How to Register with a Virtual Airline

Ready to join a Virtual Airline? Here is how to find one, register, and what happens next.

Finding a Virtual Airline

There are several ways to find VAs to join:

• VA websites and social media - Most VAs advertise their registration link on their website, Discord, or social channels.

• MyNextAirline - The vAMSYS VA directory at mynextairline.com lets you browse and discover VAs. Find one you like and click through to their registration page.

• Partner VAs - If you already fly for a VA, check your VA selection screen for partner airlines you can join easily.

Registration Process

If You Already Have a vAMSYS Account

1. Go to the VA's registration link

2. Log in with your existing vAMSYS account

3. Accept the VA's rules (if required)

4. Your pilot account is created (or submitted for review)

If You Are New to vAMSYS

1. Go to the VA's registration link

2. Create a vAMSYS account with your email

3. Verify your email address

4. Complete the VA registration

5. Accept the VA's rules (if required)

Registration Review

Some VAs manually review applications before creating pilot accounts. If review is enabled:

1. You submit your registration

2. You receive a confirmation email that your application is under review

3. VA staff reviews your application

4. You receive an email when accepted (or rejected)

Review times vary by VA - some review within hours, others may take days. Check the VA's Discord or website for expected wait times.

Joining Partner Airlines

If your VA has Pilot Sharing Agreements with other VAs, you can join them easily:

1. Log in to vAMSYS

2. On the VA selection screen, look for partner airlines

3. Click to join - registration is streamlined

Partner VAs may still have registration review enabled, so you might wait for approval.

After Registration

Once your pilot account is created:

• You receive a welcome email with your username and login link

• Log in to Phoenix to access your pilot dashboard

• Download Pegasus ACARS if you want to track flights automatically

• Check if your VA has initial activity requirements - you may need to fly within a certain period

Joining Multiple VAs

You can fly for multiple Virtual Airlines with one vAMSYS account. Each VA gives you a separate pilot account with its own:

• Username

• PIREP history

• Rank and points

• Activity requirements

Switch between VAs using the VA selection screen after login.

Troubleshooting

Registration link not working?

• Check if the VA is still active - contact them through their Discord or website

• Make sure you have the correct link

Application rejected?

• Check the rejection email for the reason

• Contact the VA if you believe it was in error

• Some VAs allow reapplication - check their policies

Already have a pilot account that was removed?

• If the VA allows rejoining, you can register again

• Your previous data may or may not be restored depending on VA settings

• You are given a new username by default - the next one in your VA's sequence - and your old one stays with the closed account

• Whether your initial activity window starts again depends on how you rejoin: a brand-new pilot account starts a fresh window, while an account restored in place keeps its original start date unless your VA has switched the reset on

• You receive your VA's standard welcome email again by default; a separate returning-pilot email is only sent if the VA has written one

• If you were permanently removed, you cannot rejoin that VA
