Why NOT to ask to be staff in VA's

Meta
1

So I have seen a good amount of people asking about VA’s needing staffing. So this is a topic on why NOT to ask for staff stuff.

REASONS

• VA staff wont be needed if it’s an active va with threads for the va and it’s getting active in events.
• If you WANT to apply for staff then contact the CEO or a IFVARB admin and they will (probably) talk to you about it.
• When you keep asking it keeps getting annoying, you STILL have to go through an application process and will take you a bit to become staff. Plus you more’n likely have to be in the VA and have a certain number of flight time and a certain rank and reputation.
• There are far too many people who ask for COO role even before VA is IFVARB approved and haven’t even contributed anything to the VA.

Tank you all for reading. If I missed anything put it in the comments. I’ll review it and put it in if it seems fit. Hope this helps.:)

I think I speak on behalf of all fellow VA CEO’s in saying that the only way to achieve a staff position is join a VA, be active, rank up and prove through your actions you would be great as a leader. Then when the time comes that VA need a new leader you can apply and be much more likely to receive the position than simply asking for one.

100% agree with @Matt and @HadenJohnson that within our own VA staff are only ever taken from within our current active pillts who have been with the VA for a certain period of time and reached a certain rank. Additioally a new member of staff is still on probation until they have reached the next rank grade which has to be achieved within a certain time period.

First thing first is that all Staff are pilots and have to meet our own minmum flying requirments each month in order to remain active.,

For us we like to make it fair, we post on our thread if there is a spot and anyone can apply. We do favor people who have a good reputation in our slack however.

I agree, but if an unapproved VA posts in the Prospective VA staff thread, please feel welcome to apply if you meet the requirements. This is a good rule for established VAs, though.
