ATC attention?

I explained what had to be said in my previous message, the one as a response to you. No favouritism takes place when it comes to violations (to add something: I dislike when any kind of favouritism, in every aspect of life, takes place; I would never be the one practicing it), no Staff member has ever been rude or sarcastic to their own clients, and no, it is not true that ATC controllers have not been trained well.

I’m a Trainer myself. The amount of time and energy we dedicate as volunteers would be crazy for many of you to hear. I’m also part of the Appeals Team, so not only do I train incoming controllers or controllers who want to upgrade their rank, but I also “train” existing ones with the violations policy, reviewing other controllers’ replays and providing feedback.

You are making an example of a “Taxi through other aircraft” violation you received, which I honestly don’t know much about it (we receive dozens of appeals per week). If the controller reported you, and the Appeals Team has decided not to remove your violation, then it means you were at fault. I don’t mean it in a bad way, nor do I want to sound harsh with it, so don’t get me wrong. However, you made a mistake, and you can learn from it.

As I said in my message above, you cannot accuse us like that without knowing what actually happens. In IFATC, a lot happens. You see only a part of it, just like most of the IFATC controllers themselves who do not have roles such as Appeals, Trainer or similar.

Please, I kindly ask you to take some time to review our replies to you below this topic, which include much information and can help you understand our point of view too, which is a more experienced one for what regards the ATC aspect of Infinite Flight. Thanks.
