Good morning C Area!
I hope this sunny morning finds you well, and you enjoyed your holiday with friends, family, or friends who are like family.
A big congrats to Zeke who certified on D47/48!! Well done to all who helped in his success, great job everyone!
An update I forgot to share with you a while ago, and for that I’m sorry. I talked to Dan about the wording in the route chan about 18 has control from 31 for KMWH arrivals. He and I agree - if the aircraft is in 31’s airspace, regardless of who you got the handoff from, you have control of that aircraft. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
In regard to us going through DIABLO to 12 or 31’s airspace, I talked to Dan about this as well. You can expect that if you don’t reach out to the A area and tell them that the airspace isn’t occupied, you will probably get a call or a visit. I tried to talk about this and explain that we are the controlling agency for the airspace, but it did not get anywhere, so I want to share with you that the conversation has been had, and that was the result. If you want more information about this, I would be happy to share it with you, just not in an email.
Round 5…. So, I think I boogered it up by not putting everyone’s accumulated leave balance in before I started the round, falsely presuming that it wouldn’t get down that far…. I am going to reach out to those who bid days individually and restart this round with everyone’s accumulated leave balance in so there will be no hiccups. I’m sorry for the delay and confusion, BidATC isn’t a team player sometimes and as much time as I spent trying to pause it and restart it with balances in there, I’m done playing with it and I’m going to start it over.
Thank you guys for all you do, especially those who worked the past few days. I appreciate you all and hope you have a great rest of your week and a very Happy New Year! Looking forward to what 2024 has for us!
