Lance Williams Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:19 AM Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:19 AM Thanks to your fearless leader's power trips, TGIF has been cancelled for the first time in over 2 years! Jeff Turner has gone overboard and needs to go! VCA can't stand by this power tripped individual any longer and cancels next weeks TGIF in protest of his "Presidency." TGIF will return when Jeff either comes back to reality or someone replaces him. VCA apologizes for this inconvenience, but it's time to just say no to Jeff Turner! Thank you, Lance W.

Lance Williams Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:34 AM Author Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:34 AM Just wondering how one goes about "cancelling" TGIF? Will pilots not be allowed to fly the "published" TGIF route or restricted in any fashion? Just curious. Good question. This has never happened before. We obviously can't stop you from flying but request you don't fly the published TGIF destination. VCA pilots will not be flying in protest of the curent dictatorship! Thank you, Lance W.

Will pilots not be allowed to fly the "published" TGIF route or restricted in any fashion? Just curious. TGIF is a VCA created and sponsored event conducted on the VATSIM network. By cancelling the event, we are simply saying it won't be held in its usual form, VCA pilots will be asked not to fly that evening, our partner airlines will be asked to withold their participation.

Lance Williams Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:39 AM Author Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:39 AM Do I have reasons? Yep sure do. He continues to come after me personally even though my VA brings him the most event traffic VATSIM as seen! There's much more than that, but what more can you say about your fearless leader who beats down on the one thing keeping him alive! I'd say he's picking at a scab and that scab deserves to be here more than he does! Thank you, Lance W.

Andrew Musselman Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:53 AM Posted April 1, 2006 at 07:53 AM If this is a Joke it's not funny. TGIF is first of all more than just one VA. So if trying to punish a certain someone, this is not the way to do it. This effects more than 150 people. People look foward to doing this all week. I'm very disappointed at this decision, and think that they should think about what they are doing. Lets just say I know where I'm flying next Friday....

Andrew, I hate to burst your bubble, but TGIF is VCA! It was started by VCA and continues to be VCA's event! We eventually invited other VA's into what has become VATSIM's premere event, but that's something current VATUSA management with a grudge is willing to lose I take it. Too bad really as we will continue our events, but we will explore other options besides VATSIM if they continue to support people like Jeff Turner. Thank you, Lance W.

Kiel McGowan 813486 Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:25 AM Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:25 AM TGIF is VCA! It was started by VCA and continues to be VCA's event! We eventually invited other VA's into what has become VATSIM's premere event, but that's something current VATUSA management with a grudge is willing to lose I take it. I agree VCA did start it, but what I think Andrew was getting at is that cancelling TGIF affects more than VCA, it affects the ARTCC (or 2/3) that has most likely prepared for the last month or two for the event, along with all the pilots planning to fly. If VATUSA has led to the cancellation of this event, it is the worst thing they could do. If politics is what they want to play, then maybe they need to learn a thing or two....you dont slap around the biggest contributor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Williams Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:27 AM Author Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:27 AM (edited) Couldn't agree more Kiel, but that's VATUSA for ya! They have lost there biggest event!

If this is the end of TGIF I am really going to miss it. This is something I know as a controller enjoyed doing and most deffinetly as a pilot. TGIF's like this weekends are outstanding, thanks Lance for taking the time to put them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Williams Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:30 AM Author Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:30 AM Let me say, TGIF will continue, somewhere somehow.

Matthew Kramer Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:41 AM Posted April 1, 2006 at 08:41 AM So, is this a boycott or did someone actually put a 'stop' to the event? If option A), what actions prompted the boycott? -Matt ZLA DATM, I1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the actions promoting this, you would have to ask Jeff Turner. He seems to have something agains me and VATUSA even though he runs it, he seems to want to hurt it.! Go figure!
