- The CEO does NOT have sole power over the
airline. The CEO oversees the operations of the board of directors to
ensure a smoothly operating airline and presides over business meetings.
The CEO also delegates authority and responsibility to other members of the
Board of Directors.
- The Chief of Operations will work together with the Chief Hub Manager to carry
out the duties of supervising the Hub Managers and Flight Coordinator. The
COO will also notify HR of any staffing needs.
- The Chief Financial Officer will oversee the finances of the airline and
provide a report to the Board of Directors at each business meeting. The
Chief Financial Officer will supervise the activities of the Dispatcher Liaison,
Lease director, Loss Prevention Director, and the Price Adjustor.
- The Dispatcher Liaison will receive orders from the CFO regarding which
specific hub or flights need to produce more revenue. The Dispatcher
Liaison will then select the appropriate flights and notify the Flight
Coordinator of such flights.
- The Lease Director will keep track of the fleet inventory and report to the
CFO the operating costs of the fleet.
- The Loss Prevention Director will keep track of preventable losses and report
them to the CFO. The Loss Prevention Director will also check for trends
in pilots who routinely cause damage to the fleet and report these incidents to
the COO.
- The Price Regulator will check and/or adjust the cost of tickets for each
flight and ensure that it yields optimal revenue.
-The Human Resources Director will oversee the Recruitment and Retention
Director as well as the Advertising Director. All operations of
recruitment/retention and advertising will go through the HR Director.
- The Recruitment and Retention Director will handle all pilot applications,
research pilot references and verify hours with previous airlines. The
Recruitment and Retention Officer will also develop programs to keep pilots and
work towards a low turnover rate by developing programs that will provide an
atmosphere which will persuade pilots to stay within our airline.
-The Advertising/Marketing Director will advertise our airline in the flight
simulator/virtual airline community. The Advertising/Marketing Director is
allowed a Graphics Designer to work for them although it is not required.
- The Chief Hub Manager will oversee the operations of all five hub managers to
ensure efficient airline operation. The CHM will represent the hub
managers in Board meetings and notify the COO of the needs of each hub.
- The Flight Coordinator will dispatch priority flights as directed by the COO,
CFO or Dispatcher Liaison.
- The Hub Managers are responsible for any and all activity at their assigned
hub. They are also responsible for the pilots at their respective primary
hub. Hub Managers will report any accidents, misconduct, or commendations
to the COO and CHM. If there is a dispute, the respective hub manager
along with the CHM and COO will act as a three-person panel to hear out any
issues or complaints and take appropriate action. In the event that
the Loss Prevention director reports repeated losses due to pilot error, the COO
will notify the Hub Manager and the Hub Manager will take the appropriate steps
to correct the situation either in the form of training, demotion, or
discipline.
* The pilots are the most crucial members of our airline. The pilots will
fly flights that are within the scope of their employment level. It is the
job of the pilots to fly as many hours as possible in order for the airline to
function. It is also the duty of the pilots to exercise caution and to be
very careful not to damage aircraft in our fleet. Each and every pilot is
very important and valuable.
To prevent any type of dictatorship, any and all officer
positions, including the CEO, can be replaced at any time. This measure pertains
only to the Officers of the Board of Directors. Any dismissal of other
persons from position can be sufficiently handled by the board of directors.
Removal of any officer can be accomplished if needed, provided that the
following circumstances are met (interpreted below):
1. A petition must first be produced on the forum in the form
of a new topic. It must be "signed" by at least 50% of the membership
before being presented to the board of directors. NOTE: There will
be a zero tolerance policy for retaliation against anyone who signs such
petition, guaranteeing their safety from "blowback."
2. Members signing the petition must be active within the
airline by either:
a.
Logging at least two flights per month, or;
b.
Actively performing their assigned duties within the airline
2. The board of directors must unanimously vote to accept the
petition before being discussed in the board meeting.
3. After such discussion, a vote of 60% of the board members
(with ALL board members present) must be obtained in order to terminate the
person or persons who are being petitioned.
The reason the number must be 60% and not 50% is because it
is fair. It is in-keeping with the required numbers of a republic, not a
democracy. A republic requires 60% of a vote to impose any new
action/law/legislation. A democracy only requires 50% plus 1. This
rule most closely follows the laws set forth by the United States Government,
where it takes a 60% vote of the public to impose a levy or new tax, and the
legislative process requires passage by 50% in the House and then 60% in the
Senate before it can be passed.
