MYT Virtual - You'll like where we're going!
Relaunch for operations on 4th April 2007
------
Words from the CEO
------
'Today is a monumental day for MYT Virtual. After taking over MYT Virtual I have made many changes to the VA. We now have a new staff team, new
website and systems and realistic operations. All of these changes will ensure that the future for our Virtual Airline is bright and being part of the
Fly UK Group offers the VA security and a wealth of knowledge and know how from an already established VA that will only allow our VA to flourish and
ultimately become the best Charter VA in the UK!
I am very pleased with the progress we as a VA have made. The staff team has been working frantically for the past month to bring our planned opening
date forward by five months! This will now allow us to re-open our VA to our current pilots and also will allow us to recruit new members into our
community and allow them to share our first class facilities so that their flight simulation experience can be be second to none.
I would like to thank all our members who have stuck by us in the adversity that we have faced in recent months, but as promised we have risen from
the ashes and now the new era of MYT Virtual has begun!'

Changes at MYT Virtual
------
After several weeks of preparation, MYT Virtual is now up and running with CEO Chris Miley firmly 'behind the controls.' After becoming incorporated
into the Fly UK group of Virtual airlines, MYT Virtual now has a completely revamped site layout and now shares the Fly UK SkyHigh forums and their
24/7 TeamSpeak server. The move has been beneficial to both parties and we hope to be able to gain a more widely spread member base, but still have
the ultimate goal of becoming the best Charter VA in the UK. Read on to find out more or visit http://www.mytravelvirtual.com for a complete look at our venture.
The new forums for MYT Virtual can be found at http://www.flyukva.com/flyuk/forums. These are known as the SkyHigh Forums and are shared between, Fly UK and
MYT Virtual.
As well as a new look VA, we have a new staff team. The details can be found below.
From a web and systems point of view, there will be a new way in which pilots file their PIREPS. Pilots can now fill in one form; when they have
landed at their destination and then submit the PIREP. The hours will then be logged directly into their logbook, so there is no waiting around for
PIREPS to be validated. With this new system in place almost every aspect of the VA will be automated, however the strong community that MYT Virtual
contains will still be a very influential and important factor when new decisions are to be made by management, and any decision that is made will be
for the benefit of the VA community.
------
Fleet and Ops
------
Here at MYT Virtual we want to give our pilots as much choice as possible. Hence we have chosen the four real world aircraft operated by the real
MyTravel for our fleet. These aircraft utilise the best freeware models on the web and are painted in a professional way so it really is as real as it
gets. Secondly for the pilots who wish to fly with the utmost realism and quality, we will also be offering payware repaints for all of our aircraft,
these being for the Level D 767-300, and the PSS Airbus's A320, A321 and the A330-200.
Our fleet consists of a modern selection of medium and longhaul airliners, which are all painted in the current livery of MyTravel. Our fleet consists
of the A320-212, A321-200, A330-200 Rolls Royce Variant and the Boeing 767-300ER.
------
Note from the Ops manager
------
The last few weeks have been very hectic here in the Operations Department as I took up my new role. However from the labouring comes a new era of
exciting flights and schedules revolving around the real MyTravel. We feel that as a VA which is based on the workings of a real airline it is
important that we get our routes and operations set in a manner that would not be too dissimilar from their real world operations.
Choose from over 220 flights to various destinations all over the globe, using our varied fleet of aircraft. If you like sun, sea and sand, then MYT
Virtual is the VA for you. And with more new flights planning on being added, giving you even more choice, you really will like where we're going.
Join today at http://www.mytravelvirtual.com
The routes we are using are from MyTravel's Winter Schedule and the VA shall be using these until the summer season begins shortly when we shall be
changing to MyTravel's Summer Schedules. Which will mean more hard work on the staff teams behalf, but will all be worth it in the long run. Hopefully
when everything is in place we can concentrate on making sure that MYT Virtual is the best Charter VA out there.
------
Online Flying
------
To make MYT Virtual as real as possible, we have enforced that all flights are made online on either IVAO or on Vatsim online networks. This makes the
VA as real as possible and will also maintain a professional and realistic image. We feel that it is important for pilots to fly online in
circumstances which are as real as possible to help enforce our company policy, and also to offer members a VA which is real, unlike many others.
On the subject of online flying, we are pleased to announce that we will be holding our launch event on Saturday 7th at 18:00 on the IVAO network. The
flight will take you from Manchester Ringway to Ibiza, you are more than welcome to join us along the way, the more the merrier. Pilots are allowed to
fly any of the MYT Virtual aircraft on this route, this then gives members as much choice as possible.
It is also planned to host at least one event every two weeks on either IVAO or Vatsim and in some circumstances, on both networks. Events are a way
of bringing a larger number of people together at once to enjoy their shared hobby.
The main goal at MYT Virtual is to run a friendly and realistic Virtual Airline operation for anyone who wishes to fly under the MyTravel brand, we
wish you all the best and hope that you will make the right choice and join one of the best Charter VA's on the web, MYT Virutal.
