Thank you very much! I put in a transfer request to go to ZME, so Im just waiting for the application to join ZME to be approved. I just dont know how to contact a training staff member.

That information usually is the welcome email that you receive when your transfer is approved.

General Discussion / VATNA Policy 0505

I don't wish to "work" for an entity that refuses to fix their own policies so as to enable their subordinates to perform their duties.  Nor do I wish to work for an entity that refuses to hold accountable its people to the very rules that created this network.

In short, you have founders that are disinterested, an out of touch BoG, RD's that are out of control, DDs who can't go to the bathroom without permission, etc.  Not a network I wish to support by volunteering to perform any additional duties.  As far as contributing positively to the network.  I have contributed more than you will ever know.  Far less than some, far more than others...

JV

If you are so dissatisfied with the policies, the people and the organization and are not willing to do anything except to point fingers and bring distention among the rest of the people are doing their best for this hobby...I suggest that maybe you need to see that if this is the organization that you want to be a part of.

If you don't like it... nobody is holding you hostage here..

I'm just saying

General Discussion / What we need to be discussing

Hmmm, yup, just looked at the new GRP, sections 5, 6, & the Appendix.  Guess someone needs to tell these ARTCC's to change their policies.  

One of the biggest problems I could see is the average student not paying attention to the new policy changes and just going off what the ARTCC's are telling them.  Maybe we have been limiting these students in their quest to, and this is the most important part, PLAY as an air traffic controller.  We do have to remember that this is a hobby, not real life.  We do have to remember that if you have a "deal" on VATSIM, nothing is going to come out of it.  Did you know, and Bryan can back me up on this one, that even the FAA is going "lax" on deals.  Now, if you have a deal, all you have to do is file a report in a program we call ATSAP and you can pretty much so wash your hands of it.  It's not an excuse to have a deal, but the blame game has gone out the window and now leaning more towards safety research.  Why are we more difficult on VATSIM?

Now, I don't fully agree that we should make it quote-unquote easier for controllers to achieve ratings, but we do have to draw the line between necessary and ridiculous.

I agree, I love comming to VATSIM to relax after a hard day and enjoy myself.  I love that we aim to be "As real as it gets" but we also have to remember the above.  Sometimes we can train controllers in the basics of the position and then experience and perfection will come after years of doing it.  Even when I became a Center rated controller, I didn't know everything and my skill improve every single day that I control.  I feel that we need to find a balance between real and fun..if we make it so hard it won't be fun to the majority and they will stop doing their training and find another hobby.  My 0.02 anyways.

The quick and easy thing, would be to check the cable.  I know I have one that I have to wiggle to get to work.  If not, you might be able to get another enclouse and put the old HDD in the new one.
