Vote Boston for Cross the Pond 2015 Eastbound!

Voting for Cross the Pond Eastbound 2015 airfields are now open! Be sure to vote for Boston Logan (BOS). Login at http://ctp.vatsim-uk.co.uk and click 'Airfield Voting' to do so.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cross the Pond, there are two events per year. One which takes place in March (Westbound) and one which takes place in October (Eastbound). Usually about 8 airfields are chosen based off of votes (4 departure fields and 4 arrival fields). Pilots book flights weeks before the event and plan their flights from a departure field (in this case on the east coast of the US) to an arrival field (in this case in western Europe).

This is by far THE biggest VATSIM event, which thousands of people participate in as both pilots and controllers. Virtually the entire east coast of the US is staffed along with western Europe and all of Atlantic Oceanic control (Gander and Shanwick). If you aren't into long-hauls, take the opportunity to fly as a non-event pilot and have just as much fun making your regional flights.

We have been selected for many years in the past as a CTP Eastbound departure field, so hopefully that is the case this year. If so, we need your help to staff ZBW to the max (@ controllers). Take a look at what CTP Westbound brought us this past March. Maybe this will drive you to vote for Boston Logan (BOS) as your departure field this October:

Thank you for voting!

Voted! But it was a lot tougher of a choice to choose the arrival airport.... :-\

Voted for Boston - they are including airports further west. Will we have West Coast to Europe Cross the Pond routes eventually?  :)

Not likely, as I'm sure the Europeans want to get to bed at some point, but always an interesting thought....
