how do I schedule a Metro connection?

[Scott Silberman OPT488]

I would like to make a Metro connection, but I’m not sure how to schedule it.

Help would be appreciated.

Metro Connections are an "iffy" thing. The old agreement between VFO and Metro was that a a request would be posted in our "Metro Connection" forum, with the details of the flight (IE that you'd be flying into KTEB or another NY Metro area airport with a date and expected time as well as where your passengers would like to be transported).

The last time I had spoken with Wayne (president) at Metro he indicated that he wanted to move the forums from VFO boards to Metro's boards. The forum for requests never appeared on Metro's boards.

Metro is a pretty small group and generally I've only regularly seen pilots on sundays (their group flights). You can also catch the pilots on our teamspeak server, both Metro and VFO utilize the same teamspeak server, though you need to schedule a meeting with either myself, Nicholas or Robert to register with the server so you have access to more than just the "lobby".

Hope that answers your question,

Steve

If you come on the TeamSpeak server usually evening eastern time, the Metro guys are usually up for a hop so just let them know and they'll come. As for TS account set up, just let me know and I'll meet ya there!
