Check out our website at http://www.midamericanairlines.us
It can answer some of the questions you may have it also has links to what we use as far as the software that tracks the pilots flights and records their data.



Which program does your VA use..? Cool If its not VAFS im interested.



We use VAFS via VA Financials - its the best and most accurate flight recording tools for VA's.  Its not free for VA's which is why its the best, we do have to pay a monthly fee, but its not a crazy fee at all for the service.  

Since my VA is rather new, im always looking for new pilots to fly with us and see if they like the routes, and if anything go ahead and tell me what routes they want to fly and ill make them happen.
Ive got lots of plans for the airline but it all takes time... but hey in a short while things have expanded nicely.  
Like i said theres room for all.

I was gunna start a VA and try doing it on a free website Grin Roll Eyes, then I was going to consider buying a domain name but noone was interested.

I was gunna do VAFS because the VA'S I fly use them and I love VAFS but you had to pay.

Yeah ive had the website thing for over 10 years, i used to pay for it then i got rid of the payments, but now i may go back to it because i wanna add scenery files to the airports we fly to so the pilots can download them off our site quicker than researching it on google.
Yes, VAFS costs money for the VA's like $6 a month, which isnt that bad really, but its for the service so you can keep track of the pilots and how they perform and where they fly.  I find it to be the best one out there, and i paid for a domain but it was only $5 via go daddy, so thats not alot of money, but then again there are tons of VA's out there, so i dont find stealing pilots interesting, id rather have a core group of people who like the fly the routes, suggest new routes, and have fun flying in real time, and if it gets big enough ill splurge for a Ventrillo page so that pilots can chat online while they fly.

 However you do have to depart from the airport you land in, thats the rule.  



I do that now anyway.  Cool

My two rules of flightsimming:

-Start where I ended

-If you take off, you must land (never just hit esc)

 

I do enjoy the free wheeling bit of FS, but sometimes, I just want some direction when I don't know where to fly. Wink

A nice small VA with available props sounds nice, I wouldn't even mind doing some local routes in a 737 or something of similar size. Cool

Yeah we arent that large, im going to create some more SAAB turbo prop routes and get a few more of those planes.  Right now there are about 4 of them im probably going to add a few more and do more regional and commuter flights
Plus im looking to get another hub going, but i need more pilots before i tack on another hub.

The Saab livery isnt on the website yet, ive yet to upload it.

Check us out if u want.

Every aircraft has a compass with 360 different directions on it. Just pick a random heading and go... Grin

Well also if your ever interested in flying commercial aircraft here's a great VA. Not recruiting or anything I only fly a few flights a month with them but its pretty nice since I get to fly almost all the project opensky aircraft and you can pick through lots of airlines.

http://simairline.net/

You just sign up for one and you can fly all them and they use real world timetables for routes. Although im not sure you like commercial aircraft but no single props or anything except for the Saab's and stuff but those are almost so close to a jet. Roll Eyes
