Formal Resignation

[Doug Pullen]

Guys,

After a very long debate, I feel its time to step aside and resign as the ATM of ZOA. ZOA needs new ideas and direction. After many years as chief of different artcc's, Im worn out. I will stay on in ZOA as a controller and help out all I can.

You ALL have been so great in helping me while I was Chief. THANK YOU ALL! I know you all will keep working to make ZOA what it should be, the best in vatusa

Doug,

I am shocked and I don't know what to say other than having the feeling of emptiness. ZOA won't be the same without you.

THANK YOU for all that you've done for ZOA. Looking forward to working along side you behind the scopes.

Best Regards,

Rich

Thanks for all your great work here Doug. If it weren't for you, I would have never gotten started here, and I'm sure many others owe this much to you as well. I'm sure your leadership will leave a positive mark on Oakland as long as you are here, as it has clearly shown in the time that you have run the show. You have inspired all of us to take our hobby to the next level and I truly thank you for this. I hope you can finally get the chance to sit back and relax while someone else guides ZOA. :)

[Mike Fries]

Doug, thanks for everything you have done and for all the times you have saved ZOA. Glad you are still on board

Had a great time back when I was with ZOA. Hope to still see you on when I fly through occasionally :D

Doug,

I am very happy to have served under your supervision. You are a saint and a scholar. I look forward to working the scopes with you in the future as always. It may be our moto in the Marines but it applies to you as well...

Doug,

What a supprse to see that you have resigned as chief. I know that you will be missed in this position by all ZOA controllers. I will feel that a part of the ZOA is missing as well. I enjoyed working with you and all the staff when I was able to control.


Take care my friend and keep in touch.
