Martin, I just want to echo everyone's comments above and thank you for a job very well done. It will be tough to find a VATEUD1 replacement as helpful and efficient as you, but your resignation is understandable.

I hope we see you in the skies above Europe from time to time!

Take care,

Daryl

Martin,

It is dissapointing to see yet another 'old war horse' feel the need to leave VATSIM, however I fully understand your decision based on the treatment you have recieved.

It is a disgrace that VATSIM appears to be more interested in getting as many new members as possible, without a care about why so many long established, highly experianced controllers leave.

I think it is fairly clear that the current VATSIM ethos is quantity over quality.

You can walk away with your head held high, mate. You have done yourself, division and region proud!

Martin I am very sad to see you go. You were truly a person that is virtually irreplaceable. Aside from that, Thank you very much for your time and dedication to the network. You won't be forgotten.

From all of us at CrovACC we wish you all the best outside of Vatsim and your future en devours.

Kind Regards,

I can only echo what has been said - when will people ask why experienced controllers are leaving or not logging on any more??

Martin,
from my side, I am very very sad that You have resigned since in our region of Europe we saw a hope for getting things to a right direction. I hope that this dissapointment will not discourage You to fly virtually either offline or online, whichever network it may be. I wish You all the best and thank You for all the help You have provided to our part of Europe and our "big" vACC.

With best regards,

Terrible news!
Martin, I understand and support you fully. You are a great professional, manager and friend. It is a great loss to the whole European community which I regret. Hope someone in charge wakes up to the call.

Dear Martin,

Sorry to see you go. Thank you for beeing so long with us and your patience. I realy hope to see you back. Please remember... VATSIM is not one man show (if you have disagreement with someone We are community and it makes us STRONG!
If you will be in Lithuania, just drop me a mail!

Very sad loss to the team in Europe, given the time you have spent looking after Europe's best interests.

I echo the sentiments of many of those who have already posted.

Don't be a stranger...

Dear Martin,
I am very sad to read about your resignation, and even more sad to read that you leave VATSIM.
Thank you for everything you have done for VATSIM, and for VATIL.
Hop to see you in VATSIM soon, took care my friend.

I do not fly very often these days, but:
I will miss your voice on air as I miss your posts in the forums.

Good luck, friend! (I hope, I'm allowed to say so )

The hope dies last - hope to here (from) you again!

Hi Martin,

as one of those many people brought by you to online flying and VATSIM, this is very bad news to me. I can fully understand that politics can lead to the situation that one does not like anymore to take leadership in any respect. But are things really that terrible that you see no other chance than to give up also the core of our hobby, online-controlling and -flying? Somehow I have the feeling that with this decision you punish more yourself than those you are angry about. Anyhow, I will keep hope that we can see you after a leave of absence again on Copenhagen Radar or as EWG482 in VATSIM land.

All the best

Peter
