2024 Christmas

Hi All, In similar fashion to our ATC Training Department, we will be winding down between the 23rd December to the 2nd January. During this time, responses to inquires may be slower than usual. For transfer or visiting applicants, please note that application processing may take longer, and we will not be sending our usual emails with 84 hour deadlines during this period. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy New Year! For those of you taking part in the Christmas Qui

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

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
