Moderators Kyle Posted March 5, 2013 Moderators Report Posted March 5, 2013 Just wondering, Where's your link to your VA? 2 Quote
Strider Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 If you want anyone to join, you gotta provide a link to it. Quote
freshJet Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Hey Vincent! Oh dear. Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Quote

Ariel Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Oh dear. Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? OH NO NOT ANOTHER ONE MONTHER!! that sounded funny!!!lol Quote
VincentJ Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Posted March 7, 2013 My airline isn't a one monther! The reason that i can't provide a VA link is because it's undergoing work to it so it's inactive! So if you want to join you just got to trust me! //Vincent Jeffman Quote
Laura Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 So, just to get that right - You're presenting as an airline wich noone is to see - asking future pilots to just "trust" you to have the "Freshest VA ever?" Why not wait until there's actually something to show us ? I don't know about other pilots, but i tend to not join a VA without seeing something 2 Quote

Looks like your a bit impatient anyhow you won't find any pilots here as we are all virtual airline owners. Why should a pilot trust you, they don't know you or what you have to offer, you haven't even shown us a logo yet. Telling people to add you on Facebook is a red flag for me. That is just not professional. 1 Quote
reachva Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Agreed with the above. Reach Airways was in development for 6 months before I opened the doors to hiring only AFTER I had set up a website and got everything functional and in place for it. I used those six months to establish the airlines idea, researching other VAs and what pilots were interested in and also looking at areas where Reach could stand out from the other airlines. I also used the time to create repaints, trial routes and do some basic preparations for advertising on various forums and videos for youtube. Establishing a successful VA isn't an instant overnight thing, like a real business it takes much planning and preparation beforehand otherwise you're doomed to fail from the start. 2 Quote
freshJet Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Agreed with Adem. I announced freshJet saying in September 2010 but didn't open door until February 2011. And good luck with the freshest VA ever Quote
SkiesTheLimit Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Good Luck Vincent! I have to tell you, it took me since about November (so around 4 months) until I actually opened AAV's doors to recruitment, and operations started. As of now we have 7 active pilots, and our website could still use improvement (always room for improvement), so I suggest working on your virtual airline's site, scheme, and more before advertising. Again, wish you luck. Quote
Strider Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 If you really want this to be a good VA, forget about advertising it now. Concentrate on getting the design done, getting your plan organised, and implementing that plan. You will have multiple parts to the plan that must be done in sequence, for it to be a success. My VA, I started it years ago, and it failed so I put it on hold. Planned it better. It took me 4 to 5 years to get it planned out properly. Now look, I have a successful VA. So Time is everything when it comes to starting a VA. Yes I took a lot of time, and it took a good bit of money, but it has paid off. There have been so many one month VA's posting here, that it isn't funny anymore, and we don't want to see another one month VA. It may surprise you, but we want you to succeed, but that means you need to do the work. We can help you when you need help. But dont advertise for pilots yet. You will need staff before you open and get pilots. You will also need to have something to show to get the staff. Quote
iGavB Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 I have to agree with some of these posts, while our VA is also a 2 "monther", I ensured our website, SmartCARS, Forums etc were all running, tested and working before I posted our URL anywhere. To come on here without it just isnt a good start to your VA. That said however, from one fresh VA to another, I wish you the best of luck! Quote

I think it's safe to say it's already long gone. Quote
