Can’t people look on LiveFlight or go into the app to see this?
@hmkane… MaxSez: Some do & Some Don’t. This is for the record and will be random & cumulative thru 1November.

Thanks Chris, Regards, Max
Despicable. More then enough people have taken the ATC test to have all regions nearly fully staffed 24/7. Unfortunately it’s the same dozen or so names active everyday.

MaxSez: @AR_AR… I’ve been following these numbers for awhile. I’ll continue to run them till the first. The cumulative average will be interesting. It’s been my observation that TR-1 is getting the bulk of the active flyers 3/5 because of Reginal diversity and a frequent opportunity to work a full ATC structure.
The final numbers will at least give a snap shot for reference.

There is that issue of compensation, it appears you did not calculate for this.
It could be as simple as compensating those who log on and provide service more than once a week with a Live+ subscription.
It’s a small price to pay to have reliable and consistent ATC coverage.
I’d gladly pay an extra $5/yr for Live+ (10%) to help cover it.

FDS has what… 6 employees? Plus hosting fees, etc. Figure there are what… 1000 live+ subscriptions at most? That’s not a ton of money for what they already do. Very lucky to have such a giving community.

@zbelle… AR_AR. MaxSez: $5+ speak for your self. The Key is a carrot & stick… To retain IFATC status you must volunteer a minimum of XX number of hours on duty per month. (Vacation, School, Illness furloughs consider. Refresher ting req prior to reactivation)
Gotta be more than that.
No way they’re propping up the servers and paying staff on a cumulative “guaranteed” budget of $50-60,000.
I don’t think I’d be out of line by saying there are closer to 2,000 Live+ subs active at any given time and a couple times more that Live month to month.
@zbelle… your way out of your area of expertise and station in life! Corporate structure and finance has its place. Not here.
AR_AR… comment noted. Let’s leave well enough alone. Render unto the corporation etc. Well above all our pay grades.

I’m just offering a solution to people’s complaints that Expert is inconsistently staffed.

At the end of the day, what is the goal with gathering the stats? Is there a trend you are trying to show? Just curious. I do this sort of trending in my day job too so I am always interested.
