Lest an S1 or Pilot/OBS with no online time apply and be given the position, I have been asked to update the minimum requirements slightly. Please make sure you meet these new requirements (particularly the C1 and English requirements) prior to applying.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / Controlling the Arrivals

In the Case of LA. There are mountains that you have to navigate through and around to reach airports you start vectoring and the next thing you know, you vector someone into a mountain.
That's why things like MVAs exist...so controllers don't vector you into mountains. You should fly in the LA area real world sometime, and see how often you are left on the STAR.

I'm looking at the company called PacificRack. Don't know anything about them.
They have apparently merged with Quadranet, and Quadranet is very good, aside from traditionally being a bit on the pricey side.

Just because the raw numbers may not now give us an accurate picture doesn't mean that they can't. More information would be necessary though.
We're working on it.

General Discussion / C3 Rating
« on: December 01, 2011, 05:54:42 PM »
Kevin, yeah, unfortunately the numbers are staff-only access, on the CERT level. You have to take into consideration as well that I can't currently differentiate between how many of those members are actually controlling. Same may just be observing, some may have switched to flying, etc. So I can't say that 60% of controllers are still controlling. But 60% of the controllers are online doing something. What that something is, is anyone's guess.
So in all fairness I can't call your numbers completely incorrect. Perhaps 90% of the controllers left and are now flying, for all I know. There is really no way to currently tell, aside from looking every single member up on the stats and seeing what they've been up to. Not going to happen. Ha!

**EDITED, quote from my post above: "My real feeling, is that the C3 rating itself isn't going to really make people stay on and control more, but something needs to be done to incentify controllers to stay"
Why should we have to provide incentives? The incentive is that you are participating in a hobby that you enjoy. That's the "incentive" that comes with most hobbies. If you're no longer enjoying the hobby, no amount of incentive (outside of cash ) is going to get you to stick around.
