WestCoastATC report
I’m not sure of the exact time frame for the report above, but it
indicates that we have 20 pilots flying on WestCoastATC. In our profile it says we have flown 292
hours and 2 minutes in May.
I may have extracted this information a little early (at 18:33 Z on
May 31st) but I wanted to grab it before it disappeared. I know that I have another 3 hours and 23
minutes for today.
Looking at the chart above, I see than none of our pilots have
flown in an ATC session in May. Well,
as for me I never have. But I can see
this is an area that we can improve.
WestCoastATC has been a gracious host, the least we can do is show up
for an atc session once in a while so their controllers have something to do.
There are some new things coming soon on WestCoastATC, including
the ability of other pilots to see your aircraft in its Bluegrass Colors, as
well as our ability to see other pilots in their correct liveries.
One thing that I haven’t been able to resolve is the fact that it
is difficult to schedule multi-player flights and get more than a few pilots to
show up. We have pilots scattered from
-0800Z to +1000Z and an 18 hour time difference doesn’t help things.
We almost need a schedule that would have 2 different times for those
from
Several flights have been posted in our forum and no one showed up
to join in the flights. We had two
Memorial Day flyovers and only two pilots showed up for them. Now its your turn. Go to the forum and suggest a flight and time
and perhaps other pilots will find a way to fit it in their schedule.
Welcome to New Pilots

We are glad to
have you with us, and look forward to reading your flight reports.
Congratulations to pilots with promotions

From the C.E.O.
I’m not sure
how many visits we had in May. We
switched hosts during the month so the statistics are not complete.
Don’t forget to
check out the forum and screen shot pages.
The summertime
is usually the slow time for a Virtual Airline.
There are other things to take up your spare time. So if the flight reports slow down a bit, we
will understand. Enjoy the good weather
days and have fun with your family.
That’s all for
now,
Bill Von Sennet
