Something for laughs!

So as I was training three students today back-to-back-to-back, The 2nd student sujested that VATUSA pay their I1/I3 rated instructors....Hmmm..not a bad Idea, eh?

We came up with some wages:

I1: $7.25 per Hour
I3: $10.00 per hour.

Looking at my Stats, I have 485 Hours as an I1, and 108 hours as an I3.

The math?

7.25 x 485= $3516.25
10.00 x 108= $1080.00 ............................

Who should I send my Lawyer to for unpaid Employment? a Total of $4596.25 in unpaid dues to me, a Certified, qualified, and dedicated employee! (  )

How much would YOU make with the above wages?

lol....Just a thought! xD

An interesting proposal Dylan, I submit to you Section 7.1 of the VATSIM User Agreement.  Unfortunatly we will not be able to comply with your request for pay at this time.  Should the nature of the User Agreement permit us to honor your request at a future date, we recommend you continue to track your earnings and submit a request at that time.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and are thankful of your continued service.

Ahhhhh...maybe the students should be paying the hourly rate then. That would certainly cut down on the constant bombardments of  "Can you take me up on TWR right now??"  I1's and I3's could be considered as outside contractors and be 1099'ed by the student, thereby not burdening VATSIM.

One can only daydream about such things........

Sadly, 4 days late for April Fool's, but an excellent thought. Call it the "Self-Worth Quotient"
