***Location and Home:*** *When you signed up for Walker Air Transport, you were asked to provide a Home Base location. This location is at your discretion and only affects **one thing**; where your career begins in the 'Scheduled' and 'Cargo' module.*
***Aircraft Available:** Each flight type has a specific fleet available. Visit our Fleet page by [clicking here.](https://crew.walkerair.us/corporate/fleet)*
***Notice About Worldwide Persistence:*** *As you read further into each module, remember that our 'Cargo' and 'Scheduled' operations require Pilots to depart from their last arrival airport, unless a Jumpseat to another airport is purchased. We also have an option called 'Worldwide Persistence' which enables Charter flights to be operated in the same manner. [**Read more here.**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/worldwide-persistence "Worldwide Persistence")
***Notice About Diversions or Crashes:*** *When you divert and land, or crash, our system will use your last known coordinates to determine the airport (or closest) where you are. Your PIREP is then marked as 'Diverted' and you have an additional icon placed on the map. In order to maintain our persistence system, we do one additional task based on having Worldwide Persistence enabled or not (see note above about Worldwide Persistence).* ***WWP is ON **|** ENABLED:*** *You'll remain at the airport we identified.* ***WWP is OFF **| ***DISABLED*****:** If the airport where you are has no Cargo or Scheduled flights, we'll identify another airport closest to your location that does have flights and relocate you so you may continue on your journey.* *If you're on a **Tour** flight, you'll be required to re-fly that leg.*

You will be allowed to re-fly the Tour. If your Wallet Balance is *less than* that cost, the transaction will be **disapproved**. You will **not** be allowed to re-fly the Tour In our example, because the Wallet Balance is *greater than* the Total Cost, the transaction will be approved. |
This feature is only available to Patreon members - please [click here](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/chapter/patreon) to read up on the membership system.
The Walker Flying Club allows you to fly any plane, any where, and have it tracked in the Walker system. This allows our pilots to fly aircraft that does not fall into our other three aircraft categories - [Scheduled](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/scheduled), [Cargo](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/cargo), or [Charter](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/charter). The Club represents pilot flying on their off time or as a hobby, thus instead of being paid, the pilot actually pays a nominal sum in order to fly from their pilot wallet, using money earned from flying in the other three categories. This is meant to represent aircraft rental, maintenance, and fuel costs as appropriate. You will still get hours and points for these flights, and these **will** count towards ranking your seniority up in the airline. Further, as this is not meant to be a simulation of airline operations, there will be no SimBrief import/OFP within Walker for Club flights. However, you are of course welcome to plan your flights separately in SimBrief if you so wish and connect this to the aircraft avionics that you are flying. In order to avoid exorbitant fuel costs, such as if you choose to fly a jet fighter under Club, you will be billed as per below table, based on your seniority in the airline.| **Rank | Title** | **Insignia** | **Pay Rate (Hourly)** | **Flying Club Fee (Hourly)** |

# Assignments An **Assignment** is a route generator where you will receive real-life airline routes, depending on the settings you have selected in the generator. The module also includes additional real-life simulation such as duty time limits. Completion of an assignment rewards pilots with a **bonus one point per every flight hour flown**.**Non-Patreon** members cannot choose an airline, we will build your route based on the route pairs we have available across our entire database. All generated flights will be assigned to the Walker Air Transport brand. The "Fly as WAT" option is also not available, as Walker Air Transport is used automatically.
The bonus points is only awarded at the end of the assignment, and not everytime you finish one leg.
--- ##### **Generating your Assignment** To begin generating your assignment, head over to Flights -> Assignment, which will bring up the initial prompt where you can include your parameters for the assignment to be generated. Some of these are required, while some are optional. **[](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/chrome-twciiozzyz.png)**| Parameter | What it does | Required? |

| **Routing Style** | **Point to Point** — continuous chain where each arrival is the next departure, not necessarily a hub. **Hub & Spoke** — strictly alternates hub→spoke→hub→spoke. Must be an even number of legs. | Yes |
| **Operation** | Cargo or Scheduled | Yes |
| **Airline** | Limits routes to a single airline if selected. "Random" picks any airline in the database. | Yes |
| **Legs** | How many legs to build. In Hub & Spoke mode only even numbers are allowed. | Yes |
| **Starting Airport** *or* **Hub Airport** | Starting Airport (Point to Point): forces the chain to begin at a specific ICAO; omit for a random start. Hub Airport (Hub & Spoke): this is the hub — every odd leg departs from here and every even leg returns here. If omitted, a suitable hub is chosen randomly from the airline's network. | Optional |
| **Final Airport** | Forces the last leg to land at a specific ICAO, as long as possible. *Not available in Hub & Spoke mode (the chain always ends at the hub).* | Optional |
| **Min / Max Leg Distance** | Each leg must be within this range (nautical miles), unless no suitable options are found. | Optional |
| **Unique** (toggle) | Point to Point: no airport may be visited more than once. Hub & Spoke: no spoke airport may be repeated. | Optional |
| **Multi-Region** (toggle) | When on, at least one arrival must be in a different world region than the origin. Point to Point: checks against the starting airport's region. Hub & Spoke: at least one spoke must land in a different region than the hub. | Optional |
| **Exclude Airports** | Airport ICAO's inserted here will never show up in the generated result. | Optional |
| **Try to Include Airports** | The generator tries to route through these ICAOs. | Optional |
| **Codeshare** (toggle) | Routes are generated under the chosen airline's network, but the assignment is stored under Walker Air Transport (WAT). The pilot flies WAT-branded legs on the generated route. | Optional |
You are only allowed to generate 5 assignments within a 24-hour period, afterwards you will be locked out of the system until 24 hours passes from your first attempt. You can see current attempts on the upper right side of the Parameters input popup.
While we strive to maintain an updated and accurate route database, there will be a few instances of incorrect or old routes generating into your assignment, or newly-launched routes not appearing in the system. The Walker team will continue to push to minimize the instances of these.
--- ##### **Flying your Generated Assignment** **[](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/chrome-kq2lkgjtqd.png)** Once you have generated your schedule, the map interface will show up. From here, you can review the generated assignment, choose to discard the assignment by clicking the [ ](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/TRgimage.png)on the upper right, or bid the next flight by clicking the  beside the currently active leg. If you wish to look for real life flights flying the same route, clicking the  button will bring you to FlightAware's Flight Finder for your currently active leg. From here on, bidding will send you to the OFP page as is the case for our other modules.You may freely cancel and regenerate another assignment, provided that **you have not hit the generation limit AND have not flown the first leg.** Cancellations after the first leg will lock the Assignments module for **6 hours for every incomplete leg**. (i.e. a 10 leg assignment cancelled after completing leg 3 will lock you out for 42 hours (7 incomplete legs x 6 hours)
--- ##### **Time Compression** We understand that pilots may not have the time to fly long haul flights at 1x simulation, but would like to log these flights. As such, we allow the use of Time Compression in the Assignment system similar to the Tours system, where the pilot will be locked out of bidding the next leg until the time it would have taken to fly the previous leg at 1x simulation rate. When you are not cleared to fly, you will see this tooltip and the clearance time (in UTC) will be presented to you. You may fly on other Walker modules (Scheduled/Cargo/Charter/Tours) while you are on cooldown in the Assignments module. [](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/w3kimage.png)You will still be deducted points for time compression per our policy on top of the lockout. You may refer to the point chart here: [Rank & Points](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/rank-points "Rank & Points")
--- ##### **Duty Hours** Unique to the Assignments module is the simulation of Duty Hours, where pilots are only allowed to fly a maximum of 12 hours in a 24 hour period. Your current "duty day" is shown on the top of the assignments page, and you will only be allowed to bid a flight if the calculated length of the flight is below your remaining duty hours available. An exception to this is long hauls (flights exceeding 12 hours as calculated), which will allow you to bid as long as you have your whole 12 hour duty time allowance untouched. For these flights, only 12 hours will also be tagged as used in your duty time, to reflect crew rest while airborne. [](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/kcoimage.png) Note that the duty hours are only incurred, and only blocks bids within the Assignments module. This does not affect other modules within Walker.Calculated flight lengths are based off birds eye distance and the average speed of the fleet in Walker. This may not be reflective of wind conditions, traffic, routing requirements, etc.
Flown duty hours count all flights flown under the Assignments module in the past 24 hours, **regardless if it was under an earlier, since completed assignment.**
--- ##### **Completed Assignments** Both completed and in-progress assignments may be viewed in your profile. The hours flown shown here for completed assignments are the basis for your bonus points - rounded up to the nearest hour. [](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/nZgimage.png) --- # Jumpseat --- When flying **Cargo** and **Scheduled** flights – and **Charter** flights, though only when *Worldwide Persistence* is on/enabled – your departure airport must be the same as the arrival airport of your previous flight. A Jumpseat enables you to change that. With a Ticket, you can move from the airport where you currently are to any other one in the world. With *Worldwide Persistence* on, this *also* includes Charter flights. [](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637532028996.png) Jumpseat tickets, though, are **not** free. They cost money. They're purchased using the virtual money you earn as a Pilot. --- **EXAMPLE:** You're currently at *KSEA - Seattle-Tacoma International Airport* and wish to get to *KJFK | New York John F. Kennedy International Airport*. When you go to **Flights** > **Jumpseats**, you'll be presented with the screen below. Your **Current Location** will already be noted. Enter the airport where you want to go in the **Transfer To** box. In addition to a distance between the airports, a price will appear below it. If you want to purchase the seat, click the **Purchase Ticket** button. Repeat the process as many times as you wish before making a purchase decision. [](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1637532102313.png)*If the price of the Ticket is more than the balance in your **In Your Wallet** account, you will **not** be able to purchase it.*
