| Virtual Eastern operates
an extensive network of domiciles, traditionally called 'hubs' at other virtual airlines.
While all of VEA's domiciles are airports where pilots can be based, they are
usually not 'hubs' in the literal sense of the word. Eastern only operated a handful
of hubs, most notably at Atlanta and Miami, and to a lesser extent in Kansas City and New
York. This does not mean that the non-hub domiciles have limited flights however.
While some domiciles may offer more flights than others, each domicile is unique in
its own way, and all offer extensive and varying flight schedules. Additionally,
there are several 'focus cities' that are not domiciles (such as Chicago O'Hare and
Washington National). Choosing a domicile at VEA should be a careful decision, as it
will be the airport to which you must return to every 10 flights, and therefore will be
one of, if not the primary station in your flights.

In addition to the
domiciles offered to new pilots, existing VEA pilots may transfer to a new domicile at a
maximum rate of once per month. In certain circumstances, VEA also offers some
pilots the option to transfer to one of our 'focus cities' as a domicile. If you are
interested in this option, please contact management with your request, or submit a
request via the pilot system.
