Welcome to the official Infinite Flight Community Thread for Infinite Flight Virtual Cathay Pacific Airways(IFvCX)

Our History
The original idea for a new Cathay Pacific virtual started in April 2018. The goal is to replace the old CXVA which existed a while back but do not understand what people in Hong Kong prefers(Traditional Chinese as an example). The idea sprung into action in May 2018, with help from multiple people.
IFvCX is also a virtual airline that provides type rating certificate to pilots. This is fully based on how the real Cathay Pacific operations work. Every plane is different and our pilots must familiarize themselves with the system in order to maintain professionalism in the IF skies.
IFvCX is also the only airline to be sponsored by a local Infinite Flight Group. We are the official airline of the Infinite Flight Hong Kong group(IFHK) and we hope to represent Hong Kong well in the global stage.
There are also more things coming every single month that we have planned for our pilots.

Communication:
IFvCX will be using discord to communicate. At this point you might ask, wait didn’t the mods say discord is bad? Yes, we have looked at that issue closely and all our discord invites will be a single use invite after a pilot has been accepted into the virtual airline. We also took advantage of discord’s group call system, unlimited storage and the vast variety of bots to aid our pilots.
Want to know what discord provides?: https://discordapp.com/features
