NJC '08 Was Absolutely FANTASTIC!

Bigey · October 23rd, 2008, 06:44

Just want to say a big thanks to Doug, Kristie, Mike, and all those that made NJC possible! It was the most enjoyable time i've had in vegas ever!

It was cool to finally meet everyone in person, and put the damn screename and avatar pic to who they really are!

Thanks again for everyone making it out and making it such a great time! Looking forward to do it again next year!

I enjoyed the Tower/TRACON tour. Who knew those ATC guys/gals could be so funny and entertaining?!

popaviator · October 23rd, 2008, 11:34

We're going to rock it out again next year!

Cav · October 23rd, 2008, 12:18

It was a great few days meeting everyone. If you have not been, take it from me after my first visit...you will never think of this website or the people who contribute to it, the same. Doug and Kristie deserve immeasurable credit for the service they provide. I look forward to next year!

wildfreightess · October 23rd, 2008, 15:14

..now that you mention it---the guys of ATC weren't too shabby either.

Captain_Bob · October 25th, 2008, 23:34

You know... and I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed... but it seemed to be fairly segragated. It seemed the Tower was female dominant whereas TRACON was male dominant.

Qgar · October 25th, 2008, 23:41

Good point...maybe it's because women like to be "out in the open" and men like to "hide in the dark."

ATC RET 2003 · October 26th, 2008, 00:02

Tower people like to be on top.

Dazzler · October 26th, 2008, 00:14

Women tend to multitask better than men.
So women in the tower makes sense - juggling between takeoffs, landings, multiple runways, etc. as opposed to in the TRACON which is more linear - e.g. lining up traffic on final approach.

Hey it's a theory anyway.
