Hello all...

Hope all is well. At United Virtual, we are looking at having an Event 1/31/15, and will be asking other VA's if they would like to join. How do I go about asking for controllers for our Event? Not wanting to wait till the last min...

 

Thanks..

At the bottom of the VATUSA website, you'll find links to the individual ARTCC websites. From there, I would look to see if they had (in descending order of preference) one of: an ATC request form, an e-mail address for the Events Coordinator ("EC"), a generic "Contact Us" form, open forums.

 

After you've established the details of the event, I don't see any reason why you couldn't advertise it to attract even more pilots as well. For example, you could post it on VATTASTIC, the Fly-In Notices forum here on the VATSIM board, the Events forum on the VATUSA board, etc.

 

EDIT: For an example of a form specifically tailored for ATC coverage requests, you'll note on vZTL's homepage under the 'Contact Us' menu bar item a link to Request Controller Staffing.

Thanks for the info. Will be doing it now. Yes, have set date and all, and will put the word out further. It's being called 'United Virtual and Friends DC Fly-in' So the more that join, the merrier!
