The Oakland ARTCC on VATSIM strives to be one of the most professional and realistic ARTCCs in VATUSA, and controllers are expected to know and learn a significant amount of information. Our mission here is dedicated to the highest quality ATC services delivered with a sense of friendliness, individual pride, and ARTCC spirit. Our airspace covers the harrowing Bay Area airspace including San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, as well as challenging mountainous airports like Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Mammoth Lakes. We've got something for everybody!

Just wanted to give props to Nick for handling a busy Oakland airspace without any controllers below him in SFO and accommodating for a visually impaired pilot at the same time. This is the type of controlling that makes vatsim so great!
Extreme patience during the most trying times with difficult pilots. I commend your ability to keep it together and still provide great service.
Brandan the OAK Center controlling 11/25/2020 around 3PM EST was absolutely amazing please make his work the standard for everyone
