At the end of this month VAFS will be setting a fee to use their program. Its about $6 a month. Are we going to stay or leave and make or find another thing that can do the same things VAFS did or pay for it?

The $5.99/month fee is for the whole VA, not each VAFS user.

Still, John, how are we (as the UVA community) going to handle this?

Yes we will continue to use this great program! You can expect an email about this here in the near future. I will explain more later when more information is availabe. I expect the next NOTAMS email to be sent on either Fri(14th) or Sat(15th).

Thanks for the concern!

this my sound stupid but... i was thinking(oh no......this cant be good)
I was thinking that the guy running the vafs deal is going to hit ppl up to use the service(ok with me 6 or so bucks is fair) im sure he pays for the server n such. but i saw there were hundreds of virtual airlines using his service. i was wondering if mby a CEO can send an e-mail to him suggesting a lil prize for the top airline mby something like buying 3 payware aircraft to give to the top airline for the month. witch in turn is givn to like the 3 top pilots for that airline.
i dunno may sound kinda lame but this guy could prolly boost his business by offering ppl a lil prize at the end of the month.
does this sound nuts to everyone or? he wouldnt spend but tops $100 a month, n thats nothing when you do the math on what hes pulling in.
as soon as ppl find out theres something to gain, more airlines will join n bring him even more income im guessing.

just something i thought about
also i hope to send some cash to help out im not workn right now but it wont be long and ill be able to send some to help keep the service going for us.

yeh i have a feeling he is taking money for himself. even though there are hundreds of va's most of them will quit but there still will be about 50 or so. 50X5=250. i personally dont think he is paying that much for a server.
