Hello,

 

I just went on CTP to book a slot, and there doesn't seem to be any left already, and bookings for EGCC have been opened for just over 2 and a half hours? is this correct?

Bookings were gone within ~2 minutes for each airport

Some typically get dropped within the last 24 hours before the event. Or with a heavy dose of patience, you can fly in the event without a reserved slot.

Cheers,

I still plan on flying in it without a booking from VIE to either SFO or MIA. Controllers will squeeze you in like they always do. Not a big deal.

Because even if the servers support it, the airspace probably doesn't

The bottleneck isn't the airports as much as it is Oceanic. There are not enough Oceanic controllers to increase capacity (some would say there are never enough Oceanic controllers, period! ).

Somehow every year we manage to stay in one piece... maybe it's the duct tape holding us together? cries in oceanic

 

Seriously though, there's been a perpetual need for more controllers for as far back as I can remember.

How many RW furloughed friends can we find and train up quickly to work Oceanic?

 

Not meant to be a joke, though I really try to always have a good sense of humor. I feel horrible that our friends globally are being negatively impacted.

 

But I wonder if there is any opportunity here.... Would likely take some personal outreach from "friends and family"....

I think that you do have a point. You may want to reach out to those real pilots or people who know a bunch of them. The gentleman with the 757-simulator comes to my mind, for starters.

Something has come up and I am unable to depart CYYC to LSZH at 14h07z it would only be about 2 hours later.

I logged on to the dashboard and there is no button or anything to release my slot.

It would be a shame to let my slot go unused.

Can someone release my slot so someone else can take it?

Slots have been locked during the night when routes have been finalised so we can send the pilots the emails and facilities a list of people (CIDs) with their slots and departure times. Things cant move after that, Im afraid as all of those have already been distributed.
