It is my pleasure to announce the next ZDC ATM, Justin McElvaney! Justin has served on the network as a long-time training staff member, ZHU TA, ZHU ATM, and most recently the ZDC TA. In addition to his staff roles on the network, Justin has plenty of real-world aviation experience as both an air traffic controller and airline captain at multiple facilities and airlines. Justin is eager to work alongside his excellent staff team to further enhance the strengths ZDC currently has, and continue developing new resources for pilots and controllers to use while enjoying all that the Washington ARTCC has to offer. Congratulations Justin! We are all excited to see what you and your staff accomplish.
A huge thank you goes out to the outgoing ZDC ATM, John Bartlett. John is no stranger to staff roles as he has helped lead multiple ARTCCs all across VATUSA over the years. John is stepping back from the role to focus on his other life commitments, but will not be a stranger around ZDC. If you see John around, make sure to tell him thanks for his years of dedication and enthusiasm for our organization.
