VATSIM

On internet are, for flight simmers, some networks in which you can fly with "pilots" from all over the world. I'm flying at VATSIM. It's a virtual world, with air traffic controllers, and pilots. I am playing the pilot. I'm also joining a virtual airline. It's called transavia VA. A virtual airline is actually just a normal airline. It has pilots, a dispatch and, it carries people. A virtual airline does the same thing, but virual. Today I got my promotion, which I've been expecting for a long time. Now, I'm senior first officer. Nothing changes. But people with who I perform a flight, and are lower in rank then I am, have to say "sir" to me. And if I have to do a flight, and there are no captains availeble, I am the captain of the flight! How is that? I get to say things like: Let's get boarding and before take off checklist and so on. Of course, it doesn't happen a lot that I'm playing the captain since we are a large VA. In a couple of months I expect to be promoted to junoir captain. This means I get te be captain at short flights, and when I perform flight longer then 2500 nautical miles (4630 km), I get to be the third pilot. Not that I'm flying myself, but I have to look what the captains do. Remember. This is a virtual airline, and it's so close to reality! 

Also, I messed up physics in our testweek. I thought I had done it very well, but as it seams right now, I've made a couple of mistakes. Maybe it are only two, but I'm not happy with that. I could have done it all right. Ahh, I will see what is becomes. Bye! 

p.s.: tomorrow geographic and French, xD, I suck at french...
