Company Channel disappeared!?
EHM-0654 Murray:
I'll do this here, rather than a full announcement.
As David has rightly noticed, we (the VA) have been removed from the IVAO VA system because we no longer met their VA system rules and regulations. When we joined the VA system many years ago, Gergely made it clear that we would have to have a minimum number of pilots flying a minimum number of hours online to remain, and for quite some time we've not had that minimum number of active pilots. That, along with a number of other "infractions", has resulted in IVAO dropping us from the VA system. :'(
We, as an organisation (and by that I mean you pilots, not just the MT), have a decision to make as a result: do we want to re-apply? It'll mean us all regularly flying (once a week minimum, and an hour or more each), we will need at least ten pilots doing this (myself included), and we'll need to keep this up into the future. If we remain "separate", there's nothing preventing us from flying on IVAO, and continuing to use our "EHM"/"Harmony" callsign; we just lose IVAO PIREPing and an IVAO-specific company channel.
So, at this point, I re-open the floor to you to discuss this with each other and the MT (us), and we'll see if we can't come to a consensus before acting further.
EHM-1997 Alexander:
In order to rejoin IVAO as a VA, we really would need an online evangelist on the management team - someone (or a few) to champion online flight, herd the new blood onto IVAO / Vatsim and organise fly-ins and other online events.
I suggested to the other MT members to approach one of our big online pilots such as Trevor, Peter or David.
If this is something you might like to get involved with, or step up to the plate, then give a shout.

This is official, BTW. We're opening a new MT junior position for this - "Online Czar" ;D
Seriously though, this is a real position within the EHM Staff, and in some ways it's where I started with the VA - although in my case it was called "online flying assistant".
EHM-2581 Dirk:
For what my input is worth, I say let us re-apply. Up until now I have been threatening to start flying online but have needed a kick in the .... and if we should be allowed to have our own channel again it could just be the incentive/obligation needed to start flying such.
The idea of the evangelist seems the perfect way to go.

If a kick in the ... (very known spot of the lower backside of the body) really helps..... ;D I'll be glad to be the executioner! So consider this reply as being kicked! :o Hope to hear from you soon on the IVAO Unicom_Channel, untill we have our own channel again!
To get the Company_Channel back, EHM needs at least 10 pilots, who are willing to fly online on a regular basis and report their flightlogs in IVAO's PIREP. So... who's next to be kicked?
Peter
