Hey. If you want to make your LAX-LAS flight more realistic, I suggest cruising at FL290 or FL280. FL300 is the wrong altitude for the direction of flight. If you do not want to change it, no harm, I am just helping you out and throwing some pointers in

Will pass on to the Event Director, but am changing preemptively as this does follow the even/odd rule. Thank you for pointing that out.

Roger that, gate assignment above.

No problem! Looks like a fun event!

Roger that, gate above.

Can I have 17B or A? And why are we using 25R for departure when Southwest actually uses 24L?

@Plane-Train-TV Ask @Louie, I did not make this event.

Can I have a gate please?

This makes no sense.
Additionally, Southwest parks in T1 which is adjacent to runway 24L. Why are we taxing across the airport to 25R?

Not my department @Playr_Mar
