Pilots,

Tonight we come to you with a heavy heart. After weeks of thought, debate, and literal soul searching, EastJet Virtual Airlines will cease operations at 12:01 AM February 15th. 2009.

We have had a great 7 months of operations. We have put ourselves up there with the Metro's. Fusions, and AvA's. We strived for the best, everyday. The hours upon hours spent working on EastJet are many but well worth every second. We hope the pilots can recognize the amount of time invested and the difficulty of this decision.

Many thanks to the great group of pilots, staff, outsiders looking in, and the frequent guests for helping us both learn the ins and outs of the VA life. We have always said, without you, EastJet would still be an idea searching for clarity.

All hours accumulated up until February 14th will be transferable via link available within the next 24 hours. At this time EastJet's rights, site, and image are retained and not for sale. We will have aircraft for sale in the coming week. For more information, please email ceo@eastjetvirtual.com.

It was an honor working with every single pilot at EastJet, any CEO/COO would be privileged to have each and every one of them on their roster.

Kind Regards,                                                                   

Shawn Fitts-CEO
Mathew Laiter-COO
