A couple of ideas...............

Pilots 'dead-heading'

It's just a thought............................. In the real world, if an airline has a route network with hubs and interconnecting flights between hubs, crew transfers are free. Could this be implemented at all here? If you operate a route between airports A and B, and you have a pilot that wishes ...

I like the idea that my 'VA' (myself, one pilot) can grow quickly. I am not here to run any 'competitor' into the ground, I am here so that...

New Stickies

Hi, I am new to FlyNet and would like to make a suggestion to make things easier for us new guys.
