Greg Hartmaier 1000794 Posted January 29, 2007 at 05:15 PM Posted January 29, 2007 at 05:15 PM Hi there: I recently sent in an application to BAV (British Airways Virtual), however during the application process they required a Vatsim ID, which I already obtain, but when I went to enter the code into the given box there was not enough space to enter the code. The box had only enough room to enter a 6 digit code not the subsequent 7 digit Vatsim ID in which they requested. The best thing I could think of was give them my 6 digit p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word since that was the only other piece of info i had from Vatsim. Any body have an answer to this??

Norman Blackburn Posted January 29, 2007 at 05:18 PM Posted January 29, 2007 at 05:18 PM Greg, Firstly welcome to VATSIM. You should never ever give your VATSIM p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word to anybody, not even a member of VATSIM staff. It seems that the BAV website doesnt know of the 7 digit numbers - somebody from their web team will need to fix that. In the meantime please visit www.vatsim.net/mememail.php and explain the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word compromise. Somebody will have your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reset for you.

Greg Hartmaier 1000794 Posted January 30, 2007 at 01:07 AM Author Posted January 30, 2007 at 01:07 AM I have received a letter from BAV (British Airways Virtual), regarding the inconsistency of characters in the BAV pilot application I encountered earlier this week. According to BAV, Vatsim has stopped creating 6 character Vatsim ID's and started giving out 7 character Vatsim ID's. SO FOR ANYONE APPLYING TO BAV, it looks like you have to wait until they update the site to accommodate the new 7 character ID's. Hope this helps prevent any frustrations.
