Operations Director - Resignation

Good evening everyone. I write primarily with a sense of relief, but a tad of regret to inform the Division that I have chosen to leave the Operations Director position. This is a fantastic role that I have held for just shy of 3 years, but one that has required such high levels of effort and expectations of availability that it is time for me to step aside. During that time, I have had the pleasure of working with numerous bright, dedicated and hardworking individuals that churn out a neve

Operations Staff Changes

I regret to inform that @Kye Taylor, one of our two Aerodrome Operations Coordinators has resigned his position in the department. Kye joined my team in August 2023, filling a long vacant gap. From there I've worked with Kye (along with Adam and Archie) through the 8.33 trial, 2 Cross the Ponds, the TC Midlands Implementation and the closure of Doncaster - to name just a few of our projects - alongside keeping our core and supported documents up to date. Most recently Kye has been coordinat

Enroute Operations Coordinator & Enroute TGI Resigns

It is with huge regret that I must announce what many in the community have known for a while. Harry, our Enroute Operations Coordinator will sadly be leaving his role in Operations and as the Enroute TGI at the end of 2023. Harry has been in his Operations post since October 2020, appointed by my predecessor Jack.

Operations Staff Changes

I have good and bad news to announce. Starting with the bad, I regret to announce that @Thomas Mills has resigned as one of our Sector File Coordinators. Thomas was appointed at the same time as Luke as the first 2 sector file coordinators in November 2020. He has given us two whole years of work, 292 commits and just shy of 90,000 line changes on git. We are able to boast such a timely sector file release for most AIRACs in the year, thanks to Tom and Luke's hard work. Those of you that ha

Resignation of Aerodrome Operations Coordinator

I unfortunately report the resignation of Chad Byworth as our Aerodrome Operations Coordinator. Chad has held this position for nearly 2 years, having been appointed by Jack in November 2020. In his time he has done phenomenal work for the department having authored nearly 50 procedure change posts, designing our ‘ACBs’ (authoring the majority of them) and reviewing and improving countless documents produced by others. He has further kept many of our other teams up to date with operations c
