Shaylyn

[Carde]

This is to be my roleplay for after the next reset, it will be expanded over time, but I thought I put it up already to give you all an idea where I am heading. I am really pleased with this one because for the first time I had a good working idea of how to combine my love for the old jets like the VC10 and Concorde and the modern day highly advanced and efficient planes like the A350 and A220. Also note my seating will be a lot more realistic this time around, no more HCC High Cost Carrier, while it is obscenely profitable, it is also very susceptible to competition and not all that realistic. 

Pictures still have to be added for the planes and well the route map will be an ever evolving thing of course once the reset is done. 

Anyhow I hope you all like it to and I love to hear your feedback.

The Shaylyn loyalty program:

The Shaylyn loyalty program rewards those who chose to keep flying with us. It is tailored to your desires as a passenger whether you hope between cities in Europe or prefer to fly swiftly to your destinations or do it all you can customize your rewards as you see fit. You see each flight will help you collect points and it is entirely up to you how and when to employ those points. Perhaps you value access to our lounges more than a class upgrade, or perhaps you wish to simply obtain a discount on your next travel, or you might decide that instead spending them on yourself you donate them to a number of good causes around the world, each point represents a value which we will then donate to the cause(s) of your choice. 

Life is after all nothing, but a series of choices strung together and we believe this freedom should be entirely yours to keep. Of course if you truly do not wish to be bothered by the need of making such choices, you can choose to make us choose for you instead.

The shaylyn fleet:

Concorde:

It took mankind less than 70 years from believing we could not fly to flying people commercially at twice the speed of sound. A plane designed with pen, paper and a lot of smart brains she hailed in the supersonic age. Now she is back as a part of the Shaylyn vintage historical fleet, she takes to the skies once more as a statement to the skill of those who made her and to the spirit people had in those days of nothing being impossible. A plane that we all should be proud off for it is an achievement unrivaled to this very day almost 50 years after she first flew. 

Vickers Commercial 10, VC10 and Super VC10:

The last hurrah of the independent UK aircraft industry the Vickers VC10 was a beautiful jet liner designed to do one job really well and it did that job really well, but at the cost of efficiency. A plane that sadly did not get the love and respect she deserved until later on. People call her the original queen of the skies and even when the plane that now carries that title the Boeing 747 started to fly people preferred the older, but more comfortable VC10. She was both loved by pilots and passengers alike, but not so much by executives of the airlines. We at Shaylyn however love this jet and hence she flies as a part of our vintage historical fleet so that all can experience the glory days of the jet age. 

Airbus A350 family:

Technology is an ever evolving matter as long as we strive for it and the Airbus A350 is a clear example of this fact. A stunning plane to look at and to fly within, she offers unrivaled comfort and range connecting 2 sides of the globe as if you went to visit your friends a town over. All the while she is doing that she is prone to burn less fuel per person than you would have when driving even your small city car. She is truly a marvel of engineering and we at Shaylyn are proud to operate her to destinations across the globe.

Airbus A320neo family:

The Airbus A 320 family has been a part of the skies for many decades and airbus has shown time and time again how they can keep on innovating the design to ever increasing levels of efficiency and comfort. The neo family planes offer an amazing mix of efficiency and range making them as ideal for hopping around Europe as even flying across the worlds oceans a feet few had expected to see happening. We at Shaylyn love these planes and their flexible nature so expect to see them all over our network.

Airbus A220 family:

The formerly know Bombardier CS300 and CS100 planes are a amazingly efficient and state of the art regional jets. Taking advantage of all the developments made in recent times they offer a level of efficiency not seen in any other regional jet. Their size is also perfect to serve many a smaller airport in means that allows both great service and comfort while also remaining a profitable venture. We at Shaylyn have quickly fallen in love with these planes and their ability for us to reach far more people that would have otherwise not been possible. 

Airbus A380

The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger plane in the world, a true marvel of engineering. We love these giant birds as much as people who fly on them or fly them do. It is a truly unique experience and the comfort onboard these large planes is second to none according to the many people who have had their say on the matter. We fly these on the highest of demand routes around the globe where they are best suited to and we hope that everyone at least once has a chance to fly onboard our A380s at some point. 

Boeing 747-8

The Boeing 747-8 is the latest offering in the modern queen of the skies and many suspect it will be the last, but make no mistake here these planes offer a great level of comfort and proven reliability. They serve us really well on higher demand routes that are not quite suited for twin jets or the even larger A380. Overall expect these queens to take to the skies for some decades to come and we are proud to continue the heritage of the modern queen as much as we do the classic one. 

Boeing 787 dreamliner family.

The Boeing 787 dreamliner has had a bit of a rocky time no doubt about it, but in the end these planes are an amazing option for us to operate and for you to fly on. Highly efficient and comfortable they are ideal choices on lower demand routes that you still would like to see a daily service to. Expect them all over the network in the years to come and we hope they allow you to truly dream while you cruise through the skies in great comfort. 

Boeing 777-9

Still in development, but we have already put in our orders for this latest development of the great twin jet that is the 777. They will be a great companion to our A350 fleet we predict and by operating two different brand of aircraft we have additional flexibility in our fleet as well as the reduction in risk in case of groundings. Though we will have to see still how they will hold up in service and importantly how you our customers rate these planes we expect them to do great. 

CEO Sigrún Athray

Former RAF VC10 and Sentinel pilot Sigrún Athray founded Shaylyn as a company the day after she left the RAF. She went to her family for a financial loan and with that she started working on the foundation of what turn into the airline operating today. With a focus on the future and the planet she managed to string a balance between the things that mattered to her while operating in quite the controversial industry from an environmental point of view. She is know for her military style leadership, she respects opinions and talk backs at the appropriate times, but make no mistake whatever calls she will make are her own and will be executed upon. However she also known to enjoy life cause without proper winding down people tend not to function well in her experience.
