    New Hub suggestion?

    Will there be added hubs in the future? I'd be nice if there was a Las Vegas hub, a Baltimore hub, and maybe a Princess Juliana Hub. Since most hubs are almost full of pilots, I think new hubs should be opened to make room for new pilots. But this is only my suggestion.

    Madrid hub opened a not too long ago, I think we should wait until it will be full of pilots first.

    But a TNCM hub will sure fill in quickly!

    TNCM will definetly be a challenge for some pilots because there's no ILS approach for their runway. I think it'll be a good addition to Westwind.

    The earliest a new hub will be added is next year, and that's at the very earliest! Also, the hub will nearly definitly not be in the US either, we have loads of hubs there... BTW, Baltimore is a satellite airport of Washington... TNCM is in a risky area for flight simulation, but when the time comes to expand it'll be considered... The Madrid hub is only open about a month, so now is not the time for expansion! We're still getting settled here in Madrid!

    Also read over the reasons we had for opening up in Madrid, it'll give you some insight into why it was a good choice, and why we picked Madrid...

    I'm gonna agree with Eoin on this one ... let's first give Madrid some time to mature and then we can see where we're at with our hubs.

    A runway is nothing but a waste of good parking space ... Real pilots only need an H to land on!

    Re: New Hub suggestion?

    I also agree with Eoin. Madrid isn't completely settled. And for a hub in TNCM, i think i read earlier that it would be extremely difficult to have a hub there. I think it was stated that it could possibly be a mini-hub but nothing bigger. And that would deffinantly be a challenge for new pilots! Big Smile
