Hi Guys

I want to post my event on the calender, as instructed by Chris Renne. However i do not hold a VATUSA p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word, so i can not post on the calender. it appears the only way to do it is to change my region to North America, although you appear to be very good it is not a good idea to do this. Any help?

Thanks, if you wan't to know about the event or book a slot email me at [email protected]

I'm sorry, but I must speak my mind; Jeremy, this is easily the third seperate topic on the event, yet you never seem to reply to anyones responses in your other threads; and they are valid questions.

 

In this one, I asked how many pilots were guaranteed so far. The Gander/Shanwick Radio coverage is another issue, but is not at the top of my list. Perhaps if you went back to your topics instead of seemingly forgetting about them, and answering some of the question, you'd get more interest sparked.

Hi Guys

I did send you an email and spoke to VATCAN with the numbers , sorry for any trouble. They said Moncton will hopefully be staffed and one person on oceanic. I also PM'd you because i remember you saying your email adresses were a bit messed up at the moment.

Jeremy, I'm the guy you spoke to, at Moncton, not saying Moncton would be on. Nor had I said anyone would be on Oceanic.

For the last time....

 

This event is not going to happen. I have emailed you many times without a reply. You can't expect an event like this without doing the legwork.

 

There will be a Cross the Pond before April so you can fly then with a lot of people.

 

Lets let VATSIM-UK finish reworking their Shanwick procedures....

Thanks

[email protected] gets me email just fine....

 

And since you haven't responded to my emails I will reply here.

 

Jeremy let me save you some headache.

 

This event is dead. Caput. Finished. You can't expect every region to provide everything without any idea of traffic volume, times etc.

You can plan something in the future, or become the event person for an airport you control at ( I see you are a student )

But you will need to wait for the next "cross the pond."

 

VATSIM-UK, VATCAN and VATUSA can't do the legwork for you.

Ok Richard, i did email you numbers on the 18th, thanks for being nice, is there anyway we get JFk because i have 30 slots leaving the UK from 1000z, or shall i tell them it's off and inform them off future Atlantic events? Then i also feel guilty because EGKK has organised a mentoring day around this. I hope you accept my apology for the break down in comunication, i have emailed you tonight. Have you recieved?

Thanks

I can't tell people to staff, nor can I make them not staff.

It is up to each ARTCC/FIR as to staff or not.

It is as I understand it however not looking good since USA and UK aren't recognizing this event I doubt you will see much ( other than the usual ) ATC.

 

Again, I am sorry but when you try to plan an event, you need to have a bit more homework done before hand.

It takes months to plan an event of this size and coordinate with the required people.

You tried to do this on your own inside of 5 weeks with no coordination betwwen people, other than your emails ( which I still have never gotten ).

 

Events of this scale are usually handled at the Divisional level and unless sponsored by a major VA ( BAW, etc ) are usually not approved. To ask people to staff without any prospects of pilot numbers is inconsiderate.

Ok well once again thanks for all your help, i wonder why i can't email you? when do you need to know whether i have told pilots not to fly or not. Although this event has been a bit of a failure because i jumped in the deep end of the atlantic lol, I feel i have learnt a years worth of information and skills within amonth. Thnaks to all you guys and if any of you would like to take me under your wing, email me at [email protected]. If it works!!!!

Thanks have a good year

AOL has gone over the top with their "spam" blocking - to the point that certain key words will prevent an email from ever going through, whether into or out of an AOL account. Frankly, I'm not surprised your emails aren't going through after some recent blocks we saw put on with my company.

 

I'd recommend for any "important" emails that you need to have sent, you use a free email account or choose an ISP that cares more about customer service.

VATSIM-UK have withdrawn support for this event.

 

The reasons are many and do not need elaboration on here. All VATSIM staff concerned and the organiser have been emailed with my reasons.

 

I apologise for any disappointment engendered.

Yeah, any AOL users, get rid of it now! It's useless, nobody can email you (although, you will think you are receiving email just fine). You just never know what email isn't getting though. I have a new staff member who uses an AOL account. I can't even forward email to it, I can't contact him from certain email addresses, it's a mess!

 

AOL is working real hard at going out of business fast!

Thank you,

Dear Pilots

I regret to inform you that Atlantic Overload has now been cancelled, the event was meant to take place from 0900z on the 28th January 2006.

I have now seen first hand how much work goes into such an event and blindly ran it thinking I could attain success. It's only as time has progressed I that have realised how difficult such a thing was to achieve as an individual.

I therefore fully understand and support the action taken by VATSIM-UK and apologise to those pilots who may have had high hopes for the event. I will now be looking at ways to learn more about events and then try again at a later date armed with more information and have the backing of a VA or a VATSIM division behind me. Just to let you know, traffic is needed at EGKK from 1000z as there mentoring session was organised around the event. I would also like to make friends as it were with the some of the people I have had heated discussion with over the past month.

Thanks

Or at least you could send comments to that address if AOL hasn't decided to arbitrarily black list words you are attempting to use in your email.
