As I previously mentioned in our last conversation, charter mode is not to be used when a schedule is available.

Yes I know, and as far as I know I did use the scheduled SAS4631. But because I flew on VATSIM I used my UNI2347 flight number, as according to the UK Virtual Airline Regulations section "When flying a UK virtual livery online you are to use your Union ID." I did use G-UKAB (Swoop) livery on the A321 and my Union ID. I'm OK with pirep rejection, but I do find the rules a bit confusing. Perhaps a short crib sheet somewhere about what to use when flying scheduled and charter flights , both online (VATSIM/ICAO) and offline?

Hmm, unless Union ID means 2347, without the UNI prefix? Apologies, I think it does, in which case it should have been SAS2347 ?

Hi Richard, the below link is your "crib sheet" and I explained the rules to you last time. The can be found via the link below and regulations, so please do not pull strings at our rules our virtual. I gave you the benefit of the doubt on your last flight, this is not to be taken for granted. Link - https://www.ukvirtual.co.uk/index.php/newstart

Pulling strings? From the link you provided: When you fly on VATSIM, there are a few things we like you to do: You may use the schedule callsign, your Union callsign, or a combination of the 2. So for instance, if you are flying schedule BAW2921, your callsign can be BAW2921, UNI2347 or BAW2347. I used UNI2347. I am not trying to get the pirep accepted, just to understand what I am supposed to do. The rules are very confusing. If it says I can use UNI2347, then naturally I assume it means exactly that.

Richard, there were two scheduled flights on the website available for your flight NOZ1602 and SAS4631. One of them should of been booked and used in the flight tracker for your flight, not charter mode. The use of charter/schedule flights has nothing to do with your online callsign.
