I think ZTL is up there as well. Maybe not "visited" as much as JFK or LAX, but ATL is certainly in the mix. We get a fair amount of overflights too (majority being aircraft heading north or south). Not to mention, we get a decent amount of traffic in/out of our 10 "minor" TRACONs, mostly CLT.

It was a minor for a pretty long time. When a new senior staff came in, we all decided it'd be best to have MCO as a major. We applied, and a few weeks later we were prematurely informed by David J. that the request for MCO as a major was approved. We then proceeded to change all of our procedures reflecting MCO as a major.

Snippets from two different emails from David J. recently:

"...but we’re going to have to go back to treating KMCO as a minor airfield until it gets on the GRP list, and that will not be overnight..."

"You all will need to cease any treatment of a facility as “Major” unless it is listed on the GRP document referenced above (on the VATSIM site, not the VATUSA site).  This needs to be done as soon as possible.  I understand that you all likely have documentation that needs to be modified (if you find yourself in this predicament), and I know that can’t be modified overnight, so we will work to make sure this gets done ASAP."

So, we changed MCO back to a minor temporarily until it is approved (hopefully lol)

Just an update on the F11 situation to whom it may concern, it is no longer in effect and the airspace is back to normal as it was with MCO being controlled only by MCO_APP, JAX being controlled only by JAX_APP, and DAB being controlled only by DAB_APP.

As for the MCO major status, there was some miscommunication and misunderstanding. We've turned MCO back to a minor, have fixed the appropriate documentation, have changed training accordingly, and are patiently awaiting the final decision/approval from the EC.
