Vacancy Announcement - Gander Oceanic

[Greg McCormick 964079]

The Moncton/Gander Flight Information Region (FIR) is VATSIM’s “Gateway to Canada's East Coast.” An active FIR, featuring one of VATSIM's longest running weekly events, Moncton Mondays, the Moncton/Gander FIR offers a wide variety of airports and challenging weather conditions. A recent restructuring within VATCAN has seen the FIR expand to take over the Gander Oceanic airspace, making the FIR one of the few within VATSIM that can lay claim to having access to all ATC positions within the same region. Our website, www.czqm.ca, can provide you with an in-depth overview of our FIR.
