If it helps at all everyone feels dirty after they're done with one of those "ads"

My biggest gripe is if we can d side we should be able to Train. I’m already “exposed” to the whole crew in the area. So when the position doesn’t need to be split the regular r side could easily be the trainer. If it’s too busy and we are down a man or something then I could go back to the d side.

I agree with you for the most part. Personally, my one gripe with your plan is that if traffic is slow enough they don't need a D-side, you should be on break so as to keep away from other people—even if you're in the same building it's better to be farther apart from people. But maybe your supes are being assholes about too many people being on break so that isn't an option, or maybe training can be done more safely if your trainer can plug into a scope two down from where you are.

But to play devil's advocate, this will cause all sorts of complaining from trainees and trainers: complaints about the judgement call to split or not, or whether the weather was better for his rotation instead of my rotation, or whatever. So in order to avoid having to deal with that, NATCA (and/or the FAA) would rather implement a uniform policy across the NAS and point to that when people ask about using common sense and taking initiative.

That’s a top 3 post in .65 history, if it was a t-shirt I would buy it.

Same!

Anyone good with the auto generate emails like we use to email politicians? Would be great to get one to Paul and Trish’s email from all the trainees lol. Blow them up, but respectfully.....

You need to sign the site up to receive BAT donations from the Brave Browser

They are 2152 natca members so if they are training we should be training.

There are several DoD facilities represented by NATCA as well. Are they training?

Prolly. The military certainly is.

Well their policy is horseshit lol. They are running a totally normal rotation. They aren’t like sending me to Siberia when it slows down.

I'm just hoping for no furloughs. That new Bronco will look good in the my driveway.

Being as I’m such a great person and all, here’s a brand new, bullshit thread that has absolutely no purpose.

Therefore, it cannot actually be derailed. And as such, should be safe from being locked.

Have at it. Your welcome.

I’ve been off of work for five days and this place has been kinda quiet, where did all the hot takes go?

We all kinda got a time out, it was awkward for a while, the chat pop up got "fixed", people are whining at trainees for being rightfully pissed off, trainees are whining at people for being rightfully pissed off, PushingTin had a crisis and underwent metamorphosis and is a born again Christian, MJ deleted a bunch of stuff and reminded us of the rules, and everyone just kinda got dispersed like after a rager I guess...

I knew I should have wasted my days off in a different way

If Microsoft comes out with an ATC sim, can we train at home?

I mean vatsim is going to be available from the start for the game if you want to jump through hoops to control with them

I’ve never had interest in being a pilot but flight sim looks sweet. Need a beast of a computer to run it on full blast though.

You need a bunch of peripherals if you want an immersive experience
