Dave Paige 925700 Posted March 9, 2009 at 12:50 AM Posted March 9, 2009 at 12:50 AM I can confirm Kyle's post. The website crashed and it's being rebuilt along with the rest of the ATPx operations. The e-mails addresses are still working. We're working hard on it, please stay tuned.

Joe Caban 844086 Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:26 AM Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:26 AM hey aaron! How's it goin? Just FYI, we never closed. I just decided I would rather have the website 100% complete and everything in place before continuing so that the staff can enjoy the VA too. There are a few surprises we are working on for our launch which should be late summer/early fall. We have some really cool new toys and some more innovative ideas. Trust me you'll love it. Any ATPx members who need to contact me can still use my previous email. Regards, JX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romano Lara Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:44 AM Posted April 21, 2009 at 05:44 AM Out of curiosity, what exactly is ATP experience? Yes I'm aware what ATP means, but what is this all about. Is it like a normal VA or something? Romano LaravACC Philippines, Manager - Training & Standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Rutila 974112 Posted April 22, 2009 at 10:56 PM Posted April 22, 2009 at 10:56 PM It's a simulation of AirTran, although they can't use AirTran's name on the website. It's actually a pretty neat operation. I remember the big deal when they launched was that on certain nights you were able to get a real-time dispatcher give you a dispatch release including a pushback and startup time via Teamspeak.

It is not a sim of Airtran, although we chose Airtran's colors and callsign, nor are we "not allowed" to use Airtran's name on the site. We have already discussed all this with Airtran's legal department and I can use whatever I want that they don't own a copyright to (any file copied directly from their website.) We chose them because we felt like it. The ATP Experience is just what the name says...the only place on VATSIM to experience and learn what it's like being a pilot for a commercial airline...

Luke Kolin Posted May 31, 2009 at 02:19 AM Posted May 31, 2009 at 02:19 AM I'm getting a DNS failure. Hopefully ATPx will be back with us soon; it's a needed part of our ecosystem. Cheers! Luke ...

Joe Caban 844086 Posted June 23, 2009 at 02:03 AM Posted June 23, 2009 at 02:03 AM So you're simulating bad QOL and low pay? Exactly! Except you're forgetting: unforseen delays, Part 121 Operating rules, and you don't get to choose what or where you fly. You can bid on a schedule tho. =) Changes to look forward to include regional code share routes and new equipment types...and of course the promise that anything over 18 pilots will simulate real traffic levels at our hubs during ANY regular night on VATSIM.
