Flight Office Report #4 Submitted by FA Cyric on 10/10/03 Greetings for another Flight Office report! A relatively slow week in the Flight Office, but I do have a few things to hash out.... 1) The Flight Office site has been finished! You can view it at http://flightoffice.minos.net Many thanks to Captain Aeolus for his help with the site. He was awarded a Gold Star for his efforts! 2) In light of recent events concerning Elite squadrons, and promotions for elite squadron members, I have decided along with the XO and TO that there should be more "slack" in the positional requirements for the Elite members. The training manual lists a time in period for most positions, with "other" specifying an extended wait period, which can be interpreted as elite members etc. So, with this in mind, the Elite members of a squadron will be able to be promoted at a rate of one higher rank than a normal squadron position would warrant. IE: FM to Major instead of Commander..... It has always been my philosophy that the Elites are the most active bunch that the TC has to offer and should therefore be awarded accordingly, HOWEVER, I will want to see such activity when asking for the promo 3) Speaking of Promos, please make sure that there are legitimate reasons for the promotions, "Served appropriate time in rank" is not an appropriate promotional consideration 4) I've been getting allot of mails requesting reserve transfers, AWOLS, etc in my mail box. Some of which I assume are pre approved when in fact they aren't and the chain of command knows nothing about the request. Make SURE that the Database is used for ALL reserve requests, AWOLS, and MIA's. IF its not I will not process it from here on out, unless the request comes from the BGCOM, or ELITE squadron CMDR. 5) Of significant note, General Kaerner has taken over duties as TAU commander. That's about all I have for this week....I try to maintain an open door policy, and am open to suggestions, so please feel free to offer advice and/or criticism on any issues.
