Hi all,

For those who don’t know, I’m the last of the original ExpertFlyer founders that is still working at Red Ventures/TPG after the 2018 acquisition of ExpertFlyer, however I’ve been posting as EFV for long before that. After almost 20 years of running the business, this Friday is my last day at ExpertFlyer/RV and this is the last time I will post as EFV.

I’m telling you this because I don’t know what the future has in store for ExpertFlyer. I hope that the new version of EF that we’ve been working on gets finished and released and that EF survives as a standalone product, but unfortunately that is something I no longer have control of. I hope that whoever will be taking over the service will continue to be part of the FT community and posting as EFV, however I don’t know what form future community outreach may take.

ExpertFlyer was launched in 2005 with the goal of providing a service to help FTers travel better, and your support helped us grow from there. My co-founders and I thank you!

In the future you’ll be able to find me here @lopinc1 on FT and I’m sure I’ll still be involved in the industry looking for new problems to solve. Until then, safe travels everyone!

Chris (EFV)
