Whew, finally got a chance to reply -
I am in Tech Ops, not Air Traffic, so I don't work the scopes. I make sure the NAS systems are operational for the controllers. We monitor/reconfigure/mitigate failures, etc., for the NAS. Oakland Center controls the domestic airspace for NorCal over into Nevada, up into Oregon, and halfway down to LA. We also control the Oceanic airspace for the Pacific Ocean - all of it. The NAS Operations Manager is responsible for two Host computer systems that manage all flight plans (one domestic and one oceanic), the Display subsystems that provide the controllers their picture, and all the ground-based NavAids for the SFO Bay Area and NorCal General Aviation customers.
450knot, I'll have one of my controller friends give you a shout out one of these days. Maybe even a preferential route.
I definitely want to keep the avatar, but I'm worried that it'll be lost if I switch to a new profile. I've recently tried to change it, and it doesn't seem like the new server permissions allow animated gif avatars anymore. I think I'm the only one left.
EDIT: For Wayne - If it can be done, I'd really appreciate just changing the username and leaving everything else alone. I'll drop you an e-mail in case you don't see this.
