This has been something that I just got wind of, and would like to send out a statement regarding this subject. This has been directly copied from my statement at the FSINN forums:Some things you have to know about ArabianI am beginning to hear that many people are starting to 'get annoyed' with Arabian, seeing that it has indeed changed logos and fleet about 3 times in its existance, while opening for only 4 months. I understand that is beginning to sound like certain charecters, but I assure you that is not how Arabian is. I have been working extremely closely with David Chesterman and Chris Meyle, and not to mention a couple of other people, to work out flaws and probl…

Hello Everyone,Just an annoucement. The CEO of Arabian Skies has gone AWOL on us, and he's no where to be seen. Therefore, Arabian Skies is now just sitting there, up for grabs. There is a possibility that the VA will be automated along with Arabian Airlines and it's subsidaries.We are thinking of moving the VA out of Casablanca since Arabian Airlines has reopened that as a hub. So, we're looking towards the East, maybe Armenia. Yes, we know that's rather obscure and odd that a VA would WANT to be based there, but then again, Arabian Airlines is all about opening new doors and just doing things that are considered "stupid" and "weird."Anyways, if anyone is interested plea…
