Explain Concept of Virtual Airlines?

Virtual Airlines (VA's) come in different guises but the basics are:
You sign up with them
They assess your piloting skills (sometimes with a quiz)
They give you a rank according to your skills
They let you fly certain aircraft according to your rank/skills
They let you download aircraft fleet that they have created in their livery.
You pick which airport you want as your hub
They task you with flights that need to be done
At the end of the flight you file a report and they "award you accordingly"
Some rack up your account with "Virtual salaries"
You get promoted as hours are completed and the aircraft that you are rated to fly increases accordingly

They often have a local hub manager who will task you with the flights they want you to do.

Thanks for that, 2 more questions;

Do I have to pay?

Is ATC done by the VA?

ATC it is performed by VATSIM
check out www.vatsim.net

You normally don't have to pay.

VATSIM is one possibility, IVAO is another. Also, many VAs allow you to fly your routes offline, using the sim ATC.

That sounds really nice 😀 I've never heard of Virtual Airlines. I'm going to find some information about it... 😛
