Virtual Airline Pioneer Marty Becker makes the first flight on SunAir Express' new elite division "Jim." The Flight was 6011, from Chicago's O'Hare to Zurich, Switzerland. The flight took off uneventfully at 5:30pm local time. Captain Becker climbed with his new B737-800 BBJ2 to 37,000 to cross the Atlantic in arrive in Zurich in almost 8 hours. Arrival at Zurich was smooth. The flight was concluded with a small welcome party.

Now all SunAir Express pilots type qualified on B737s do not have to wait for higher ratings to start crossing the Atlantic and accumulating hours. Enjoy those long flights with the exclusive "Jim."
