Please join me in thanking Ryan Parry for his service as VATUSA's inaugural Western Region Manager. He has decided to step down from the role and return to ZOA.
Ryan was instrumental in revitalizing the Pacific Partnership, an oceanic agreement between VATPAC, VATNZ, and VATUSA that allows eligible members to control airspace between Auckland and Anchorage. I appreciate Ryan for stepping up into a newly created position.
Brandon Barrett will be covering Western for the time being.
