Event timing issues. . .

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.

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.

And whats to keep the pilots from participating in both. 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...

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.

Small fish such as ZME need more traffic . Perhaps we should stage an event...

[Mod: Post removed....you made your point Mr. Hjemvick...quit trying to beat everyone over the head with it. In relation to the attempted post immediately below this one, if you two are going to mix it up, you are going to do it privately, not here. -GSM 800006]

Just let him have his say, you know he will keep posting it in an ever increasing array of words until you let one slip by.

No...don't get me involved in this. I edited BOTH OF YOUR posts. You shouldn't have gone back in after the fact and edit yours Rich to make it look like I was just picking on Mr. Hjemvick.

 

This is a word to the wise for both of you. Drop it now.
