SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- Air Mobility Command is now advertising to fill newly created flight manager positions in its Tanker Airlift Control Center, Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
AMC is planning on adding General Service positions on a quarterly basis beginning with 4 GS-11s and 9 GS-12s Oct. 1, and approximately 4 to 5 additional positions each quarter thereafter until the full contingent is fielded.
These flight managers will perform dispatch-like duties for AMC's tanker and airlift missions. They will be like virtual crewmembers with the goals of providing near real-time support for the crews and improving mission productivity.
The new positions are in support of Mobility 2000, known as M2K, a major integration effort of AMC's command and control processes and systems designed to dramatically improve safety and operational effectiveness.
According to Brig. Gen. Michael W. Wooley, TACC commander, "M2K coupled with the Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) program, is critical in adapting to the future international flying environment and vital in meeting the requirements of our Aerospace Expeditionary Forces."
The positions require operational mobility experience to include such areas as flying duties, en route operations, command and control, flight dispatching and aircraft maintenance.
