About Confluence Air

Confluence Air is a virtual airline based at Spirit of St. Louis (KSUS), run the way a real regional carrier runs. We fly as CFE, callsign CONFLUENCE. The network is published and ready when you are. St. Louis is the main hub. The CRJ-550, CRJ-700, CRJ-900 and ATR 42 and 72 fly from KSUS across the Midwest, to the East Coast and the Southeast, and west to Denver. Pittsburgh (KPIT) is our second hub. E175s and E195s fly to Chicago, Washington, Newark, Boston, Atlanta and Denver. Denver (KDEN) is our western gateway and 777 base, with scheduled long-haul to London, Paris, Frankfurt, Honolulu, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Beijing. If you like structure, fly a Line or a Service. Lines are ATR feeder runs. Services are CRJ-900 trunk rotations. Each is a set of legs flown in order as a tour. Charter is a separate operation. Assignments come through JetCard, in business jets and airliners, and you plan and fly each leg yourself. CFEnet is where the work happens. My Flying holds your schedule, dispatch, SimBrief flight plan, briefing and weather in one place. From there you pick a scheduled flight, take a charter leg, or fly a monthly assignment, tour or mission. Stratos tracks every flight. Rank comes from your hours and completed flights. Fly MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 or X-Plane 12, on VATSIM, with SayIntentions.AI, or offline. Register at crew.confluenceair.com. HR will quickly review your application. Once you're approved, CFE100 from St. Louis to Chicago O'Hare is a good first flight.
