DA ROE Needed
« on: May 17, 2005, 11:36:51 AM »
A ROE  on the clipboard when you enter the DA would be nice.
Typical to what you get when you log into the TA.

Alot of new people are joining in and have no idea what the ROE is nor do they bother to ask. They just come in and start shooting at planes taking off, crawling on someones 6 and squeezing the trigger as they call "check 6".

Was in the DA last night A32 with 2 new guys (just us 3) who I tried to explain the ROE but they just didnt get it. Finally I got preety irate with them. (I'm usally very calm but these 2 got my blood pressure up)

Finally one of them figured it out but the other continued to be a pest.

Anyway point being if there was a message on the clipboard as you log into the DA maybe people would read it and avoid getting flamed by regulars, and make thier DA experience more enjoyable.

Comments??

That's basically a carryover of TA ROE...
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Thats why the DA should have its own so new people know what and what not to do, Plus proper procedure.

After losing my cool with those 2 guys last night I thought "hell its not totally thier fault" But the at least should have asked what the procedures were.

Well I tried to explain to these yahoo's how things were done in the DA. But after the 3rd then a 4th time it was like talking to my 14yr old...In one ear and out the other.

And if I would have obliged them by just knocking them out of the sky, well that would just be "game on" so nothing would have been learned.

I dont know if they thought I was Full of it when I tried to tell them how it was so they just blew me off.

Thats why I figured a written set of guidelines would give "No Excuse" was needed.

Anyway, enough said...
