Title: VATUSA3 announces his retirement
Post by: Don Desfosse on June 04, 2016, 03:13:25 PM

Foreword:  I thought I had posted this last night prior to posting the advertisement for a replacement, but apparently I had hit "Preview" instead of "Post."  My apologies for this post appearing out of order.

Ryan Geckler, Division Training Director, has announced his retirement from the Training Director role, effective July 1, 2016, due to work and personal commitments.

We will sorely miss Ryan's extensive knowledge of ATC training.  Doing it for a living for the FAA, he was uniquely qualified to serve in this role on behalf of the Division.  He was truly concerned with the effective training of all controllers through ensuring a cadre of effective instructors and mentors.  His leadership skills in the role were very effective, using excellent judgment, care and concern.  I will personally miss having Ryan on our team; we have all benefitted from his leadership. 

I also appreciate Ryan's care and concern for an effective transition, planning adequate time to advertise, interview and select the best candidate, followed by an orderly transition and support period.

Please join me in thanking Ryan for his service to our Division and wishing him all the best of luck and success moving forward.  Hopefully this will allow Ryan a little more time to get on the scopes and behind the yoke!

Ryan,

Can't thank you enough for all of your hard work and dedication to not only VATUSA but VATSIM as a whole. Your contributions to the division as well as Cross the Pond planning and more will always be appreciated. You have done fantastic things while serving as USA3 and I look forward to continuing to work with you in future, whether it be on the scopes or in the air.

All my best,
