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.
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...

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.
