what do you guys use who are running your own va's for generating routes?do you use specific routing software? if so how much and where? or do you just figure them out by hand ciao!Brian S

Brian,May I suggest you visit Vancouver Island Virtual Airlines and check out how Ken Peters has set things up. Join the forums and ask any questions you may have. I believe his email address is on the site somewhere. Study how the pirep system works and how it displays a snippet the submitted pireps on the front page.Also, VIVA is a model 'easy going' VA as well :-)http://www.vanisleva.com/index.phpA second 'easy going' VA to visit and perhaps get some ideas from is Payette Air Charter. Check it out and please visit the forums. Payette is actually an indivudual VA that belongs to a 'group' of VA's that all share a forum space. That approach is nice as it allows all the VA's to interact with each other and foster a nice 'family' atmosphere.There are both 'Bush' type outfits but could easily be setup for Larger planes as well.Good Luck Brian :-)http://www.payetteaircharter.com/
