VATEUD1 resignation

Dear VATEUD members,

 

 

I am hereby resigning from my VATEUD1 position. I will also step back from my duties as a VATSIM supervisor, and end my VATSIM ATC career. I do not intend to spend any time on the network for the foreseeable future. There are fundamental differences between me and other VATSIM staff members about the direction VATSIM should take into a prosperous future, and I do not see any chance for my ideas to fall on fruitful ground here.

 

Dear VATEUD members, it has been a great pleasure and an honor for me to be at your service during these past years. I wish you all the best of luck for your future endeavours.

 

Blue skies!

best regards,

 

Martin Georg

Best wishes Martin. Differences in opinion and direction will always occur. I trust and hope that they are not so bad that you will in time find yourself back on the network.

It was fantastic to work with you Martin while I was Director of VATeir, you did great work for our European division and you were a great help to VATeir when it was requested.

 

Best of luck to whatever you get up to in the future!

It is a shame that resignations occur because people's ideas arent being listened to. It is a shame... Best of luck to you Martin.

Hallo Martin,

 

you leave me puzzled and I am sorry to see you resign from your position as VATEUD 1. You are surely one of those few very polarizing personalities here in our hobby. You are able to express your opinion very well and sometimes this came back to you. Maybe the last few weeks in VACC-SAG were not the best ones and I do regret that the communication between me and you did not work better in the last months. Errors are made every single day, but if you resign, it must be something really big. As you wrote in your resignation note, it is something fundamental. And maybe your "dose" of VATSIM has been too high, after all these years? I see the drive, emotion, money and time that you personally have invested into this great hobby as something positive, and although sometimes you stepped on some feet (and that hurt!), I don't want blame you for it.

 

Anyways, I hope you can get some distance between you and VATSIM, so we can welcome you back soon, even if it is as "pilot-only". The VATSIM-virus cannot be stopped!

 

In conclusion I would to emphasize that we had our different points of views and a looooong radio-silence, but I do regret seeing you leave the network, somehow VATSIM/VACC-SAG won't be the same without Martin Georg aka. "The Voice"!

 

Relax! See you soon.

So long good fellow. Sorry to hear you are leaving. Through all those years I've learned, that it would be a waste of time to go into discussion with you about your descision. Always blue skies buddy.

 

N.B. If you feel the desire to organize another VATSIM convention just drop me a call.

Martin it is with sadness that I received this resignation.

 

You are perhaps the most enthusiastic staff member that I have ever cooperated with while being in SATCO & VATSIM.

 

Your contribution has been invaluable even though we had our disagreements.

 

All I can say for now is that I am honestly very sorry to see you go. The rest of the talks will continue between us and the vateud staff.

 

Regards and THANK YOU for everything.

Martin, I just want to echo everyone's comments above and thank you for a job very well done. It will be tough to find a VATEUD1 replacement as helpful and efficient as you, but your resignation is understandable.

 

I hope we see you in the skies above Europe from time to time!

 

Take care,

Martin,

 

It is dissapointing to see yet another 'old war horse' feel the need to leave VATSIM, however I fully understand your decision based on the treatment you have recieved.

 

It is a disgrace that VATSIM appears to be more interested in getting as many new members as possible, without a care about why so many long established, highly experianced controllers leave.

 

I think it is fairly clear that the current VATSIM ethos is quantity over quality.

 

You can walk away with your head held high, mate. You have done yourself, division and region proud!

I can only echo what has been said - when will people ask why experienced controllers are leaving or not logging on any more??

Martin,

from my side, I am very very sad that You have resigned since in our region of Europe we saw a hope for getting things to a right direction. I hope that this dissapointment will not discourage You to fly virtually either offline or online, whichever network it may be. I wish You all the best and thank You for all the help You have provided to our part of Europe and our "big" vACC.

 

With best regards,

Very sad loss to the team in Europe, given the time you have spent looking after Europe's best interests.

 

I echo the sentiments of many of those who have already posted.

I am very sad to read about your resignation, and even more sad to read that you leave VATSIM.

Thank you for everything you have done for VATSIM, and for VATIL.

Hop to see you in VATSIM soon, took care my friend.

I do not fly very often these days, but:

I will miss your voice on air as I miss your posts in the forums.

 

Good luck, friend! (I hope, I'm allowed to say so )

 

The hope dies last - hope to here (from) you again!
