Come on folks, let's get some more flights for Pete. The 4 flights he has remaining on his current bid won't last long at all!

Cape Town, South Africa to Santiago, Chile
FACT-SCEL

Found this one on FlightAware.com. I don't think it's a regularly scheduled LAN flight. Maybe a special for the FIFA cup?

Departing from the wrong place. #7 needs to start at NZAA. There were 2 #6 and the first arrives at NZAA.

Still waiting for leg #7.

Athens-LGAV
20:45
Brussels-EBBR

I believe this is now the order and the flights after the timetable mix up. What happened, I believe is two pilots were submitting a flight at the same time and both #6 flights crossed pathways. I have had this happen before when posting subjects on the forum. It depends upon who has the faster fingers in typing.

#1 KORD -VIDP

#2 VIDP - RJAA

#3 RJAA-EGLL

#4 EGLL - FACT

#5 FACT - SCEL

#6 SCEL - NZAA

#7 NZAA - VHHH

#8 VHHH - LGAV

#9 LGAV - EBBR

#10


INCORRECT #7 CYYZ - LLGAV

From section 5.1 in the Pilot's Handbook:

You may fly a total of four (4) CHARTER FLIGHTS per month. A Charter flight is defined as a flight NOT on any posted timetable. It must be flown in a commercial AAV aircraft that you are ranked to use and between destinations that have runway facilities which support the type of aircraft used. For example, you can't reasonably expect to land a 737 on a 2000 ft. grass runway. Charter Flights are requested in your FREQ using the same notations as a regular flight. When requesting a charter, substitute the word "CHARTER" in place of the flight number and then list the departure and arrival airports as you would for a regular flight. Your Hub Manager will review your request for a charter when your FREQ is reviewed.

What that means as a Senior Captain is that you can fly any current AA or Oneworld partner equipment. If you have the retro endorsement you can fly any current or past AA or Oneworld partner equipment. Once you make commander you can fly any current AA/OW partner equipment and also charter jets (biz jets like a Gulfstream or Cessna Citation, etc) If you are a commander with a retro endorsement you can pretty much fly anything you want with or without wings.
