or any combination of the three route
types.
- Pilots use Microsoft Flight Simulator log book to track their WestWind flight hours,
rather than rely on management to do this.
- Pilots must submit at least one PIREP each month containing their TOTAL
WESTWIND HOURS TO DATE. They may submit more if they
wish. If a PIREP is not submitted for two months, the pilot will be taken off the
Active Pilot Roster.
- Pilots send themselves to WestWind's Training Center for type-rating upgrades as they
complete advancement requirements. Once a pilot has passed Cat V, they will be
promoted automatically based on their hours.
Each Hub is headed by a Hub Manager who is in charge of day-to-day flight ops for their assigned hubs.
