Reviews (by CHARLEY)

Let me start this review by saying I have enjoyed my time using APLV2, but this addon has so much more potential. For starters, the pay scale: When I got hired at United I was making roughly $60 as an FO, but according to airlinepilotcenteral.com they start at $91 as a first year FO. I understand them not wanting us to achieve high levels of wealth so quickly but it would be nice if the pay was more realistic. I am now a Senior FO at United only making $71 an hour. Which then leads me to aircraft licenses: you get paid the same per hour with each aircraft. While this may be true for United first year FO's, that is not the case when you gain experience on that type. My next issue is the schedule, your only option is to hold a line and have a set schedule, but what would be awesome is if you could live life on reserve for example: You don't have a set schedule but could login and request a round trip, or get a few days trip once at a time. What I would also like to see is base pay be added. No matter if you fly or not for a week, you should see a minimum pay of lets say 5 hour per week how 121 operators do it in the U.S. Also, paying for aircraft licenses is interesting because if you're at a carrier they pay for those licenses themselves. Instead of money only buying experience, investments, licenses, etc, you should be able to buy a house, cars, or things like that and not some weird crypto that will boost your income by 20%. Like I said in the beginning I have enjoyed my time with this product, but they are leaving so much off the table that could have everybody using this product.
