Wow, a long way the airline has gotten. Just a few months short of the big 5.

It's been a grand old time working with Soul Airline alongside Sehloiom and the other staff team. Quite memorable, if i do say.

I've been in the airline for almost 3 years-ish. I think I've been there since the 2-year mark. It's definitely grown and improved completely. I'm impressed!

Well, I haven't really planned anything else to say (due to the fact I'm writing this at 4am without sleeping), so I'll leave the rest of the talking for the others to talk about their experience in Soul! Cone out.

Every single journey of Soul Airline is part of me, as well as everyone in the community. Soul Airline has been far more than just a PTFS airline for me.

Not a single thing would be possible without the staff and the members of the Soul Airline. I can surely and proudly say the five years of Soul Airline have been made by everyone.

Thank you for five years, and we will continue to be Soul Airline.

It was around 3 in the morning, when I attended my first flight, with just me, seh and another pilot on board. I remember when seh sent me the menu and ordered food that I knew I would probably never eat in real life. I spent the whole flight in vc, from check in to landing.

I knew from there, this airline was worth it.

I ended up joining as a pilot, then as a moderator, with my very own identification card, all the way up to General Manager, where I attended alot of flights and piloted quite a few, especially that one flight where we got interrupted by a B2.

Years down the line, I worked my way up with soullage points and eventually getting paid with robux. Working with this group for years on end until I eventually became a Chief Officer.

I remember when Seh gave me leadership of Palm Cargo, a subsidiary of soul group. But that didn't go too far 🤣.

I remember the Saturdays when me, seh and Dylan would rate airlines or aircraft when the flight ends, we do it every now and then, which is really fun.

Its taken me about 15 minutes to write this, because I was in tears after reflecting the history ive had with this airline and interacting with its people.

This place has not only changed my experience but changed my mentality for the better, and I will forever be grateful for this opportunity that I have been given here today. Since the time I set an alarm to wake up to attend a flight at 3 in the morning at just 14 years old, to serving as the Chief Information Officer at 17 years old.

At this point, it isnt even about the robux anymore, but sharing my story with soul airlines and its people, and how it has reflected me, and how this place can affect others positively too. This place will forever live on and will always be remembered within a hall of fame somewhere, someday.

I really love you guys and I wanna thank you all for joining me on this journey for years until now. I hope to see you all in real life someday and repay you with the highest gratitude I can.

Signed,

Chief Information Officer,

Soul Airline started off small, just like every other company. But what's really commendable about it is the dedication it took for the owner and staff of Soul Airline to be able to keep it running and yet keep coming up with innovative ideas to keep the community engaged for years up till now.

As someone who has only been in this PTC community for two years and in and out for the last few months, I must say that finding such passion to sacrifise time and effort just to put into a game and serve the community is something that requires an insane amount of discipline to do.

Like a wise man once said, “They had lived through wars and peace, famine and feasts, heartbreak and joy — and still they stood. The world had changed a thousand times, yet their heart outlasted it all.” Referencing this, Soul Airline have gone through 5 years of hardship, yet still managed to come back stronger every time. This is something I still think about today, and sometimes I wonder how Soul Airline managed to keep operating for years while others crumble within a year or even months.

Soul Airline has always been an inspiration to me, ever since my journey started here as someone who was new to the PTC community. Soul Airline is the trailblazer for fictional airlines as it is proof that fictional airlines can succeed. What I really love about Soul Airline is the image that it created for itself over the years, and how its brand has become so well known in the community. It is a brand that speaks for itself. I cannot emphasise how respectable it is to even do that and maintain its operation during the 5 years. 5 may not be a big number, but it really is a long time. The blood, sweat and tears that it must've been taken to build such a masterpiece in today's community is something that I myself cannot imagine doing.

As the owner of Korean Air up till early 2025, I have always received help from Soul Airline, whether be it for graphic design or just business operations itself, I always found myself grateful for their unwavering support, relying on their expertise to elevate Korean Air’s standards. I cannot stop thanking sehloiom for the continuous support I have received until the day I move on from this beautiful community.

Soul Airline is an example of how much can be achieved even on a platform that has very limited resources. Their creativity is what led them to success and I hope they continue being an inspiration for future aviation enthusiasts to come, just like me a few years back.
