Nope, I'm not a great airliner fan, I'm more into fighters, anywhere from WWI to modern times.

When I play MSFS I usually pick those, or stunt planes or helo's. But I don't play FS much, I rather play IL2 or Falcon or LockOn and such.

Direct from the Wikipedia:

Quote from: Wikipedia
Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator.[3] This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline.[3] Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.[4]
