Nice. Where can I get a slot?

[Jamir Galindrez]

My guess is that slots won't be open until tonight around 10pm EST

[Jamir Galindrez]

Guessing they will not be happening today, also this event should get it's own discord or something

[Pete Wise]

So the post says that there will be slots available as of yesterday, but where is the listing?

[Shane O'Neill]

I apologize for the delay and failure to meet our previously announced slot opening day.

The web team has a lot of projects at hand and they are working on publishing the slot database and registration to the site.

All slot times are in UTC/Zulu time

Hi! Looking forward to the event. Are the departure times off-block/pushback times or are they true departure times/slot times?

I have 19:41 from IAH. So the question is: should I plan to push at 19:41 or plan to be taking off at 19:41 (which would mean an off-block time of around 19:21)?

Thanks in advance! Just don't want to mess up the flow. Cheers!

Pretty sure I saw a discussion on the VATUSA Discord which concluded that the times on the site are wheels-up times.

Thanks! I'll do a search over there and post something if I can't find after searching. Thanks!!
