For a long time I have admire the Beechcraft 1900D in th Gulfstream International Airlines colors (continental commuter), but as I looked around vatsim I didnt find any VA that dedicated them selfs only Gulfstream operations. I was going to post this to see if anyone would be intrested in flying for a va that dedicates it self to flying around florida and the bahamas and a few flights up in the midwest, and also flying turbo-props. any thoughts on if a va like this would survive.
Thanks Stephen

It can definitely survive if run it correctly and don't get discouraged. Like the real world counterparts, VAs run simulating smaller airlines will have a smaller pilot base. Recently someone started Great Lakes Virtual, which flies only Beechcraft 1900Ds around the Colorado/Rocky Mountains area. It had been going quite well as far as I could see (there was/is a heavy GLA presence in my center airspace), but it looks like the CEO gave up and closed it for whatever reason. Just keep at it.

I am in the final processes of opening Virtual New Mexico Airlines, a couterpart to the real airline. They fly Cessna Grand Caravans to a few destinations within New Mexico & Texas. I have no intentions to go big school with this airline, as there are plenty of those.

see what you think of it:

I like the web design. It's pretty neat! The only thing I noticed right off the bat was the title for Screenshot (of the Month) but the image says Screenshot of the Week. haha but it looks good. Good luck.
