General Discussion / A sad state of affairs
« on: April 24, 2011, 07:28:08 PM »
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]OK, right off the bat, your first statement is incorrect. Just because the questions you WANT to be answered aren't being answered, doesn't mean the leadership feels its none of our business.[/quote]

I didn't say that is WHAT it meant; I stated how it made ME feel. My point is by not responding to a question or request we as a community are being disrespected.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]With regards to the vacancies of the Training Director and ATD spot, where's the problem? Just because titles exist and there isn't a name associated with the title, doesn't necessarily mean the responsibilities of the position aren't being filled[/quote]

And now I suppose a Deputy Director.

If I lost both arms and a leg I could surely function, not as efficiently as I could with all my limbs but sure I could get by, make people laugh, earn a living, but it sure is going to be harder on my one leg. The positions were put into place for a reason left unfilled it puts unnecessary strain on others and less important things get put on the back burner so to speak. Tom thanks for taking up the slack.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]And what would you like this policy to say? I can't imagine how you could make this policy objective in any way.[/quote]

Something to the effect of:

Upon the vacancy of (insert position here) an announcement shall be made to the membership that the division is accepting applicants to fill said position within a certain time frame. The pool of applicants shall then be reviewed by the Division Director and Deputy Director and a suitable applicant shall be chosen to fill said position within a reasonable amount of time.  Blah Blah.

Quote from: Zach Hutcherson
And those that complain should apply for the openings. Because the only way to change things and to get results is to be active, be involved, be sensible, and follow the system. If you don't like it, change it.


I'm working on it

I find it sad and extremely disrespectful that senior members of this community can not or will not take the time to answer simple questions/requests posted in this forum or elsewhere through out Vatusa. It tells me they feel what they are doing and how things are running is none of our business and if you don’t like the way we play this game you can go somewhere else.

 Currently our division is short a Training Director and a Regional Air Traffic Director yet no announcement of applications being accepted to fill these positions has been posted, maybe that is not how things are run here, maybe they just pick one of their friends or look to see who is doing the best job on a local level and fill the position when it is convenient, I can’t find a policy which covers this (there should be a policy). If there is something amiss, the person I believe responsible to check into any misconduct not only oversees our division as the Regional Director of Vatna he is also Deputy Director of Vatusa seems to me a conflict of interest and possibly a violation of the Code of Regulations. I could be mistaken but it is what is listed on the respective websites.

 Since my original post on the 22nd of April, over 300 have viewed the post which indicates to me the interest in the State of our Community.  Information and communication is important, it lets us know where we are as a community it allows interaction between Staff and Controllers to share ideas to help grow our hobby.  Take the time to keep us informed and quit hiding behind the scenes it doesn’t look kosher.

The views, comments and opinions expressed here are entirely my own and do not represent the views of any organization of which I am a part.

Respectfully,

General Discussion / State of VATUSA Address
« on: April 16, 2011, 07:57:30 AM »
However brief, It would be nice to hear from the Division or Deputy Director concerning the state of our Division. I have noticed that we are missing at least an ATD and a Training Director and yet  no announcement  of their departure or notice of application to replace them has been posted. There is a forum in the Notam section  USA Division Monthly Updates which says

"This forum will be used for the various VATUSA Staff Members to post periodic updates about what's going with the day to day operations of VATUSA."

There hasn't been a post since Dec 2009   e'nuff said

Thanks for your time and consideration in addressing this matter.
