2024 - Statistics and Review

As @Ben Wright alluded to in his January 2025 Update blog post here is the longer and more detailed anaysis of the statistics of aircraft movements and controlling over the last year!

John Batten Member Services Director Resignation

Hi all, I would like to let you know that I'm stepping down from Member Services Director. I have decided this for two reason. Firstly I have an upcoming promotion at work which is exciting but I am going to have to put that first and put a lot of time into it to prepare Secondly I feel while I had an initial success getting  Visiting and Transferring open again with the opening of C1/C3 transfers this has since stalled. I feel someone else will have the skills and experience to f

Hi All, A busy time for the Member Services department lately. We have concluded the recent round of recruitment for new member services assistants. It gives me great pleasure to welcome @William Shaw and @William Brushfield to the MS team. They both have a good deal of recent experience within the division and will be a great assets to the team. With the new additions it is sadly also time to say goodbye to someone else. @Dale Stainrod is leaving the MS team to focus his efforts

Hi All, Over the last year or so the Members Services and ATC Training departments have been working on a revamp of our visiting and transferring controller policies to give controllers a better and fair opportunity within VATAIM UK as a visitor or transferee.

Lee Roberts Member Services Director Resignation

Hi all, I am afraid it is time for me to announce that I am stepping down as the Member Services Director. This is happening much sooner than I would have liked, however with my job forcing me to step away from VATSIM for a short while I can no longer continue as the Member Services Director as much as I would have liked to. I did try an negotiate a pay rise but Chris said no ☹ and well, VATSIM doesn’t pay the bills so I must step aside to allow the department and division to continue
