TexAir Virtual Airlines has returned to the skies after a period of inoperable circumstances. We've come back strong, too. We've got a great new website with all kinds of features, making pilot and visitor navigation a breeze. We also have three different ways to file a pirep and a fleet that works with three different flight simulators (MS only), making our compatibility with pilots the best its ever been. Our operations have been cut back from what they once were, reducing ourselves down to four hubs (AUS, DEN, LAS, PDX), with the remaining airports as focus locations. For the first time since we originally opened in 2006, we have a searchable flight schedule and a flight tracking map as part of our integrated and dynamic website.

We're hiring pilots for all four hubs, so come on by and join the team. We also have some staff positions available which can be found on our Staff Openings page.

After re-opening our doors a few weeks ago, TexAir has adjusted to its new system very well. The new website has been completed, bugs removed, and pilots have been joining for our three way pirep system and large schedule which offers a variety of flight options. The flight schedule continues to be built, and currently offers all "hub-to-hub" and "hub-to-focus" flights, with local "hub-to-spoke" routes being added daily. Our cargo division has been included in the activity.

Fleet
We offer a diverse fleet for new to veteran pilots. Our mainline aircraft consists entirely of Boeing products, and our smaller regional aircraft include manufacturers like DeHavilland, Bombardier, and Embraer. Our aircraft are divided into categories directly related to our pilot ranks which are based on hours of experience.
EMB-120
DHC-8-200
CRJ-200
CRJ-700
MD-83
B737-700
B737-800 (TicketAir Charters)
B757-200
B767-300 (& Freighter)
B777-300 (& Freighter)
B747-400 (& Freighter)

Flight Schedule
Our flight schedule is modeled (but not based) after many real world air carriers and, when completed, will offer a large number of destinations across North America and the Caribbean, and multiple destinations across the world. We fly to some of the most popular airports, but you'll also find flights to airports rarely or never serviced by commercial airlines (until now).

Pirep System
Our pirep system is a wonderful tool that allows pilots to pick from three different ways to fly our flights. We are FS Passengers & FS Acars certified, and we also offer manual pireps for the strictly online VATSIM flyer. These options combined with our flights give our pilots a great amount of options to choose from.

Hubs & Focus Airports
In the past our pilots were given the choice between as many as seven hubs/crew bases. During our reformation, it was decided that this number was far too high for the style in which we operate. So, we have cut back our hubs to four, but have kept our other airports (as well as the home airport of our charter division TicketAir) as focus airports. Crews may only be based at the four hubs, but our flights originate from all eight airports.
Hubs/Crew Bases: KAUS, KDEN, KLAS, KPDX
Focus Airports: KEWR, KHOU, KMSP, KTPA

Staff
We are also hiring staff members. We're looking for some Hub Directors to help verify pireps and keep pilots going. We also need an Events Director to keep airline activity up and promote our online presence back to what it once was (or more). See our Staff Openings page for information on how to apply.

So if you like the sound of a great virtual airline that's been around a while, then come by and apply. We are ready for pilots at all hubs.
