Ability to call Supervisors

[cpawley]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many ATC might benefit from calling the online SUPV using vacs

Describe the solution you'd like
-> SUPV opts in to being called
-> VACS has a button to allow this (call center style - anyone can pick up the phone)
-> some kind of message to the wallop channel to explain what happened (XX_SUP recieved a call from XXXX_CTR and began handling this case)

Describe alternatives you've considered
A boring text based world

Additional context
Prob a new feature since you would call many people and let the first respondant pick up. SUPs would appreciate the notification it's a SUP call and also the option to mute the ring (since they may be busy)

(may require a discussion with the SUP team)

I'm honestly not sure if vacs is the right place for this, aside from the integrations required into existing VATSIM flows I'm unaware of 🤔
At the moment, it's not an option as we don't allow OBS/SUP connections to connect to vacs (unless they have another active station). We can have a discussion with the SUP team at some point to see if they're interested in something like that, but that's quite a bit down the line as we have other, controller-related functionality to finish first I'd like to prioritize.

Thanks for the suggestion though! We'll have to see what both the vacs community and especially SUPs/tech team think about that.

This would need to be discussed. First thought, and from other similar discussions in the past, is that this will degrade the level of documentation supervisors are able to obtain, which is not a good thing. Text is a choice, not a limitation for us.
But, if there is a genuine need, we are of course open for discussion. 😀
