Teamspeak normal use

[Maratib Ali]

We have teamspeak i know,but we only use it during GFI's,i mean is there a way that AAV pilots who don't fly GFI know that it exists so that while normal flying they if they want get online on teamspeak as well and get to chat with fellow AAV pilots,can this be done,normally i never see anyone online on teamspeak except for GFI.

The teamspeak 3 that we use for the GFI's is not an official TSP3 for the AAV. We as a virtual airlines do not have one. The TSP3 service is provided to us by Jose S., AAV2, via the good graces of his ZFW ARTCC for VATSIM.

Is is available for all members to use. We don't advertise it as it is not "ours", the AAV. To use it one has to be a member and search the forums for the connection data, or ask via your hub manager for the particulars.

It has been brought up many times that it is available for our use and is posted on the calendar on the GFI page for all members to see how to connect.

If any member wants to use it they can and several of us use it quite frequently when not flying the GFI's.

If there is nobody on the channel then no one has anything to say.

At times you can go on the VATSPY or SERV INFO for VATSIM and see a member flying on line, go to the teamspeak channel to see if they are logged on. If they are, grrrrreat.

Because of my hub manager duties and my RW life, I don't get a chance to fly bids like I did previously. The only flying I seem to get in is the Friday GFI. However, previously when I did bid flights I would log on to TS (or the other audio channel we had prior to TS). If no one was there I would remain on the channel for 15min or 20min. then logoff.

For the last bid I completed I mostly had to fly it late at night when there were very few ATC's logged on and no AAV pilots.
