Tony Koskinen 1200306 Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:11 AM Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:11 AM Hey there, I used to be pretty active on vatsim, but due to work I had to step away from it for quite a while. Just recently I decided to come back to it because some of my mates are controllers in the US on Vatsim. I used to be a controller in Germany, so my region is Europe (except UK) -> Germany, but due to my inactivity I no longer am. I'm trying to change my region now to US North America, but so far I can't find any help anywhere, so I thought I'd post here. People have been redirecting me to this page https://cert.vatsim.net/vatsimnet/regch.php but when I put in my info and hit the submit button, it just gives me errors: Region Change Sorry, we could not approve your request. You do not have 50 hours time at your current Rating. My Vatsim ID is 1200306. Could anyone please help me out? Thanks, Tony Koskinen Tony Koskinen S2 Controller | VTBS CPT Pilot | VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Fox Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:19 AM Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:19 AM Hello Tony, If I were you and you are receiving those errors, perhaps you should open a ticket at Membership, http://membership.vatsim.net/user/. I am sure they would be more than happy to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist you in your request. Good luck, sorry I could not be more helpful. Sean H.

Removed Posted June 13, 2014 at 11:06 AM Posted June 13, 2014 at 11:06 AM Not an error. Just what the message said: Sorry, we could not approve your request. You do not have 50 hours time at your current Rating. Before a region transfer request can be submitted, a member needs to consolidate their rating by controlling 50 hours with that rating within the division that issued it, as per Transfer and Visiting Controller Global Policy.

Tony Koskinen 1200306 Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:42 PM Author Posted June 13, 2014 at 01:42 PM Well that blows, because the last time I heard from my division I had to go through the whole training process again. I would like to start out as a new controller in the US, not get retrained again here just to complete the 50 hours. Is there anyway of achieving this? Am I allowed to delete my account and re-create another one? Tony Koskinen S2 Controller | VTBS CPT Pilot | VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Schoen Posted June 13, 2014 at 02:03 PM Posted June 13, 2014 at 02:03 PM No don't create a duplicate account (Ref: CoC A(8)) You might contact the regional directors of VATNA and VATEUR to see if they can waive it for you.
