Appeal procedures for IFATC, mods, staff, etc

Hello! Something that I’ve always been curious about. I understand the appeals process for regular players, but I wonder how the appeals process work for the aforementioned category of members above? Does it work the same way - by going through the normal appeals process?

I would assume that receiving CUGs, report warnings and violations would be a bit on the low side (if any)! If you can share any stories or experiences that would be great to hear.

I would be shocked if the people who give out the reports did something to get reported.

Believe it or not, Tyler was once issued a report (mistakenly) 😂

It is the same procedure when IFATC members are given a violation/report. It is fair game 🙂 For mods and staff, I’m not too sure though!

I wonder how reluctant a new(ish) IFATC member to report staff members that would relegate grade 4-5 staff members to grade 2 with a level 3 violation 🤣🤣

Yeah that’s a fair assessment. However, I’ve seen an ATC Supervisor been warned with a ‘PFI or you will be reported’. Don’t know if that’s a mistake from which side of the the ATC or pilot coin 🙂

If an IFATC member receives a Level 2 or 3 violation, a member of the IFATC moderation team will reach out to the individual, obtain their replay, and determine any disciplinary action (if any). Hence, there is a sort of appeals process, but it is not handled by the established appeals group.

Alright that makes sense. I would assume you are also held at a higher standard as well, hence disciplinary action. Sounds harsh 😆

In all honesty, yes. You can’t exactly be trusted to dish out punishment for rules that you can’t follow yourself.
