To All Of Our Pilots,

February, like January, was one of our best months ever. We set new highs for total pilots, PIREPs, tied last month's record for new pilots, and had the second most flight hours in our history. Much of this growth was spurred by the addition of Delta Virtual, our ninth virtual airline.

First Fly-In Planned
SimAirline.net will be hosting its first fly-in on March 15, at Newark Liberty International Airport. Details are available here. A location for our second event, near the end of the month, has not yet been finalized, but it will be a major European airport. We hope to begin organizing real-life pilot meetings for April.

New Management Staff
The following pilots recently joined our management team, or took on additional responsibilities:
Kyle Bissell - Alaska Fleet Manager
Corey Ford: Aircraft Developer - U.S.
Andrew Haenisch: Virgin Fleet Manager
Bryan O'Donnell: Continental Fleet Manager
Peter Tsouratakis: Delta Fleet Manager
David Velez: Events Coordinator

Flying Tigers Deal Called Off
Flying Tigers withdrew their proposal to combinine operations with SimAirline.net last month, and discussion on the subject in our Message Boards has died down.

Two Management Positions for Hire
We still need to fill the position of Scenery Manager and Sabena Fleet Manager. If you are interested in either of these positions, please go here. The position requires fewer than five hours per week, less than the average time spent by a pilot flying each month.

Downloads Section Opens
Our Downloads section opened late last month, and contains useful programs, utilities, and other add-ons. Airport scenery is being added, and charts and hub information are also being planned.

SimAirline.net grows stronger every month. Thank you for continuing to be part of our organization, and making it stronger every day. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
