Is the official broker status a reason to exclude someone (specifically me :) ) from applying?

Guys. This is serious.
MrOrange, I don't see why Official Broker can't be an admin. It may involves some logistic problem to be resolved (ie. admin and official broker statuses are not compatible in game), but it doesn't matter that much for this position (at least I don't think it matters that much). So apply if you want it.

I'm afraid not. We need over 18s only to avoid any future legal issues.

oh, on a side note, so the applicants know what to expect;
The future AC Data Officerr would probably be doing other duties instead of really adding planes. There will be some data calculation and correction to do. However, there shouldn't be many planes left to be added after the upcoming reset. With the help of Will and Rick, I am planning to add everything that fly (except seaplanes, space shuttles, and helicopters) with 9 seats or more in one shot :D . I will post the new list of aircraft up later, so you all can point out what aircrafts I have left :wink:

I might do it, but I would like an example of all a/c data that is needed. I am way over 18, hehe, >Excel knowledge: yes, >Aviation and AM buff: Yes (mainly plane spotting), love to research a/c, which is why I find the 2 aircraft quizzes in the General chat to be extremely amusing :) Bachelor in informatics, though it hasn't been my line of work for 8 years (find it boring to do 5-6 days a week).
But, I'd like more background data before applying properly :)

I could do it. I think my years in Actual aviation would be an asset, and I have a huge up to date tech library.
Plus being self employed I think I can swing the required time.

Put it this way, after this surge for aircraft data there wont be too much work left to do except updating data that is out of skew. Of course there will be general admin work too.

I didn't enjoy being younger... you weren't able to play gotcha in Germany, you couldn't buy the R+ rated films and about one in five alcohol sellers told you to buy in another store :evil:
Well that episode is finished for good now :twisted:

What is "gotcha"? Getting to drink at a younger age over here (versus in the States) should have been compensation. That and all the bee-yoo-teefull girls I see all over, especially in the summer.
While I like the 24/7 convenience of the states better, Germany still is a nice place. Talk about festivals!!!
