General Discussion / Where's Management?
« on: December 31, 2010, 06:43:42 AM »
OK, some interesting responses.
Bryan and Scott, thanks for your honest answers, didn't think of that.
Rahul, thanks for seeing that my question(s) are genuine.
Tom, not sure what you're deal is, accusing me of anything is/was out of line. I was simply asking a question because even though I don't control (for a reason), I do frequent both this and the VATSIM forums, and try to keep a feel of the network. I just don't see some of the people that move up in the ranks around to "manage" their people, which makes no sense to me. I'll explain. VATSIM as I see it, is a network for people to come online and enjoy the hobby of either flying, or controlling, or both, online in a network where there is interaction with others, so if you are not going to fly, or control, what is the purpose of being here, kind of defeats the purpose.
Jeff, I have/had no specific need, I was just asking a question, that I perceived as valid, because I don't see the upper management as doing anything once they are upper management. Sure, I realize that there are alot of "behind the scenes" projects and such that takes their time, but again, what's the point of being here if you're not going to fly or control?
As far as me not controlling, I have no desire to control, I fly, because that's what I enjoy doing, I belong to a VA that I enjoy, very little politics there, unlike the controlling side. I do however enjoy the interaction with ATC, THAT is why I am here. My intention here was not to "get a rise", although it appears that it has.
Gary, your post is honest, I can appreciate that, and you must be doing everything at VATUSA yourself, you've been back awhile now, but still no USA2, 3, and some other positions, I can see why you're not "online" controlling or flying that much, but is that the way it should be? Almost like "if I want it done, I'll do it myself", but hey, you are the man, and can run USA as you see fit, just makes no sense to me, how can that be enjoyable?
So there, I've spoken for myself, thanks to those who saw my question as genuine, and to those that don't, I'm thinking you need a reality check in this virtual world.
Happy New Year to all!
