wow...... all i have to say is wow...
I have seen more bull in the past two years then i have ever seen in my life
If you're equating "bull" to legitimate policy discussion, you're wrong. Policy can be discussed, staff members can reply, and people can still be unhappy. That doesn't make it "bull."
First off in late 08' I ran into some issues I sent emails from vatusa1- BOG and guess what the basic response i got was....( as i infer it) Sry, not our problem we don't care what our artccs do...
I have seen what like 3 VATUSA directors resign already...
1. Why is this Happening @ VATUSA and is not EVIDENT ANYWHERE ELSE?
You need to go through the proper channels to get your issues resolved. Most of the time that does not involve going straight to VATUSA1 nor the BoG. It's unlikely that the above was the response. They probably just said the same thing I did.
Since when is resignation such a horrible thing? Do you want us to pay these people? People get worn down, and that's when a resignation happens. Someone else comes in, and the cycle continues. Other divisions probably don't have as many resignations because the people in them aren't as easily worn down. Not to say that the jobs are any more or less difficult, but it's just a basic part of bureaucracy.
2. Why is it so hard to get answers?
It's not. You have three senior staff members available to talk to, either via e-mail or in Teamspeak or something like it. There's the VATUSA Forums, the VATSIM Forums, the VATUSA help desk, and many VATUSA staff members if none of the aforementioned channels resolve your issue.
3. Why do newly transfered students that are certified on the position have to wait so long just to get a "checkout" on a position?
That's an ARTCC problem, and most of the time it has to do with short staffing. Again, we can't pay instructors and mentors, so you have to wait for whomever is available. That's how its been for almost a decade.
4. Ladies,Gentelemnt, Governors, Have you and I mean you EVER READ the FOUNDERS LETTER? Seems like the founders post it, yet the "man" ignores it
Elaborate, please? If you're referring to DK, I've seen nothing less than compliance by Dave with the Founders' vision as outlined in their letter, especially in the VATSIM Forums where many propsitions emerge that contradict it.
5. Can the staff please be consitent? I'm pretty sure theres a policy on how to make a policy to make a policy.
What??
6. It is impossible to get anything done because you ahve to get approval from person A who needs approval from person B who needs approval from the DD who needs approval from the RD etc.
That's in terms of VATUSA policy, not individual ARTCC policy. The main thing that really affects you as a student is ARTCC policy, which has a much quicker implementation process than one might think, as long as the ARTCC staff is competent and efficient.
All Staff: Stop the politics! I think IL is less messed-up then some of the staff in vatsim.. What is the goal of VATSIM Again? Or did the staff forget about that already?
No, I'm pretty sure Illinois has had more political conflict than the staff in VATSIM. There could be no VATSIM without politics, because many people have different view on how something like this could be run.
You were all S-1s and S-3s.... Don't forget who you were! This is not about who gets the most glory, or who gets the the position, this is about THE CONTROLLERS so STOP THE POLITICS Don't we all want more people online so we can get on the scopes? Well then stop the politics and fix the problem
What's the problem to which you keep referring?
RW Connection: I have a local football league and there are some coaches that are plan A****** as my dad says for football. This is about the kids, not politics
(This is about John Doe whos an OBS os ARTCC X who isn't getting training, this (VATSIM) is not about POLITICS
Having coaches who come across as rude is not politics -- that's their style of team management. If John Doe isn't getting training, then he has many avenues to pursue in getting that training.
