Virtual Project Forward will revolutionize the ways of not only Virtual United, but also the Virtual Community. To begin, you have to be social. The community is what makes your airline succeed. At Virtual United were are working on moving to new heights with the start of live streaming on Twitch.tv. Next is realism. By working with our new members on the staff team, we are improving and adding those routes that you love to fly. There is nothing worst then looking forward to a flight, but not having it in the database. This is all being improved so if Star Alliance has it, then so do we. Organization is another key factor for something to succeed. In our case, Virtual Project Forward will improve the navigation of a new interface. Not going to say much, but don’t be surprised if one day there is a new website layout. This also ties into the visually appealing aspect. If something looks appealing, then it is proven more people will be drawn to it.

In conclusion, we would like to welcome you to Virtual United as we make a new beginning with Virtual Project Forward. These changes will help us tackle our goal of making Virtual United Social Club Inc. a place where flight sim enthusiasts can come to have a good time and fly for one of the most elite airlines in North America.

Welcome to August! We hope you are all having a nice and relaxing summer. For the management team here at Virtual United Social Club, Inc., it is definitely a busy part of the year, however, it has also been very rewarding! From receiving our non-profit organization seal and official documents to having a record breaking summer in terms of PIREPs filed, everyone in the community is striving for further success. Without further ado, here is our August 2015 Press Release for the end of July and August.

Starting off, we have had many changes within our management team. In the Human Resources Department, Sam Mussen has been appointed the Senior Vice President of the department. Sam brings past knowledge of

the organization back to the table and has already delivered great results for the department. In the Communications and Marketing Department, Mark Savard has been re-appointed the Senior Vice President of the department. After having to resign from the position back in December due to time restrictions, Mark returns with new plans and strategies to propel the organization into stronger partner relations and protrude through the use of social media. In the Community Affairs and Events Department, former Western Regional Manager Willie Woolridge, has been moved to the Senior Vice President position of the department. Willie comes to the department in high spirits and a great mindset in hopes of re-energizing the pilot base by creating more and more events. He also comes with past work experience in successful organizations.

With our CAT Free initiative being extended into August, and now, the entire summer, stunning results have already been seen. In only two and a half months, already 5,000 flights have been flown by Virtual United pilots! Keep up the amazing work everyone! Your continued commitment and enthusiasm for Virtual United Social Club is greatly appreciated.  From all of us in the management team, we hope you all have a great end to your summer.

Kind regards,
Mark Savard | msavard@virtualua.org
Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications & Marketing

A few big changes are underway here at Virtual UA, perhaps none larger than the rollout of our new ACARS program currently undergoing Beta testing. We will be rolling out ACARS v3 on November 1st, 2014, alongside an ACARS launch event currently in the making. ACARS v3 is not only an upgrade or simply a bug patch. It’s a complete rework from the ground up and represents the countless hours we spend behind the scenes making this VA better for you.

The ACARS is but one of many things underway here at Virtual UA. We’re currently working on content for our Pilot Shop and Discount Store, Pilot Recognition Programs i.e Best Landing Rate, Most Hours, etc., Awards to Compliment those Programs, A re-rejuvenated Events Department, and a complete sweep of our website to fix any existing bugs or to just add new content and make it as pilot friendly as possible.

We know you have choices in the flightsim community, so we offer our deepest, most heartfelt thank you to all of you help make our VA the best out there. We certainly wouldn’t be here doing all this if it weren’t for you, so THANK YOU.

Until next time,
Kind Regards,
VirtualUA Corporate Communications

Welcome to 2014 here at Virtual United! We have some big news to start you off with so let’s get started!

The first thing you probably noticed is our new logo. Yes, we are still the same www.virtualua.org but we decided to undergo a new corporate rebranding to provide a more modern and sophisticated look. This new logo comes with several alternate versions for publications and forum signatures so stay tuned. We also created several new features for our members. These include a brand new forums, a pilot welcome package with desktop wallpapers and FS splashscreens, and lots more on the way for the new year!

Speaking of development, we are starting off the year with a bang. In the coming weeks, we will release another promotional video as well as some videos in coordination with our awesome partners. Probably the largest item on the agenda is a new face for Virtual United. We will be starting the process of revamping our current site to make it more functional and even give our pilots some features never before seen at a virtual airline. Stay tuned for more!

So the question rises, why all of these new updates? Is it just a bunch of new year resolutions? Of course not! Today we would like to announce some BIG news. After several months of negotiations and hard work, we have received official recognition from United Airlines, Inc. What does this mean for you, our pilots? Well it means now we have more resources to continue providing what we have done in the past year, just expect a lot more of it! This will include: product giveaways, contests with great prizes, discounts to our partners’ websites, and maybe even a real world convention for all of Virtual United’s staff and members!

Now the numbers. We are getting down to business here at Virtual United and our numbers are reflecting it. As of today, we have 326 ACTIVE pilots in our system and we average 60+ PIREPS per day! We also have launched weekly events and hub battles so be sure to check those out! As United does in the real world, we will be flying Team USA to Sochi for the Winter Olympics starting January 25, 2014.

With all of this news to track, these press releases may not be enough. Even if you aren’t a member yet, which you should be, come check out our Facebook page. We post daily to keep you updated with the organization’s status. You surely will not want to miss out on the big things coming for Virtual United. https://www.facebook.com/virtualunitedair

None the less, have a great day and blue skies, we hope to see your soon here at www.virtualua.org!
