General Discussion / Where's Management?
« on: January 13, 2011, 04:40:22 PM »Quote from: Anthony Baker
Maybe a better training scheduling system would help too.
VATSIM UK has an excellent training website which allows students to post their availablity on various dates and times, the mentor then logs in and sees the request and can pick from the availability before picking up the session.
I don't know how much you can see without being a member, but maybe something like this would be helpful - I'm not intimate with the way USA plans mentoring sessions.

General Discussion / VATSIM is only as good as the number of Controllers
« on: November 11, 2010, 01:32:29 PM »
A system that is currently being designed and built could but not necessarily will accomodate this - at least in the early stages. Kyle Ramsey has provided more information in the following thread and I suggest any interested parties have a read through the comments made here: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=6...813&start=0
You're also welcome to send in suggestions to me (I'm the project manager, hello!) for review at: callum.mcloughlin@vatsim-uk.co.uk
Sincerely
A "listening" management team.

General Discussion / VATSIM VA Partner Audit Manager Position Opening
« on: March 29, 2010, 05:01:00 PM »Quote from: Bo Gercke
Good grief, Charlie Brown. ANOTHER bureaucratic position created for the network to gag on. Well done folks. Looking at that list of "requirements" you're almost groveling for some butt-kissing 40 year old who lives in his mom's basement to step in and fill the role to acquire some make believe, feel-good, self-important title.
Hello Bo
Thanks for sharing your concerns. I have been reviewing new VA Partership requests and attempting to audit VAs on the side for roughly six months but don't have enough time in my week to do everything that's needed. I was approached by my "boss", VATGOV9, and asked if I thought it would be a good idea to get some extra help.
As representatives of VATSIM, do you not feel it is important that we conduct ourselves in a responsible and mature way? This is why there is a requirement for people to do so.
Those who wish to donate their time to VATSIM should be applauded for their committment to their hobby - we are not looking for people who simply wish to grow their ego.
I hope this clears up some of your concerns.

General Discussion / VATSIM VA Partner Audit Manager Position Opening

Dear all
(I thought it best to post this here as well just to make sure everybody interested sees this - I saw a comment in another thread on here regarding volunteers appearing from nowhere, and no job notices being posted. )
One of the main goals of VATSIM is to create an environment which is fun and, at the same time, an educational and realistic simulation of procedures followed by pilots and air traffic controllers everyday around the world. We recognize the contributions of virtual airlines as significant and integral parts of the flight simulation community which allows many online pilots to experience the unique characteristics of the airline industry combined with authentic live air traffic control.
We are in partnership with over 350 virtual airlines which can be found on our linksmanager website, the partnerships firstly promote VATSIM through encouraging VA pilots to choose to fly on our network, and secondly, allows VATSIM members to find a list of virtual airlines which are of a high standard.
VATSIM has a number of requirements which virtual airlines must meet, and continue to meet to continue as a partner. Every three months we audit virtual airlines to ensure these minimum requirements continue to be met. (The requirements can be found here: http://linksmanager.com/vatsimvas/add_link.html)
The VA/SOA Department is seeking two Audit Managers who will report to the Director of VA Relations to carry out the audits of our virtual airline partners. The role requires a minimum of two hours of volunteering per week and you will be given training on how to use the administration console.
The successful applicants will have the following qualities:
All applications will be carefully considered.
If you wish to apply, please send an email to vapartners[-at-]vatsim.net - please include your CERT ID, previous experience, current or past held jobs on VATSIM, and your motivations for applying. You may be asked to attend an interview either using Team Speak or Skype.
The closing date is 28th March at 2359.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Callum McLoughlin
VATSIM Director of VA Relations
