No matter what time slot I would pick, someone would have a work issue, and I gave up a long time ago trying to please everyone.



I understand your point but what would be the harm in getting a current pole on the possibility of shifting the start time back one hour. As you have said you have tried to please everbody a long time ago :old: , maybe allot of the people who flew FSO then aren't even here today  :uhoh and that issue may now be moot with out a current assessment  :headscratch:

Sometimes things need to be updated as a matter of course.

Back an hour or forward and hour? Back an hour means that it would start @ 12am here on the East Coast

Back a hour on the East coast would be 10:00 PM, pushing the time back such as a delay would be 12:00 PM

If we pushed it forward an hour to 12am we could probably get a lot of the European players in. That'd put it at 5am their time, usually.
I know some that would get up early on Saturday morning for that kind of action.  :devil

Personaly, since I'm on the west coast, an hour earlier would be great. It is Friday night after all, and I can gt out a wee bit sooner.  :cheers: :banana:
The established time is fine by me, and I totaly agree with what APDrone said about cultivating the FSO over the years to the number of players we have flying currently, and how a time shift might disrupt the hard work, up to this point, to enlist this many pilots to participate in the events. However, there would be no harm in running a poll so that the community can give you it's honest input on the matter, not just the people who read and or post on the boards. Just a thought. :salute

Oh, and when I speak of the community, I mean that the CO's should be notified of a poll and that they should speak with their respective squads before answering the poll. In fact, to give a better assessment at the squad level and not just having everybody tossing in their own two cookies, it should be a CO only poll. As long as they take the matter up with their own squads first. Just a, I say, just a thought. :bolt:

I think that the time should be kept the same.

I agree. The 353rds attendance is effected by the later start, an hour earlier would make a difference  :cheers:
