flyalaska Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Anyone know of any Virtual Stock websites that can be used for my VA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kyle Posted December 18, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Pretty Interesting, It could be a good idea to intergrate that into phpVMS systems But I Do not know any of them. But that could be a consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Stocks should totally be integrated into VACentral. It needs more features really, I never visit the VACentral site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators joeri Posted December 18, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 sadly that is true va central schould expand mush more would be great some competition between the airlines instead off just linking it to the total pireps.it would be so mush more iff it had so manny more features. maby we schould start a petition to nabeel to get him off his reallive work and let him work on this just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I think a stock system would be pretty cool addon for phpVMS. That is the one thing I am missing dearly. I would love to have such a system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lorathon Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sounds interesting. How would you like it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well, I suppose it needs to be able to send out dividends at least once a year, or make it so an admin can do it manually maybe. I think the price would need to fluctuate in accordance with how many pireps are being filed per day and all that kind of good stuff. Active pilots verses inactive pilots could possibly play a role in it maybe. It would need to be auto though so no admin input is necessary. It would need to fluctuate on its own so there is no bias from admin. And admin could easily keep raising the prices. I am not sure how the whole VA stock market thing works, but I am sure it should be somewhat of what I attempted to explain. Oh and another issue is making it so if a pilot buys stock, he or she does not get money back if everything is recalculated in the admin panel. They would need to be able to sell stock back to the company as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted March 30, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 If someone wants to integrate it into vaCentral, I'm all for it. That's probably the best place for it Just need a coder who knows CakePHP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Would that then only be available from VA Central then? The idea behind VA stock options would allow pilots to buy stock in the VA they belong to. This in turn would put more money back in to the Virtual Airlines account allowing them to purchase or lease more aircraft or what ever. That is IF the VA is running it like a real airline. If it is being run as a free for all and add what you like when you like, then it would not much matter. In all reality, NO airline in the world can start off with hundreds of aircraft and with a small number of aircraft, comes very little routes. This in turn allows an airline to grow as it should. This system would need to be able to take in to account how often routes are flown and how much money an airline is making or loosing. That would control the stock value right? Now once this feature was added to the individual airlines website, I think it would be bad as hell for it to be integrated in to VA Central as well. But how would individual pilot able able to purchase stock from VA central? I may be way off on all this. All this is strictly my own as well as some pilots thoughts. I am very interested to your thoughts Nabeel. And I know nothing about Cake so that leaves me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted March 30, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well, the pilot can register on vaCentral. Having stock for an individual VA is a bit useless, but having it based against other airlines is what will give it some value. This system would need to be able to take in to account how often routes are flown and how much money an airline is making or loosing. That would control the stock value right? This is already done for the rankings, so it's a matter of tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah I see what you are saying as far as VA Central goes. So in the end, what will it do for the VA? That is what I am more curious about. And I have to respectfully disagree that at a VA level it would do no good. But we can leave that for another time and place.

Administrators Nabeel Posted March 31, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well it would "travel back" to the VA level and give you money to work with. The whole system has to be planned, there wouldn't only be a vaC peice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Now that would work if the money trickled back down to the VA. I can see your point there. Good one for sure. That was kind of my whole point in the beginning. The more money can trickle back down to the VA, the more it would allow a VA to grow if they were running it as a real airline basically. And, it would give the pilot something to spend pilot cash on right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
