WestCoastATC time for July 2007

 

Bluegrass pilots flew 412 hours and 21 min during the month of July, breaking the record again.

 

I didn’t get a screenshot of our profile in time.  So I had to do the math. 

Our pilots averaged 21 hours and 42 minutes.

 

The new A.I.M. is posted at WestCoastATC.  This is required reading for anyone using WestCoastATC.

 

Pilots who do not log any time on WestCoastATC for two consecutive months will be removed from the bga profile at WestCoastATC.   The purpose of this is to increase our average hours per pilot.  If you want to be reactivated click “Join Virtual Airline” and select Bluegrass.  I’ll put you back on the next time I log in.

 

I’ve noticed some pilots are flying on WestCoastATC but have never clicked on “Join Virtual Airline” and associated their call sign with Bluegrass.   Also some pilots are flying, but not filing flightplans or using teamspeak.

 

From the C.E.O.

 

There will not be a Great Aussie Air Rally 2008!   In my semi-retired status, I can not justify the enormous effort required to plan and execute the GAAR. 

 

Don’t forget to check out the forum and add your 3 cents.

 

That’s all for now,

 

Bill Von Sennet
