Dear readers, Thank you to all the men and women in the United States Armed Forces and to their families. Everyone on the Aero Crew News staff is forever grateful for your bravery, your commitment and your sacrifices. Personally, I hold a special place in my heart for the men and women of the United States Armed Forces because my father is a retired Lt. Col. of the U.S. Air Force. My one regret is not having been able to join the Air Force after college. Unfortunately, I had some challenges that prevented me from going that route, but, I identify with and honor those who have. Our feature in this issue is the inspiring and poignant story of a Tuskegee Airman whose legacy still reaches many every day. Absorb the story of Lt. Col. John Mosley and draw inspiration from his commitment to his country and to propelling the promise of equality for all Americans. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let Memorial Day be the only day that we thank our veterans. Show your appreciation and acknowledge our debt to them every day. I am committed to ensuring that I thank those whom I see in uniform for their service. It strengthens our bond as Americans and connects us to those who have made the sacrifice. Fly safe,

In turn, this enables them to obtain the prerequisite qualifications to be recognized as a qualified and desirable candidate for a position at Horizon. James Fletcher, Director of Pilot Sourcing and Industry Relations, remarked, “We are very happy to partner with Horizon Airlines to offer a pathway for our pilots who want to live and work on the west coast as they advance in their careers. Our two companies share a need to find well-qualified, experienced pilots with an ability to fly in all types of weather and environments. We also share a similar corporate culture and concern for the growth of our pilots, which makes this agreement a natural fit” “Horizon is very happy to partner up with such an outstanding company as Cape Air and establish a relationship that will provide talented pilots to both companies for year to come” said Horizon Chief Pilot, Carlos Zendejas. The Pilot Pathways Program is offered to all current and future Cape Air pilots who obtain the level of Captain at Cape Air.

Silver Airways, America’s leading independent regional airline, has undergone a complete operational and customer service transformation and in doing so is reinventing the regional flying sector by being the first U.S. carrier to operate the newly redesigned and technologically advanced, customer friendly ATR-600 series aircraft. The aircraft is specifically designed for short-haul markets, but with the same look, feel and customer amenities of larger jetliners. It has been nearly 25 years since a new ATR has flown in the U.S. Today marks the first time revenue passengers have flown an ATR-600 operated by a U.S. carrier and the first time a fully independent U.S. regional airline has taken delivery of a new aircraft in many decades.

series also features the latest innovations in cockpit technology with simplified, integrated LCD advanced functions, enhancing safety and improved handling for pilots, as well as the latest in avionics technology. The state-of-the-art, all-glass cockpit further reduces flight crew workload and enhances situational awareness while providing better reliability, maintenance cost savings and weight reduction.

The new aircraft are allowing Silver to expand its service in the Southeastern United States, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. By initially introducing the missionspecific ATR-42-600 aircraft, with seating for 46, Silver now has the unique ability to offer quicker direct flights to even more short and medium-haul leisure and business destinations in both domestic and nearby international markets.

“We are proud to see the ATR-600 aircraft take flight in the U.S. and to introduce the most modern standards of passenger experience and regional aircraft with our valued partner Silver Airways,” said ATR Chief Executive Officer Stefano Bortoli. “We are grateful to our friends at Silver for being our U.S. launch customer and leading what we expect to be a new wave of eco-responsible and passenger-friendly regional travel in the U.S. and the return of the ATRs in North America.”

“This is truly a great day for Silver Airways, ATR, Nordic Aviation Capital and our customers that would not have been possible without the hundreds of dedicated men and women of Silver Airways and Seaborne Airlines who have worked tirelessly over the past year to arrive at this historic moment,” said Silver Airways and Seaborne Airlines CEO Steve Rossum. “The new ATR-600 series aircraft will be transformational for Silver Airways and is ideal for our short-haul domestic and nearby international operations. The state-of-the art aircraft allows for a safe, highly reliable and efficient fleet operation and a superior overall experience for our guests.” The new ATR-600 series features the widest cabin in the regional aircraft market with a new ergonomic design and lightweight slim seats offering passengers maximum comfort. Silver’s ATR fleet will be configured with 46 seats in a 2-2 seating configuration with up to a 32-inch pitch offering more legroom than many mainline aircraft. In addition, Silver’s ATR fleet will have spacious full-size overhead bins for carry-on bags along with full-size lavatories, bright LED lite cabins and is quieter than regional jets. The new ATR-600

Silver Airways has codeshare and interline relationships with most of the leading airlines in the U.S. and many worldwide. The new ATRs will provide superior air transportation with a level of comfort and quietness commensurate with the service of Silver’s worldwide airline partners.

“Nordic Aviation Capital is proud of its relationship with Silver Airways and we are particularly pleased to be part of their great success story,” said Martin Moller, Chairman of Nordic Aviation Capital. “The introduction of the ATR-600 series represents an essential milestone for them. We congratulate Silver Airways on their service expansion and look forward to continuing our outstanding relationship with them for many years to come.” Silver Airways has taken delivery of three of up to 50 new ATR-600 series aircraft, including an initial order for 20 ATR-42-600 aircraft split among the 46seat ATR-42s and the 70-seat ATR-72s. As the world’s leading regional flying aircraft, the new ATRs will provide Silver’s passengers unparalleled experience and reliability and pilots the industry’s most advanced cockpit. Silver intends to take delivery and begin operating five more ATR-42-600s in 2019, and subject to regulatory approval, the airline is planning to take delivery of at least three ATR-72-600s this year. All of the initial 20 aircraft are expected to be in service by 2020. ACN

this wonderful organization,” said Roman Mendez, Desert Jet Center General Manager. “We are proud to support the Angel Flight West mission and their outstanding team of volunteer pilots. We thank them for everything they do, and we look forward to touching more lives together!”

Volunteer pilots donate their time and aircraft to assist the nonprofit organization, Angel Flight West (AFW) by providing free, air travel transportation for children and adults with serious medical conditions or other compelling needs. In support of the program and the philanthropic work of its volunteer pilots, Desert Jet Center is waiving ramp fees for all AFW missions arriving at the executive FBO in KTRM. The savings will help pilots minimize their personal costs associated with their donated flight.

“We’re already looking forward to sharing our success stories of lives changed thanks to the gift of flight,” stated Mary Hunter, Angel Flight West Development Director. “Thank you again Denise for your leadership, and the whole Desert Jet team for all of your hard work and passion to transform your community.” With Desert Jet Center’s designation as the CAA Preferred FBO at KTRM, pilots who are CAA members can also receive additional discounts on fuel costs, saving their out-of-pocket costs further. Voting to renew the FBO’s preferred status at KTRM will begin July 1st. ACN

Desert Jet Center’s founder, Denise Wilson, flew her first Angel Flight West mission in 1998. Looking back, flying for Angel Flight West had a significant influence on her appreciation for the impact volunteer flying can have on both the pilot and the passenger. With the construction of Desert Jet Center’s new terminal and hangar facility nearing completion, the FBO will serve as a warm welcome to the many pilots who graciously volunteer their aircraft and time to assist those in need. “Our family here at Desert Jet Center is honored to support

Bravo Zulu!

Silver Airways Salutes U.S. Armed Forces with Debut of Military-Themed Aircraft

Image Provided by: Silver Airways. Veterans and active-duty military from Silver Airways and the community attended the unveiling of “Bravo Zulu” at Silver Airways’ maintenance hangar in Orlando

s we just remembered Memorial Day, Silver Airways is saying Bravo Zulu! to the dedicated men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who have selflessly given of themselves to protect us all and those who continue to serve our country with the unveiling a newly-painted military-themed aircraft. The Saab 340 was officially named “Bravo Zulu,” a long tradition and widely-used phrase throughout the military for a job well done. The messages “Saluting Service Members” and “All Gave Some – Some Gave All” is also inscribed on the plane. “We are proud to unveil ‘Bravo Zulu’ as our tribute of appreciation to veteran and active-duty members of the U.S. military in salute of their tireless dedication and sacrifices in serving our country,” said Silver Airways CEO Steve Rossum. Silver Airways serves a large number of military communities throughout its Florida network and beyond.

This week, “Bravo Zulu” is scheduled to take its maiden flight between two historic U.S. Air Force bases – Orlando International Airport, formerly McCoy Air Force Base, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, located within Eglin Air Force Base. The first flight from Orlando to Destin is on May 16, 2019, and the first flight from Destin to Orlando is on May 17, 2019. In addition to connecting Northwest Florida to Central Florida, this new service also provides convenient connections to Silver’s extensive network throughout the Sunshine State, the Bahamas and beyond. The airline also offers a discount for active-duty military (and their spouse and children) traveling for leisure on all Silver Airways flights, including members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard and reserve personnel on active duty status.

SQUALL LINE

Look Mom! It’s a Mothership! Mesoscale Convective Systems are no place for an airplane W r i t t e n B y: A n t h o n y L o r e n t i

othership is not a term you’ll find in the weather glossary, but it is a term used by some to describe the appearance of a really menacing-looking thunderstorm. The mothership moniker comes from these storms’ uncanny resemblance to a well-known, large UFO from a movie.

Mother first! The “mother of motherships” is the Mesoscale Convective System (MCS). An MCS is a collection or cluster of thunderstorms that has become organized. It is typically round in shape, large, possibly covering as much as several states and long-lasting (six or more hours). An MCS often gains its characteristics resulting from the merging of multiple squall lines. Where squall lines merge is no place for an airplane! I encourage you to look at the satellite view, and the water vapor and infrared images too.

You want to try the approach again? The point to be made is that your pre- and in-flight decision-making should be greatly affected by your awareness and knowledge of an MCS. Said another way, your technical knowledge gives legitimacy when you articulate various flight-related decisions. The size, scope and duration of an MCS may make circumnavigating it nearly impossible. There are few holes in a cluster of T-storms. Further, will you have enough fuel to hold for six hours? Finally, “letting it pass” takes on an entirely new meaning in the case of an MCS when compared to more typical, smaller scale convection. It is likely a case in which 20, 30 even 45 minutes is not enough time for a behemoth to pass.

22 | Aero Crew News

BACK TO CONTENTS

Siblings of an MCS. You can’t expect “mother” to be without her “children” and they are real brats too. While there are technical differences between this “mother” and her “children,” the implications to you and your aircraft are the same. Her children:

MCC: Mesoscale Convective Complex

MCV: Mesoscale Convective Vortex

In Summary. Be proactive. Expect the unexpected. The aspects that make an MCS a formidable opponent are its persistence, its size and its ability to endure. When dealing with such a titan, giving a very wide berth, being very deliberate and cautious is the best course of action — literally and figuratively. The better you know the conditions you face, the better your pre- and in-flight decisions will be. You can command the situation when you see it coming. ACN

I am no expert, just another pilot with an opinion, but here are my suggestions for dealing with an MCS: 1) Don’t. 2) Know your threat. 3) Consider an early push if you are departing. Rally those troops. It could be worth it if you can get out safely ahead of it rather than waiting for it to consume the field.

5) Communicate regularly with the people on the ground, dispatch and ATC to keep alternate plans at the ready. 6) Know what the MCS is doing. Situational awareness is key. In other words, if it’s close, remember Paul Revere! (The storm is coming! The storm is coming!)

4) Adjust your speed according to your position relative to its position. a. Follow all SOP. b. Brief your crew.

Six hacks for a better sleep Wherever you may be W r i t t e n B y: R e i n i T h i j s s e n

24 | Aero Crew News

BACK TO CONTENTS

hether crossing time zones in a middle seat or managing an intensive transcontinental flight in the cockpit: eventually your inner clock will get messed up. Instead of countless sheep,

buckets of warm milk and tea, we present six easy and effective hacks to provide well-deserved, quality sleep – wherever! Precious extra hours of sleep will actually improve your mood, productivity, and of course, your general quality of life.

1. Stay hydrated

Make sure to stay hydrated, especially during and after flying. Enough H20 throughout the day has a surprisingly positive effect on your sleep at night. Drinking nine to 13 cups of water a day will help you avoid waking up perishing from thirst at 3 a.m. Pro-tip: Drink a cup of water right before sleep to keep your minerals and vitamins in balance throughout the night.

2. Dress, not to impress

Your body temperature cools down slightly when falling asleep, partly due to the secretion of melatonin. Keeping your body warm and cozy, especially in air-conditioned places, will help you fall asleep in no time. Bring a warm sweater/socks/pillow/blanket to tell your body it’s time for bed. Studies have shown that warm feet and hands were the best predictors of rapid sleep.

3. Try the 4-7-8 technique

Widely promoted is the 4-7-8 technique which can help you to relax your mind to get into your nap easier. This method was pioneered by Dr. Andrew Weil, who earned his title at Harvard University in 1968. He postulates that concentrating on your breath while deep breathing helps you relax and has a positive influence on your physiology, your thought processes, and therefore your mood. In short, breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, then exhale for eight seconds. 1. Put the tip of your tongue against your palate, right behind your upper teeth. Keep it there during the exercise. 2. Exhale all air in your lungs through your mouth. Make a whoosh sound. 3. Close your mouth and inhale slowly through your nose while you count to four. 4. Hold your breath until you count to seven. 5. Exhale through your mouth to a count of eight. Again, make the whoosh sound. 6. Repeat three more times (assuming you’re not already asleep).

4. Sleep-inducing snacks

Beyond the obvious advice to avoid, fat, caffeine, overeating and alcohol right before sleep, research suggests that small portions of carbohydrates with a low glycemic index will help us fall asleep. The theory is that these kinds of snacks may help our brain produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that makes us feel happy and relaxed. Look for foods containing magnesium, serotonin, melatonin and tryptophan. Here are some easy-to-pack examples for your next trip: lmonds – Almonds contribute to a great sleep, providing you with tryptophan, a calming amino acid, and A magnesium which is also known for its muscle-relaxant effect. ananas – Bananas contain both melatonin and serotonin, well-known sleep inducing chemicals. Additonally, B magnesium and potassium will be provided by this superfruit. Also try avocados, cherries and kiwi. oney – Too much sugar before going to sleep can keep you awake for hours. However, a small amount of glucose H right before going to sleep, stimulates the brain to stop producing orexin. Orexin is a neurotransmitter that keeps us alert. A little honey in your (chamomile) tea – sweet dreams guaranteed.

5. Exercise enough

A golden rule for life, but also for great sleep, is to exercise regularly! This is especially important for those with sedentary professions. The importance of enough exercise can’t be stressed too much. Getting up hourly for a quick visit to the bathroom during that hours-long flight helps keep the blood flowing and is proof you’re hydrating enough. Once you have arrived at your destination, make sure you travel by foot and take the stairs as much as possible. Aside from those weekly (intense) workouts in the gym of course, try to stick to a normal workout schedule at all times!

6. Relax your muscles

Having trouble falling asleep? Try the following hack: Progressive relaxation is a very common technique among those experiencing insomnia. It is a combination of first contracting then relaxing your muscles which helps you to become aware of the tension and relaxation in your body. Start at the lowest point of the body, and work your way up to your head. 1. Starting at your feet, while inhaling, contract one muscle group at a time. Keep tension for five to ten seconds. 2. Relax for ten to 20 seconds. 3. Continue with the next muscle group. Tense and relax every area of the body along the way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your lower legs, thighs, belly, arms, shoulders, neck, and even your face. ry to focus on the release of the tension in your muscles. Beyond physical stress, the technique might even help T you release mental tensions which can also interfere with a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. ACN

The Mega Backdoor Roth An option within some 401(k) plans W r i t t e n B y: G l e n n N e v o l a

30 | Aero Crew News

BACK TO CONTENTS

Overview Contributions, on an after-tax basis, to your 401(k) can be converted to a Roth and remain in the 401(k), or possibly, be moved to an outside Roth IRA. This would provide tax-free income to be used during retirement that would supplement your taxable income since the gains on Roths are not taxed upon distribution. There are two types of Roths (and therefore two types of conversions to Roth). They are the Roth 401(k) and the Roth IRA. There are significant differences between the two.

Procedure To accomplish this, you will have had to reach your personal limit of either $19,000 or $25,000 for the year. (For our purposes, I am citing 2019 limits.) Once this is achieved, you can make after-tax contributions to your 401(k) up to the 415(c) limit of either $56,000 or $62,000. Keep in mind, if your company also contributes to your 401(k), your after-tax contributions will be combined with your company’s contributions for the purpose of reaching the overall limit. Example: A total overall limit of $56,000 wherein you contributed the max of $19,000; the company, at that point, has contributed $10,000 to provide $29,000 in the 401(k). You can now contribute $27,000 after-tax (to bring you immediately up to the $56,000 limit). The $27,000 would go into the after-tax “bucket” which is convertible to a Roth within the 401(k) OR you can roll (the $27,000 bucket) into an outside Roth IRA (if your plan allows in-service distributions). Not all 401(k) plans allow this, so you would have to check with your provider. The 401(k) plan has to allow in-service distributions of after-tax funds prior to age 591/2 to be able to roll out these funds and also allow after-tax contributions.

Required minimum distributions (RMD) RMDs are required when you reach age 70 1/2 from taxable accounts: 401(k), IRA, SEP, IRA, etc. RMDs are also required on a Roth 401(k) if you have left the Roth conversion in the 401(k) at the time you reach the RMD age. RMDs are not required on Roth IRAs. Therefore, a rollover from a Roth 401(k) to a Roth IRA would make sense closer to the time you would reach RMD age, so you are not required to take distributions. (Currently, there is a bill in Congress to raise this RMD age to 72 years.)

Summary This is called a Mega Backdoor Roth (rather than a regular Backdoor Roth) because you have the option of putting much more into an after-tax 401(k) than the $6,000 or $7,000 (2019) annual IRA limits. With a regular Backdoor Roth, you contribute the $6,000 or $7,000 to an after-tax IRA, then convert to a Roth. With a Mega Backdoor Roth, you can contribute up to the 415(c) limit after tax, within the 401(k) and convert to Roth either inside or outside of the 401(k). Anytime you convert, in either of these scenarios, you will owe taxes on the gains upon the day of conversion. These gains are added to your taxable income for that year and are taxed at your effective tax rate. Few may be interested in this option, but I want to bring it to your attention for your retirement planning. If permissible within your plan, it is a great way to build substantial tax-free income.

PERSPECTIVES

The Importance of a Mentor A u t h o r : V i c t o r Va z q u e z

32 | Aero Crew News

BACK TO CONTENTS

hen we first start a new journey, there are many daunting unknowns that are presented to us. Some of the questions that occurred to me at the beginning of my own journey were about training footprints, what schools to attend, and what career paths to take. Having someone, a mentor, to help navigate through these questions can be very beneficial. In aviation, a mentor can be someone who is an instructor, a current or former airline pilot, or someone who can get you connected with others in the industry. When selecting a mentor, it is important to find someone willing to listening, with experience with your type of situation and who is willing to give unbiased information.

As I started training, I was able to find a mentor with all of those qualities. He was the head flight instructor at my flight school and had years of experience within the airline industry. When I first mentioned to him that I wanted to become an airline pilot, he presented the potential paths I could take. When questions came up about particular choices, such as universities and jobs, he would direct me to someone who could better guide me in those decisions. As time went on, my mentor became my confidant. If I had a tough day, questions about work/life balance, or just wanted to celebrate a training event, I could always rely on him to talk about whatever was on my mind. No matter in what phase of your career you find yourself, my encouragement to you is to find a mentor. Whether you are just starting out in aviation or have been in aviation for many years, having a mentor will always be beneficial. Plus, you can be mentored and be a mentor at the same time. There will always be those ahead of you who can help you as well as those coming up behind you who can benefit from your experiences. If you are in search of a mentor, or want to become a mentor yourself, I invite you to check out The Professional Pilots of Tomorrow (www.theppot.org). PPOT includes over 1000 members with 250 volunteer pilot-mentors who come from a wide array of schools, carriers, and operational backgrounds. I joined this organization as a mentor almost two years ago, and from what I have experienced, all of the pilot-mentors are highly motivated to help others on their career path within aviation. Once you become a member, you are assigned a mentor who will contact you on a monthly

basis. As individual mentors and as an organization, our goal is to provide unbiased information to our colleagues. If a question arises about a particular topic for which we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the answer, we will use available resources to point in the right direction. Personally, within the organization, I have seen pilots move from student pilots into corporate and airline positions. Generally, as these pilots continue in their careers, they develop a desire to help others following behind. No matter where you are in your career, get connected with PPOT! A mentorship not only helps you navigate and grow in those tough career situations but will also develop your networking skills. As mentors, we hope to engage those who are looking to follow our paths and help in their development. As you pursue your future as a professional pilot, having a mentor alongside you and being a mentor to another will contribute to making for a much more fulfilling journey. ACN

story of triumph through grit A and determination W R I T T E N B Y: D E B O R A H B A N D Y

aptain Eric Mosley settles into the left seat of the B777 with a new face to his right. They exchange the ordinary pleasantries and dive into the pre-departure routine. It’s all business until cruise, when they gain the opportunity to become acquainted. After all, they’ll see a lot of each other over this four-day. First Officer Casey’s interest is piqued when he eyes the impressive silver bracelet of wings on the captain’s right wrist. “Interesting bracelet, Cap’n,” Casey says matter-of-factly, hoping to engage the senior officer in easy conversation. “My father’s wings. He was a Tuskegee Airman,” Mosley offers with a wistful expression. FO Casey’s eyes widen while his reaction is a simple, “Wow! There’s some history there, no doubt.” Taking the bracelet from his wrist and offering it to Casey, Captain Mosley thinks, “Man, you have no idea.” He instructs his FO to make their announcement from the flight deck then adds, “I’ll tell you about him.”

Achievement despite adversity The story of struggle, perseverance and success starts with the captain’s grandfather, John Sr., born in 1864. As a young man, the elder Mosley left Missouri for Denver in search of opportunity. As a child, he was fascinated by the railroad – a passion that grew as he walked along the tracks gathering coal to supplement his family’s supply. In Denver, already a young widower, he was hired for the esteemed yet arduous job as a Pullman porter. (Pullman cars were railroad sleeping cars that operated like hotels. Pullman porters were the onboard attendants who served the passengers.) The senior Mosley remarried, had children and provided the stability and foundation for his family to flourish despite segregation and prejudice. His eldest son, who carried his name, was born in Denver in 1921. By John Jr.’s final year in high school, he was a Merit Scholar, valedictorian of his class and had been imbued with the importance of the struggle for civil rights. In the face of adversity and racial prejudice, Pullman porters had created the first labor union for African Americans, helping shape the modern civil rights movement. John Jr. had grown up understanding its importance and was a witness to the constant struggle toward gaining rights in hopes of someday achieving equality. John Mosley, Jr.’s fondest desire for his future was to become a veterinarian but segregation closed that door. John began his first year of college just as Europe was going to war. Having been an accomplished athlete and scholar in high school, John attended Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now Colorado State University). Because of segregation, John was one of only nine African American men to attend A&M and was not permitted to live on campus. His roommate and life-long friend, Charles Cousins, was also the son of a Pullman porter – another who had grown up understanding the struggle. John continued to excel in college; was the first African American to play football for the team, becoming an honorable mention All-American, the first African American to play in the Big Seven Conference, he wrestled for the collegiate team and was the first African American to win a regional wrestling championship. Beyond his athletic accomplishments in college, Mosley was academically and socially successful. He was elected vice president of his junior and senior classes at Colorado A&M – accomplishments nearly unthinkable in a time when segregation was the norm.

And, he dared to fly! In preparation to join the elite flying unit of Tuskegee, Mosley paid for his own flight physical and started taking flying lessons while in college. Despite becoming a pilot, upon graduation from A&M in 1943, he was rejected as an airman for the all-black 99th Fighter Squadron that had been established at Tuskegee in June, 1941. He had failed the physical due to a heart murmur, a diagnosis he believed to be spurious. So, instead of being sent to Tuskegee, he was assigned to a segregated artillery unit, but he declined to go. The disappointment of not being assigned to fly propelled him to write letters to Congress and to the White House. Eventually, as the war in Europe was ending, he was given the right to join the airmen of Tuskegee and become a pilot in the historic flying unit of the Army Air Corps. Of this struggle, he often said, “I had to fight for the right to fight.” Mosley married his high school friend, Edna, in 1945 and transitioned to civilian life from the Army Air Corps in 1946, but he maintained his commission as a first lieutenant in the Air Reserve. He earned a master’s degree in social work in 1948 while he worked for the YMCA organization in Denver and Kansas City, Missouri until he was recalled to active duty in 1950. His second stint in the military, this time in the new Air Force, provided a variety of staff and

combat operational positions in Europe, Southeast Asia and stateside before his retirement in 1967 as a lieutenant colonel. After retirement from the military, he continued to serve his country in the U.S. government in a variety of honorable positions with responsibility. For a time, he was in Washington, D.C. as a special assistant to the undersecretary in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services). He remained perennially active in the fight for equality, dedicating time and energy to civic and professional organizations. Throughout his life, Mosley was a persistent force for civil rights and opportunity for African Americans. His wife, Edna shared his passion and devoted her life’s work to the struggle for civil rights, too. She was a key staff member of the Civil Rights Commission of Colorado, and one of her protégés is Denver’s current mayor, Michael Hancock. Mrs. Mosley was instrumental in launching the very successful Women’s Bank to help women procure loans to start businesses in the 1970s and 1980s. The four children John and Edna had together couldn’t help but be influenced by such accomplished, dedicated visionaries.

nce a Tuskegee Airman, O always a Tuskegee Airman Opportunity was Mosley’s life’s work — making it for himself and countless others. While affiliated with the YMCA, he began The Swoop Club to introduce young people to flying and to foster enthusiasm for careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Furthering the theme of mentoring youth, he helped found the Denver chapter of Tuskegee Airman International (TAI). As a national association, the alumni of the Tuskegee Airman, and those who participate in TAI have dedicated their organization to recognizing the immeasurably valuable service these brave men contributed to the war effort and to their role in advancing civil rights. Today, TAI offers programs to introduce young people of all ages to aviation and science by providing scholarships. They also bestow the Tuskegee Airman Award upon deserving high school cadets who are in the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AF JROTC) program. “I take great comfort knowing that my father’s perseverance and positive outlook continue to inspire not only me and my family – but so many others. I wear this bracelet to honor him and to always remind me of the meaning and purpose he gave to his life – and mine. I had four others made; for my twin sons who are Air Force officers,

THE GRID

Regional Airlines

he following pages contain over 30 different contractual comparisons for 22 separate regional airlines. Almost all the data was collected from each individual airline’s contract. Our goal is to provide you with the most current, up-to-date data so that, as a pilot, you can choose the right airline for you. Every pilot looks for something different from the airline they work for. Whether it’s living in base, maximizing your pay, or chasing that quick upgrade, we will have the most latest information. To do this, we are working with the airlines to ensure this data is current and correct. Good luck and fly safe!
