Dan Pletzke 918453 Posted November 25, 2007 at 03:42 PM Posted November 25, 2007 at 03:42 PM Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. Im pursuing a career in law enforcement in the real world. Im 18 years old and currently live in Michigan. I resently joined vatsim in pursuit of an online ATC career here. My dad's been doing this for quite a while now as a pilot for vatsim and ive watched him many times and just took interest in it myself. I look forward to meeting and working with some of you, and hopefully will start controlling here soon. Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Wayne 960331 Posted November 25, 2007 at 04:47 PM Posted November 25, 2007 at 04:47 PM Well welcome to the network! If your pursuing ATC and you live in Michigan, the best bet would be ZOB ARTCC (Cleveland ARTCC) covers a mojority of Michigan, Ohio, and Eastern side of Pennsylvania. Either way I hope you like it here! Thanks, Julian "JW" Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Lopez 883899 Posted November 25, 2007 at 07:38 PM Posted November 25, 2007 at 07:38 PM All opinions I'd say... If you live in Michigan ZAB would be best because it's south of you...
