Have you signed up with an ARTCC yet?

Anthony:

You'll get your S1 rating after you complete any initial tests and training with your home ARTCC. Contact them to begin your training.

Have you been flying this entire time since '99? If not, I'd assume that your account went inactive.

Congrats Gary!

Good grief, Charlie Brown. ANOTHER bureaucratic position created for the network to gag on. Well done folks. Looking at that list of "requirements" you're almost groveling for some butt-kissing 40 year old who lives in his mom's basement to step in and fill the role to acquire some make believe, feel-good, self-important title. Just start begging already. Chances are, anybody who has been around the network any amount of time won't touch this, or any other position with a 100 yard pole.

The highlight of this "job requirement"?


READ: We want a certifiably qualified butt kisser to take this position. For your trouble, we will ride you like Sea Biscuit, give you a superficial meaningless title, maybe a Supervisor rating (which is worthless in and of itself) and monitor, censor, and then undermine everything that you attempt to accomplish. And then we want you to keep quiet when we do it. You have fun with that, y'all.

Something to think about: There is a reason that there has yet to be a Division Director within VATUSA that has lasted more than 6 months in 2 years. This trend started at the ARTCC level, and found its way into the Division Staff level.  Now, I know that this isn't a Division level position, but its something to think about and consider. Just sayin'.

But it sure will be interesting to see what 18 year old kid / 40 year old man living with mom gets picked to "represent" VATSIM in front of "350"  virtual airlines.

Damn, you must have already applied. I guess I shouldn't.

Bryan, let me try this again.

Why should I believe you, or anyone that answers this thread?  Down the road, when someone needs the support of the chain of command, often one of the original three things in the first post are referenced, thus shutting down whatever this person was doing, regardless of how far up the chain it was approved.

So again, why should I believe anything you say here, if down the road, someone can simply use one of he excuses listed above?

That is the first question that needs to be answered.  If we can't depend on the answers you give, then why waste the time discussing them?

Hope that helps, sorry for being blunt, and be assured, there is no sarcastic tone.

So let me get this straight: he tries to help you by giving you an answer, and you call it BS? WOW.

All you seem to be doing is instigating fights with every single staff member that tries to give you some sort of an answer. EVERY single post of yours is a bash against any sort of leadership that comes onto these forums and tries to help you out with some sort of clarification on an issue. It's absolutely pathetic.
All you want to do is fight about any single issue that you feel is not right when it means ABSOLUTELY nothing to you. Let's revisit that ZAB thread... how did that effect you? It didn't, so why get involved?

All you should worry about as FE at ZAU is what your ATM tells you to do. Or better yet, you become VATUSA1 and see how you do. I'd bet money that you'd resign just as fast and get less done then the rest of them with the attitude that you have.

Be assured, there is no sarcastic tone.

The answer in my opinion is you talk with your "chain of command", and get it in writing. This thread I predict will have a shelf life of a few hours before it turns into another pitchfork and torch fest against the BoG/EC.

That's what this question is... as are most posts by Jason recently.
