.

You got a position for an official broker?

Is the official broker status a reason to exclude someone (specifically me

) from applying?

I recommend juancho

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.

If I get to vote who will be the aircraft data officer.. i'd pick MrOrange, im sure he can handle all that work..

but of course there's effects such as slow shipping to green ..

Nope, this is a staff position so feel free to apply.

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

. I will post the new list of aircraft up later, so you all can point out what aircrafts I have left :wink:

?

I'd do it but im only 15 so...

Scandalian Airlines · **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2007, 01:17:22 pm

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
