Virtual Airlines parasites

Since some months that nowadays everyone can have a VA. Why ? VA frameworks.

We just need to download get an account on a website, download a "phpVMS or whatever" package, sign on their site, configure the VA and ... boom! It's up and running!

Difference between them? The logo. Everything is the same. Same features, same ideas, same strategies.

I wonder why the person that wants to have a VA don't stop for 5 seconds to really think why should he create one ... after all what will he present to differ from the other ones? Why will a pilot change to his VA if he doesn't offer anything new or innovative?

Fully person-built  VA's like EuroHarmony or FlyUK are definitely ending because it's hard to find good (or at least someone!) PHP developers that could help them. So, they prefer just to be "one more VA" than to help other VA's grow strong by giving their 2 cents to the VA community.

In conclusion, if you're reading this and you do want to have a VA, remember that if you don't bring anything new then don't even spend your time creating it.
