Here at Vintage Air Cargo, we do not need vastly experienced pilots, but there will be some technical questions you have to answer on your application process, all of which you can find in your Flight Simulator X Learning Center or on the internet. They are simple questions, and I even give the areas in which they can be found.

6. The ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) measures the time it will take you to arrive at your destination based upon:
A) How far your aircraft is from the next waypoint
B) How far offcourse your aircraft is
C) Where your aircraft in relation to desired track and groundspeed.
After you answer these questions, depending upon the accuracy of your answers, you may or may not be hired to fly as a pilot for Vintage Air Cargo. The answers can be easily found, and missing one or two will in no way affect my decision to hire you. Good luck, and read up. It really does help.
