I just wanted to send a huge thank you to Cameron Wilbraham. He was controlling ML-WOL_CTR today and was absolutely incredible. It was my first flight on the network and despite a ton of flying off network this week in preparation I was still nervous. He was so friendly throughout, gave lots of options, was flexible all while managing traffic in and out of YSSY and YMML. I really appreciate his help, understanding and patience. His professionalism was also noted while speaking with other pilots on frequency. Such a great start to VATSIM and I am so grateful to have had him control this morning. Incredibly appreciated. Thanks Cameron for an awesome intro to VATSIM and VATPAC. Awesome job AGAIN Cameron!!

Hi Chris, send it over to feedback.vatpac.org I would also encourage you to include details of the event that took place as bullying on the netowrk is unacceptable.

Cheers, was heaps of fun

Congratulations Greg
