News / Pilot Training Department Recruiting Help To Modernize PRC
« on: February 23, 2013, 06:09:01 PM »
One of the main goals of VATSIM is to create an environment, which is fun and, at the same time, an educational and realistic simulation of procedures followed by pilots and air traffic controllers everyday around the world.

A very important aspect of what we do is welcoming new pilots and assisting them to get on and succeed in our virtual airspace and, at the forefront of this initiative is the Pilot Resource Center. The Pilot Training Department has begun a project to modernize this area of the website. This will involve reinvigorating the excellent content that is already in place and, introduce new content that supports the training towards pilot ratings provided by ATOs.

To assist with this process, we are inviting applications from those who would like to volunteer some of their time to act as content authors. Perhaps you have some material already written that you’d be kind enough to donate or, have a great idea for an article. You may just wish to help us out in any way you can. We intend on completing the first stage of modernization in English and later, expand it to include other-language translations. If you’d like to volunteer as a translator we would be very grateful to hear from you.

Please send in a short letter of interest to [email protected] stating your main area of interest or if you have any pre-written articles you’d be kind enough to donate. All authors will be fully credited on the VATSIM.net website and you’ll be part of one of the most important and notable projects that the network has ongoing.

Yours sincerely,
Callum McLoughlin
Head of PRC Modernization

Congratulations Mark! I am confident that choosing you for this position will prove to be a very good move for the Western Region and VATUSA. Your "pride and ownership" approach is exactly what the Region and the Division needs. I am very eager to start working with you to help move VATUSA forward to a bright future.

The competition for this role was intense and proved to be a very hard decision for us. There were several very qualified people willing to take on this role. To all of the extremely talented and dedicated people that applied, I would like to thank you for volunteering to step up and take on this role.

NOTAMs / New Director of the United States Division
« on: February 12, 2013, 04:14:17 AM »
I too would like to again say thank you for all the good wishes sent our way! The support we are receiving is truly inspiring.

I was very confident going into this that both Don and I have the same goals for the direction of our Division. After a week on the job, I am happy to report that our goals are starting to come to fruition. As Don indicated, our number one priority has been to get our Division HQ staffed with talented, productive members. We are well on our way to doing just that. I too am floored at the caliber of the applicants that are volunteering to help us move VATUSA forward. The final selections are going to be extremely hard to choose. It most likely come down to some more rock, paper, scissors matches to decide. The applicants are that good. I am very eager to finish the selections and have a meeting with a full Division Staff to discuss and lay out the road map to what I believe will be a very bright future for our Division.

NOTAMs / Northeastern Region Air Traffic Director Position
« on: February 10, 2013, 01:16:34 PM »
Team USA,

After more than three years in the Western Region ATD position, Tom Seeley has asked for and been approved for a change to the Northeastern Region ATD position. As he does most of his controlling in Boston, New York and Cleveland, it makes sense, and it's in his time zone as well.

This change is effective immediately. Until a new Western Region ATD is selected, Tom will continue to act as the Western Region ATD and will be available for any issues or needs.

Tom has also graciously agreed to continue as Instructor for Oakland Oceanic until a suitable replacement can be found.

NOTAMs / New Director of the United States Division
« on: February 04, 2013, 06:12:53 PM »
Team USA,

Congrats to Don! I don't think a better person could have been chosen for our Division. Don brings a lot of experience and dedication to VATUSA. He has some great ideas and visions that  will help improve the VATSIM experience for all of us.

I would like to thank Gary Millsaps for his dedication and service to our Division. In my eyes, he always did a great job. In the many dealings with Gary I had, I always found him to be very polite and personable. I will always admire his dedication and passion to our hobby.

I am thrilled and honored to have been selected to serve our Division as Deputy Director. I feel VATUSA is the finest Division in VATSIM. I am very much looking forward to helping Don lead us into an even brighter future.

I don't think of the rock, paper, scissors match as a loss at all. I too was asked the same questions as Don was in regards to what direction I feel the Division should go. Though I pretty much already knew how Don feels about things, this confirmed it to me. Don has the same ideas and suggestions about our direction as I do. More importantly though, these are the same ideas that have been shared by many of the ATM's during a poll for qualifications of a new director. With that in mind, it seems that we are going to be off to a good start.

I have spent most of today knocking the dust off my desk. I have a new coffee pot and am now ready to get down to the business of helping to put our Division at the top of the game. As Don said, the first order of business will be to begin taking applications and filling the vacant positions in the VATUSA staff. Don and I both agreed that our number one priority would be to have a fully staffed and active Division staff. Our top goal is to make Division staff as accessible to members as possible. Immediately after that we will begin implementing ideas to make our Division even better. I look forward to working with all of the VATUSA staff and also to working with the many ARTCC members to make VATUSA the greatest Division in VATSIM.

VATUSA is a fantastic Division, we have an insanely vast amount of talent amongst our members. I hope to help continue to develop that talent to it's fullest potential.

I am looking forward to working in my new role and with the great team that is VATUSA!

You will not be assigned an ARTCC, that is your choice.

Usually ATC will send a message to you to contact them. You can also contact them on your own just prior to entering their airspace. There are several programs that show which sectors are being manned. Servinfo, Vattastic, vRoute, and others. Personally I use Servinfo a lot.
