The Control Room Floor / Re: Entering airspace of En-route controllers
« on: April 29, 2018, 09:09:45 PM »If you know that there is a controller on you should go ahead and check in with that controller. When you check in just give the nearest VOR to your current location so the controllers can find you easier.

News / ZAB has a new Events Coordinator!
« on: February 25, 2018, 06:22:43 PM »
After much deliberation and two applicants who would both make great additions to the events coordinator role, ZAB has selected Jeremy Werderman as our new events coordinator. This wasn't an easy decision as both applicants had great ideas and vision for the role. Jeremy has some great ideas for the direction of the events department and I can't wait to see what is in store for the future.
Thank you Chris for your service and for our past events!

General Discussion / Prospective/New controllers, please read
« on: December 16, 2017, 11:09:46 PM »
Good day folks,
I just want to throw out a quick reminder to those of you who are either thinking about or have just joined your first division/facility to start your virtual controlling career.
As you all should already know, VATSIM and VATUSA is ran completely by volunteers, from the VATSIM founders, president, and continuing down the organizational structure. With this said I would expect everyone to understand that when requesting services, whether it be a support ticket, transfer to a new division/facility, etc. that you should expect at least a short delay, possibly ranging from 1 day to hopefully at the latest 3 days before you receive a response to your request.
Some of these services can be time consuming and tedious. When you are part of a network where people not only run the community here at VATSIM/VATUSA but also run their real life jobs/households it should be a given that there will almost always be a waiting period for a response to your particular request. Especially at this time of year, when families will always take priority over hobbies (I hope at least).
Please be respectful of your fellow pilots/controllers and management when you make your requests, put in for a transfer, ask for training, etc. Your fellows will thank you and the community will be a better one.
Patience is a virtue!
Happy holidays all.
Robert

General Discussion / Re: Suggestion to ARTCC staff regarding event planning...
« on: December 15, 2017, 11:07:04 PM »
I like your suggestion. I will point out, at least from my experience, that for some facilities staffing the event during it's actual scheduled time usually takes all available controllers and then some, so it's usually an issue of available controllers. Most facilities probably don't have extra controllers for 2 different timetables. I hope that helped. I'm working nights so I may be explaining that while I am half asleep and it might make sense lol
