Hi.

So, what the title says. It would be nice to fly for a virtual airline in this new community that celebrates the federated environment. Hearing something like ‘Federated Airlines’, or ‘Lemmy Airways’ etc. in VATSIM would IMO eventually help attracting users. Same as, for example, that Hoggit Fighter Wing. I don’t necessarily want to mention any other aggregation webs, just using it as an example.

I recently learned of some VA online software that makes it easier than it used to be, such as NewSky. If by September or so, when I am back from where I’ll spend the summer time, there is none, I might go ahead and try creating it myself.

I just leave here the naive idea in case someone has the will, energy, time and resources to do it.

EDIT: I couldn’t help but dig into the idea and already coming up with what I’d like/plan to do.

Name: DecentralAir (DEC) - generic enough not to be specific to Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.
Charter focused, more than fixed routes. This goes in the line of freedom and decentralization.
As HQ, it will be KFFA. Not a big airport, but a significant one for aviation. Then there can be as many hubs as needed, not a central one.
Still thinking of what a good logo would be.
