A Message from the CEO: Website Update
Dear Southwest Virtual Airlines Pilots,I’m excited to share an update on the progress of our new website and LUVCARS system. Over the last two weeks, our platform has officially entered beta testing, and we’ve already received incredible feedback from our initial beta testers.
In addition to launching beta, we’ve also expanded our Technology Department with a team of highly skilled and passionate staff dedicated to making Southwest Virtual Airlines the best experience possible for our pilots. Their commitment to excellence is helping shape the future of our VA, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.
As we work through beta testing, our plan is to gradually expand the beta team over the next month, allowing more pilots to participate on a case-by-case basis. We want to stabilize key features before bringing in a larger group, and we appreciate your patience while we refine the system.
Looking ahead, I anticipate making a formal announcement when we are approximately 30 days from the official website launch. When the time comes, the transition will require a 12-24 hour system downtime as we migrate data from our current server to a faster, more robust platform. We will communicate the exact date of this downtime once we near the end of beta.
Our goal is to deliver the best possible platform for our pilots, and we are committed to ensuring that this upgrade meets the high standards we’ve set as an organization. Your patience and enthusiasm mean the world to us, and we promise this upgrade will be well worth the wait.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Southwest Virtual Airlines. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!
Blue Skies & Tailwinds,
BRADEN THOMPSON
Chief Executive Officer
