Okay, we should continue the lists who ATCs where in Italy in an Italy Festival thread. As far as I remember right now, some airports in the South and Sardinia and Corsica were claimed already when I made my min d up for Genoa because I went north only because I think Calvi was already claimed by someone else.
I still think, the idea of a wider variety of events has merits. Of course, it is a lot of work, so someone has to do it and some events demand coordination while they go on, so there is more work also for ATCs or ATC-like operations. I mean, we have also ships, right? So, let one sink or disappear and see how our pilots do with an airborne search and rescue? But then, we need a good ATC for marshaling them as well. Or maybe someone wants to plan an emergency operation in an earthquake or mudslide area? Airborne firefighters maybe? A carrier off the coast maybe? Those are just ideas and maybe someone can flesh them out more?
The promotion aspect is very important for two things: First, we want more people at the Festivals, second we want in general more people in FG. Alas, I am not the real social media person. So, whoever knows more about it, we are looking for a public relations person as it looks to me
On a personal side note: I really sop thinking in categories like "FG Event" or "FGMEMBERS Event". We do anyway 80 to 90% of the work, all Curtis smurfs do is hampering us and thus causing even more work. So, as far as I am concerned, it is just "Event" and we promote it where and how we can.
