It is with great pleasure that I announce Nickolas Christopher's appointment to the position of Air Traffic Manager at ZLA. Nickolas has been with ZLA since September of 2015 he holds and I1 rating, and has served as the Events Coordinator at ZLA since November of 2016. Please join me in welcoming him to the big chair we know he'll do great.
With Nickolas's appointment brings me to the departure of Ethan Berntein who has served as ATM since April of 2015. Ethan served the position well and brought many great things to ZLA making it one of our great ARTCCs. Ethan is moving on to start his real world flying career in the E175 which has left him a little short on VATSIM time. On behalf of VATUSA I thank him for his dedicated service and time to ZLA, and we wish him the best of luck in his new career.
