Hello Community!

We will be interviewing @THE-OP very shortly. The-OP is a former military air traffic controller, his role was watch supervisor, he was in charge of the operations. He was a controller for almost 12 years and now he is a procedures designer. He trained our ATC Community Manager @Tyler_Shelton.

Please feel free to leave any questions you may have for The-OP down below!

Questions will be accepted until Wednesday the 21st of December.

In the meantime, I suggest you go and have a read at one of the other topics we have on our website.

MaxSez: Ah “THE OP” was a soldier (small S) or with the “Farce” (big F) apparently and a Controller too, WOW😮. Stateside, Fixed Base? Where?..Ever deploy OConUs or Expeditionary? Where. Might of heard your tinney voice some place. Taught the IF Air Boss how to push iron did ya, OJT or Formal School Setting, Where? Now a “Procedures Designer”, aviation related or for a shoe factory? Why don’t we hear or see from you more often on the Forum or flying by? Your an IF Star ya know, everybody considers you THE voice of authority, give you a rush does it? Have a desk at FDS Hq or correspond, enjoy Bosses nite with the IF “crew” when your on the Coast, Do the bosses buy? Enough Already, Who Lov’s ya Baby! Excellent Choice Oscar, Celebrity Edition, can’t wait…LOL
