In other news, TransGear Virtual Airways (TGA) held possibly its last, original-format event on March 13th. Despite being plagued by new glitches in 2.0 and the MP server, the event was a technical success. Organizer Rob Shearman (MD-TERP) plans for a bold, new format for upcoming events, involving two, intermediate-stop airport hubs instead of one, final destination hub. Alternatives had been looked at, such as a European Hub, but the airline is now committing itself to the new format. Updates can be found at [transgear.treborlogic.com].

===Despite VA Underpopulation Crisis, Multiple VAs spring up in AVA turmoil===
==New VAs Spring Up On Forums==
The disease that is sucking the life out of the FlightGear Virtual Airline industry has been diagnosed as underpopulation; too few pilots, too many airlines. To combat this problem, one of the variables must be addressed. The easiest thing to do is to lower the number of VAs, which has been started with the merging of Atlas Virtual Airlines. During the sometimes confusing debates over AVA, one thing appeared to be agreed on: the creation of new VAs had to stop. However, this did not prevent two, new airlines from rising up: Triangle Airlines, COed by Jericho, and Sandy Oceania Airlines, owned by QF52. Both are facing increasing pressure to terminate their new airlines or merge into AVA.


Two new VAs, independent from the new Atlas Virtual Airlines, have emerged: Triangle Airlines, run by user Jericho, and Sandy Oceania Airlines, COed by QF52. Both promise expanded fleets and will operate the Airbus A380, and livery designs are in the making. Progress can be followed on the Forums.
