Josh Hjemvick 811983 Posted June 28, 2006 at 05:12 AM Posted June 28, 2006 at 05:12 AM Okay. . . so I've realized that if an ARTCC reserves a date / time for an event, and a bigger fish comes along and wants that date, that it doesnt matter if it is already reserved. Is this policy going to continue? If so, what incentive do small ARTCCs who NEED the traffic have to even bother holding an event if the possibility of it getting pushed aside for a bigger ARTCC, who has a legacy event comes along? I'd hate for ZLA to snag a date from a smaller facility after it had been reserved. I know our leadership wouldn't do such, thank you gents. I'm a little sad to see other facilities using these tactics. CMEL.CSEL.IA.AGI.CFI.CFII.MEI.CRJ2.FO.Furloughed Part of the Acey 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt its a "tactic", but merely an oversight. I suspected that, but for some reason I just don't buy it. Who knows, perhaps conventional wisdom will grace a couple people. I doubt it though, it'll grace a couple people, but not the right ones.

When 2 ARTCCs hold events, don't you USUALLY see airplanes flying back and forth between the two? Unless they're clean on the other side of the US from each other, I think this kind of situation promotes traffic more for both locations. And I usually go to the little guy...

Ethan Klapper 884347 Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:58 PM Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:58 PM Josh-- It's not a tactic. What happened was a total mistake, and it was a remote incident. We are formulating SOPs to prevent such an incident from happening again. EK Ethan Klapper VATUSA13 VATUSA Deputy Events Director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
