Meridian Virtual was founded as a Code Share and Charter Virtual Airline . We operate flights for Delta , United , British Airways , Cape Air and UPS . Our current hubs are located at ( KSDF ) Louisville International Airport-Standiford Field , the home of UPS and ( KSNA ) John Wayne-Orange County Airport . In addition to the code shares , we offer a variety of ways our pilots can select a flight . We have a random jobs generator that spits out a variety of jobs throughout the day ; we have our Charter Ops center where the job is available until flown and the system rarely repeats ; and finally we have our Cargo Ops center which functions much like the Charter Ops center , but you have the option of flying various Cargo missions big , medium and small . If that is not enough for you we have over 10,000 routes in the database . Our main database has over 2,000 different airports . We do this to keep the system running quickly and smoothly . If you do not find an airport you like , just search our Charter Ops database which contains over 42,000 airports .
Meridian is one of the more challenging Virtual Airlines to join and fly for . Our goal is not to have hundreds of inactive pilots that have not flown in months . We also seek more experienced pilots than the average Virtual Airline . In order to attract more active and more experienced pilots , we have spent money on the best modules available to give you a lot of options , and a quality web client . Our entrance exam is not very easy to pass , but for the experienced Virtual Pilot it should be no issue . Half the test covers basic piloting skills and the other half covers our rules . We require each pilot to fly a minimum of 10 hours per month . All PIREPS must have a landing rate under -600 fpm , overspeeds must be under 16kts , and correct altitude for direction of flight must be used . Before joining our family we ask you to carefully read our requirements . We understand that our rules will turn away a lot of pilots , but we would rather be a smaller airline of experienced , active pilots , than a large airline of pilots that have not flown in years .
As a Virtual Airline we promise to provide you with the best experience available . We will only introduce the best modules available . As the landscape changes and more items become available we will bring the to you . Getting your pireps cleared is not an issue here . There is always a member of management around watching the system , and you will rarely find a PIREP older than 1 hour . In fact most times your PIREP is approved by the time you hit the gate . If you have questions , use our VA Mail system , and you will receive an answer usually in under 2 hours . We expect a lot of you , so we hope you would expect great service from us , and it is our pleasure to provide it .
Our system works with FS9 , FSX , FSX Steam Edition , X Plane 9 , 10 and soon 11 , and Prepar3d Versions 1-3 . We support smartCARS , kACARS , CCFree Tracker , XAcars , FSFK , FSACARS , and FS Passengers . We are currently working an bringing our own tailor made ACARS in the future . PC and Mac Pilots are welcome . We have a whole array of Tours and Awards to include awards for members of the US Military and Public Safety . We hold weekly events and you are more than welcome to join us on TeamSpeak , where we really do have a lot of fun .
If you are an active and experience Virtual Pilot , and you are looking for a high-end Virtual Airline , we believe we have you covered .
