Re: !!!!!July GFI!!!!
Excellent! Should be fun,short hop from KCLT to KDCA. I am on board.
Do we need to commit somehow, or just show up?
A question about communications. If we fly connected to VATSIM, but use DISCORD for communication, what happens if ATC is available for some or all of the flight? Can we talk on both simultaneously?
Thanks Rey for setting this up.

Re: !!!!!July GFI!!!!
David, just show up. Just take care of the new requirement to prefile your flight plan with VATSIM.
Regarding comms, I would suggest setting up separate PTT (push-to-talk) buttons in your VATSIM and company talk interface apps. That would normally be vPilot (VATSIM) and DISCORD (company comms). Voice activated might work for one (but not both for obvious reasons), but I do not use voice activated because I want to be intentional in when/whom I am communicating with.
Rey, thanks for stepping up!!! Looking forward to this.

Re: !!!!!July GFI!!!!
GREAT to have GFI's again and the River Visual is a good approach to fly. Unfortunately I may be out of town on that day. If I'm here I will definitely fly with you guys.
