FLIGHT OFFICE REPORT #7 FA Cyric reporting on 11/01/03 A fairly slow week but I do have two things to point out. 1) I have submitted a TC wide comp for the creation of a new TCCOMs Own Banner. The Comp ID and info is 1066, and it will run until 11/27/03 -I will begin awarding the TCCOM's OWN again at the end of the month of November to a highly active wing within the TC. 2) I have been very quick with roster changes and FL promos etc, almost to a fault because once I get the requests, I am assuming that the chain had been notified and that everyone has given approvals. This from the FSO's and on the FO website: Transfers of pilots between squadrons or to and from the Reserves are traditionally a bit of a headache for all concerned. While it may be convenient for the pilot to simply email the Flight Officer direct with the transfer request, it is far from convenient for the Flight Officer to find out the names and email addresses of every officer who needs to know about the transfer for you. And since the Flight Officer has a daily email load of anything up to 70 emails while the average pilot is lucky to get 10, the following procedure will be adopted where a request for a transfer is being considered: A pilot wishing to transfer should request the transfer first from their own Commander. This allows the Commander time to find out the reasons why the transfer is being requested. If there is a problem in the Squadron, now is the time to correct the problem. The pilot should then find out the email addresses of the Commander, Wing Commander, COM and BGCOM of the Wing to which he or she wishes to transfer. If you can't be bothered to do this much, you're obviously not ready for the level of commitment that a transfer to a new Squadron involves and your transfer request will be denied immediately. The pilot should now send a transfer request to their Commander, cc'ing ALL Superior Officers involved (CMDR+) on both sides. The Commander of the Squadron to which you are transferring should reply to all addressees on the transfer request, remembering to cc the Flight Officer. The Flight Officer will then approve the transfer. The Flight Officer should be the last person to hear about a request for a transfer, not the first. By the time it gets to the Flight Office, the request should be ready for approval. Any requests that reach the Flight Office without having first been to all relevant commanding officers will be rejected immediately, and the person sending the mail will be invited to read Fleet Standing Orders. I should only get the mail for the transfer or FL positional promo LAST! I don't want to be cc'ed with the request, I only want to get the FINAL letter stating that everyone has approved and please make the change! This will need to be followed to the letter of the law from here on out. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the FSO's! In Service.....
