EGF vs JIA vs PSA vs ENY Vatsim/FREQ

Post by Rey Ramon »

So what is the American Eagle callsign preference for flying on vatsim, and submitting FREQ?
For FREQ, should I be submitting them a EGF or the operators (JIA, PSA, and ENY)? I feel this used to be in the POH somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Only mention is makes of callsign is to use AAL. I've been away from it so long that I thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
Rey

Rey, use whatever is in the timetable for FREQ and online callsign.

Are you referring to the timetable on our website? I actually haven't used it. It says it hasn't been updated since 2013. I usually just make my FREQ using flightaware.com, and fly the flight plan submitted for the flight. On there, they are posted as JIA, PSA, and ENY....not EGF.

Use whatever schedule you get the flight from. If not our schedule, then note the source for your HM when you do your FREQ.

WHAT!! That's a horrible mistake!!
Thanks for catching that one Rey. I've updated the Search Timetable page header to the correct date for the data, February 2019. I've been waiting for the airlines to get back to their post COVID schedules, especially for international routes, before I do another update.

Note that there are over 10,000 flights using the AA regional carrier names and callsigns in the timetable:
Envoy ENY 1,200 flights
Piedmont PDT 400 flights
PSA JIA 1,200 flights
Mesa ASH 1,000 flights
Republic RPA 2,400 flights
SkyWest SKW 4,400 flights

I'm flying mostly EGF because the Aerosoft CRJ is probably the best modern plane payware available on MSFS2020...so far. Can't wait until PMDG releases the 737 for it later this year!
