Hello again IFC!
I’m thinking of joining a virtual airline, I’ve narrowed it down to either Air Canada Virtual, or WestJet virtual. Which one should I do?[poll type=regular results=always public=true chartType=bar]
My advice is partly as has been said above, pick an airline you like.
But also, pick one that has a good fleet rank system too. Gives you goals to work towards.
For example, if you pick a low-cost short haul carrier, you may only ever get the A320 or 737 to fly…
But something like a national carrier, will have everything from short haul, to medium to long haul.
If you look on the IFVARB website, they have links to all the VA websites which have that kind of detail on 👍👍.
One common feature of all VAs is there will never be a shortage of people willing to give you advice/ help you along! Most will require Expert Server access, but that really doesn’t take too long to get to 😊.
Also, it doesn’t say anywhere that you can’t be part of more than one.
You just need to meet the individual minimum activity for each. Most VAs it is 1 flight within every rolling 28/30 days… so you can easily be part of several VAs.
Thank you all for your suggestions, but another question I have is what am I getting myself into if I do join a VA? Can somebody just describe to me what it is?
Depending on what you or how i should say you like to fly, i like cargo, i fly for FDXV it is truly the best VA in my book, truly stupendous group of people, great staff, and pleanty to do! if thats what you are into come over and join!
