Virtual Airlines
If you have aspirations to be a pilot but in real life will never get off the ground, then perhaps working with a virtual airline might satisfy you. Do you know what virtual airlines are? There are organizations in cyberspace that are dedicated to the gaming subculture of flight simulation. Now, these virtual airlines are not along the lines of the shoot’em up type of games. Rather, they simulate real-life airlines and all that they entail.

While you can probably create virtual airlines on your own, why bother? There are quite a few on the internet that are already established. In order to become a pilot in one of these virtual airlines, you must have flight simulator experience as well as software like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

A Whole New World With Virtual Airlines: -
Not only do flight simulator enthusiasts get to take their game to a whole new level, they can “travel” virtually too. As a pilot, you could decide to join the British Airways virtual airline. You could be assigned flights to worldly destinations like Budapest or Amsterdam or places in your own backyard in the UK.

If you want to travel to the northwest of the United States, you could join the crew of the Northwest virtual airline. They fly routes to Alaska and other locales in the area. And if you want Alaska as your home base as a pilot, you can sign on with Alaska virtual airlines.

Delta virtual airlines fly all over the United States as well as a few overseas destinations. And that’s not the only United States based virtual airline. There is also the US Airways virtual home as well. There are various sites which offer these online virtual airline flights and have a hierarchy system similar to a “real” airline. They have CEO’s, President’s, Operations Manager’s and of course, pilots.

Here are some other virtual airlines that you can find in cyberspace today:

1. Quantas virtual airlines

You can even sign on as a virtual tourist and find virtual discounts with UK virtual airlines and even Manila airlines. This virtual business has taken a life of its own on the internet and thousands upon thousands of flight simulator enthusiasts are hopping aboard a virtual airline.
