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

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

If you live in Southwest Michigan ZAU, Chicago would be best. See ya online!

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

All opinions I'd say... If you live in Michigan ZAB would be best because it's south of you...

The thoughts and/or words or any general things that are expressed above are not a direct reflection of the views of the actual poster myself, Rey Lopez, and should be disregarded and left unread.

Thanks guys for the help, i live over in the greater detroit area, so most likely will be setting up shop at ZOB. Its more my area so ill be more familiar with the surroundings this way.

 

Thanks though for some input. Glad to see some activity to these type of threads.

Welcome aboard and you will enjoy ZOB for sure. I was controlling there for a bit and loved every minute of it. The training staff is top notch and all the controllers are great folks. Have fun and I'll fly into DTW for ya.

You are not limited to your real life area, of course. I live in California, and control in Central Africa, haha.
