Seven virtual airlines of the same airline?
« on: December 29, 2011, 10:38:33 AM »
Ok, how does one figure out a virtual airline with no less than seven variations?

You've got:

Southwest Virtual at http://www.virtualswa.com/
Southwest Virtual at http://www.swavirtual.com/
Southwest Airlines Virtual for Flight Simulator USA Online at http://www.southwestairva.com/
Southwest Virtual at http://www.swava.net/
Southwest Virtual Airlines at http://southwestvirtualairlines.org/
Southwest Virtual Airlines at http://flysouthwestva.webs.com/
Southwest Virtual Airlines at http://www.swvirtual.net/

Who's who and what's what? Without getting into "my daddy can beat your daddy", I'm looking for some objective information:
Who's been around longer?
Who has the most pilots?
Who is the most active?
Things like that.

Once that's covered then give me some subjective info about why one might be better than another but, please leave egos and personalities out of it.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Don't quote me, but I think http://www.swavirtual.com/ is the most popular of the group. I may be wrong.

This might be a biased view because I'm a staff member and long time pilot of one of the SWA's but here you go...


Who's been around longer? I believe thats virtualswa.com
Who has the most pilots? swavirtual.com (through quick roster searches)
Who is the most active? swavirtual.com (taken from the website for current online flights)  This one had 16 activly flying, virutalswa.com had two, the rest had zero).  Also, according to teamspeak viewers, swavirtual.com had 7 on, the rest of them (that have teamspeaks) had zero on.  

I can tell you that two of the airlines you have listed are 'spin offs' from swavirtual.com from former pilots of that airline.

Hope that helps!
