Finances, Experience Points, Ranks

FINANCES: All pilots flying on vaBase earn a flat fee of $1.00 a mile which goes into your virtual bank account. You can use these funds to make Jumpseat flights. We hope that in the future, you will be able to use the funds for other things like purchasing merchandise etc. With vaBase, we no longer simulate making money for the airline. Your entries of Passengers and Cargo weights are used only for monthly statistics. 

EXPERIENCE POINTS:   in vaBase, you earn experience points along with flight hours for your flights. Each rank now requires an amount of experience points along with flight hours to keep that rank. When you fly well, you earn more experience points towards your next rank. When you crash, have bad landings etc, you can lose experience points. If you fly bad enough and lose too many XP points, you can be demoted to the previous rank until you earn your points back. The XP point system prevents pilots from making a few long flights to advance in rank. XP points must be earned as well to promote.
