SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE Ill. (USTCNS) --- Air Mobility Command is advertising to fill newly created flight manager positions in its Tanker Airlift Control Center at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.

AMC began adding general service positions, GS-11s and GS-12s, on a quarterly basis this past October and will continue filling positions each quarter thereafter until its full contingent is fielded. Advertisements for the coming quarter will be posted at the end of December through the beginning of January.

Flight managers will perform dispatch duties for AMC's tanker and airlift missions. Similar to virtual crewmembers, their goal will be to provide near real-time support for the crews and improving mission productivity. The positions require operational mobility experience including such areas as flying duties, en route operations, command and control, flight dispatching, and aircraft maintenance.

The new positions are in support of Mobility 2000, also known as M2K. This is a major integration effort of AMC's command and control processes and systems designed to dramatically improve safety and operational effectiveness.
TACC's commander, Brig. Gen. Michael W. Wooley said, "M2K coupled with the global air traffic management program is critical to adapting to the future international flying environment and vital in meeting the requirements of our aerospace expeditionary forces."
