Dear readers, Dear Aero Crew News, September 11, 2001, is a day none of us could ever forget. Like everyone, I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the news. All were glued to televisions, confused and scared by what was unfolding before our eyes. That day is embedded in my memory as if it were yesterday. I think those of us in aviation may have experienced another layer of fear and loss that binds us still.
That was the day my first son went home from the hospital after his birth. It was the first day of a new job so I wasn’t home for my family. I remember feeling incredibly afraid for my new son, worried for his future and trepidatious about what would happen in the coming days and weeks. My little world was changing and now, the whole world seemed to collapse like those towers. My heart had a wound like the Pentagon and my mood was a bleak as the blackened earth where the third jet crashed.
Out of the smoke and ashes of our tragedy, the people of this country rose up and spoke out against the people who attacked our country and their ideology. We came together as one nation. We could use another dose of unity today ¬– without the tragedy.
We all said we would never forget. This is me never forgetting.
Fly Safely,

The Most Exciting Job And No Office Required “I didn’t want a 9 to 5 job. I wanted to do something hands-on and challenging for a living, so I thought why not become a pilot,” says Sadaf Imani, a 22-yearold graduate from the University of Oklahoma and now a pilot at Envoy’s Cadet Program. She considers this job to be one of the most exciting and rewarding in the world that also doesn’t require an office. Her office is in the skies.

The younger of two sisters, Sadaf is from Iran. She and her family immigrated to the United States in 2007 when they set foot in California. She didn’t speak English, and she was just 11 years old. It was a difficult time for her: new country, new school, new friends, new language and new culture. All the changes came at the same time, but she now realizes that “those circumstances helped me become who I am today.”
BACK TO CONTENTS
Becoming a pilot didn’t happen by chance. “My dad always wanted to become a pilot himself, as well as my grandfather. I think somehow that desire was passed on to me, but they never pressured me to do this. I was always fascinated by airplanes,” says Sadaf. “My father is excited and proud. He is vicariously living through my experiences.” While in college, Sadaf participated in an internship program at American Airlines. She loved it. She was able to see the pilot world first-hand, meet new people and fall in love with the profession that she’s about to launch for herself. She is currently an Envoy employee working as a flight instructor at the University of Oklahoma Aviation Department building flight hours. “I’m a check instructor and a professor in the skies,” says a proud Imani.
Out of the available Cadet Programs, Sadaf chose Envoy. “The training program is great, and I know a lot of pilots that I met during my internship that had come from Envoy to American. Their advice and words of encouragement validated my decision to apply to Envoy.” The future for Sadaf is sky clear. Once she completes her hours, she’ll start flying for Envoy and eventually fly for American one day. Who knows, she may share the cockpit with one of those pilots who were an example to her while she was a part of the internship program. If you’re interested in following Sadaf’s footsteps and want more information on the Cadet Program and application requirements visit envoyair.com/ cadet or contact Envoy Pilot Recruitment at 972-3745607 or envoypilotrecruitment@aa.com.

• Staying focused on our Imperatives.
PSA’s culture is a reflection of a set of values called “The PSA Way” – which is an integral part of defining who PSA is, why they do what they do and what type of talent they want working for their airline. The airline’s new culture video highlights a diverse set of PSA team members, including pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and support staff living the PSA Way – chipping in to get the job done and supporting one another at every step.
• Taking pride in our Professional Excellence and holding ourselves and others accountable.
12 | Aero Crew News

ExpressJet’s expanded United flying takes off in October
E
xpressJet will launch its expanded United Express flying in October. In July, the airline announced that United Airlines had signed on for 20 CRJ200s, in addition to its fleet of more than 100 ERJ145s. The first four CRJs will enter service in early October, followed by another four aircraft in late October. The fleet will continue increasing until all 20 CRJs are in service by early 2019. ExpressJet’s CRJ flying will be based out of ORD, with some routings also taking the fleet through IAD. The airline will support the CRJ fleet at its ORD, CLE, RIC and TYS maintenance locations.
The addition of the CRJ to ExpressJet’s United Express fleet supports the airline’s strategy to strengthen its long-time partnership with United. In addition, ExpressJet pilots enjoy a direct path to United through the Pilot Career Path Program (CPP). The United CPP guarantees eligible ExpressJet pilots participation in United’s hiring process and, once accepted into the program, the expectation that they will become a United pilot. Through the program, United has committed to hiring a sizable portion of its new-hire pilots directly from ExpressJet. ACN

I’ve lost My iPad W r i t t e n B y: M i k e D av i s
I
don’t know about you, but I spend an inordinate amount of my time keeping track of both my iPad and iPhone. With most of the U.S. carriers using iPads for the pilot electronic flight bag, (EFB) the chances of one of us having our company iPad lost or stolen is very high. (In this article, the terms iPad and EFB are synonymous for company-issued devices.) Procedures for lost/stolen company EFB’s vary slightly from company to company, so I’m going to cover a few common-sense suggestions for you to follow if you carry a company iPad and suddenly discover that it is missing.
First, if you suspect your EFB has been lost, stolen or simply misplaced, it’s important that you take action right away. Do you remember the little lock symbol from your last ground school or computer learning? It’s usually accompanied by a statement similar to this:
16 | Aero Crew News
“This device contains Sensitive Security Information that is controlled under 49 CFR. Unauthorized release may result in civil penalty or other action.” The FAA, TSA, and your airline are serious about the information that is stored on your EFB, and you should take immediate steps to ensure that information isn’t distributed to those who do not have a “need to know.” Immediately, call your IT department and/or chief pilot. Unfortunately, they probably have an abundance of information on this topic because they deal with it every day. If you feel the iPad was stolen, obtain a police report. If you lost the iPad, contact airport lost-and-found. Another idea is to call the airline manager for that airport and kindly ask that he/she keep an eye open for your iPad. (One tip: After having lost my iPad, I learned how important it is that the iPad be easily identified. I applied a big yellow LOGBOOK sticker on mine.) In most cases, after contacting your chief pilot and/or IT department, company information will be wiped from the device, but that’s not the end of the story.
BACK TO CONTENTS
Many of us, unless prohibited by the airline, keep personal applications and data on our company owned iPad. If you have your own data on the EFB, there are several steps you can take to make sure your data does not fall into malicious hands. If you own an iPhone, or if you have another colleague’s iPad available, try the Find My iPhone app. You’ll need your Apple ID and password, but once the application launches, you should be able to locate your EFB (if it is online). If you just left it in the crew room or at Starbucks, you should be able to retrieve it quickly and easily. On the other hand, if you see your iPad icon moving quickly down the interstate or being dropped at a mall, more drastic actions will be needed to protect your data. Apple’s “Find My iPhone” comes with three options when you lose your iPad. Of note, it works equally well if you use an iPhone. Play Sound: If you think you’ve lost your EFB, give it a shot and click on the Play Sound button. This will cause your iPad to issue a ringing gong-like sound. Hopefully, if it’s fallen behind your first-class seat during a deadhead, someone will hear it and rescue your device. Long shot? Yes, but worth a try. (Oh, and the first-class seat reference was humor.)
Lost Mode: Entering Lost Mode does four things: 1. Locks your device with a passcode so no one can access your data. (Most airlines require that it always be protected with a code.)
2. A message will be displayed on your device’s screen providing contact information to whomever may have it. 3. The EFB will not show alerts or play notification sounds for calls, messages, etc. 4. Most importantly, your Apple Pay cards will be suspended. Erase iPhone: When all else fails, you’re ready for the nuclear option. Using Erase iPad/iPhone will erase all your data the next time the EFB is opened and connects to either Wi-Fi or a cellular network. The iPad is returned to factory default. If you do get your iPad returned it is simple to restore it from your Cloud backup. Having backup turned on will ensure you recover your data. In my case, my iPad was turned into IAD lost-and-found, and I was able to retrieve it. By that time, my company had erased all company material, and I had used the erase option in Find My iPhone. The good news is that it only took a couple of hours to restore everything to working order. My next action was to order a bright red cover to make it easy to spot my EFB. ACN

I
nevitably, when anyone asks what I do for a living, their reaction to my response is always something along the lines of, “Wow, that’s so great! It must be so thrilling to travel the world!” Being an airline employee certainly has its perks, but only if you use them. A pilot’s schedule can be quite exhausting at times, typically traveling between different cities, states, time zones, and even continents – all in just a few days. For many pilots, the last thing they will want to do, when they finally obtain their precious time off, is willingly step aboard an aircraft headed somewhere other than home. Call me crazy, but that definitely does not describe me. I’ve had the unbelievable privilege to not only have the resources to travel on my time off, but the opportunity to do so with relative ease, without breaking the bank. As each airline has its own set of rules and policies associated with employee pass travel, or “non-revenue travel,” it can be quite confusing to understand the nuances and really take advantage of the various tools available. In this article, I’ll discuss a few of the differences between what is available to you as an airline
20 | Aero Crew News
employee here in the United States, and also how that experience may differ for crewmembers – pilots and flight attendants. In general, it is always better to travel “on your own metal,” meaning on your own airline! Every flight has an associated “standby list,” which is always ranked in one way or another. Revenue passengers, or paying customers, are always on the top of the list. There are myriad reasons why a paying passenger may be attempting to fly standby on a particular flight, but for this article, I’ll stick to the non-rev experience. After all the revenue standby passengers have been accommodated, if seats still remain available, they are generally awarded to pass riders in seniority order – to whomever has worked at the company the longest. An example: A flight from JFK to LAX has three seats available, but four employees are on the standby list. The employee who has been with the company the longest would be first on the standby list, as ranked by “date of hire.” The gate agent would then award the seats in this order, theoretically leaving the last person on the list at the gate, without a seat. To my knowledge, this is true for most of the larger airlines BACK TO CONTENTS
in the U.S., with the exception of American Airlines and JetBlue Airways. These airlines use a system based on time of check-in, not to length of time working at the company. To obtain the highest priority on the list, an employee would check-in exactly 24 hours prior to departure time. This electronic record is then kept and updated each time a new standby traveler checks-in. This can be a significant advantage for newer employees who have the same chance of getting a seat as someone who has been with the company for 40 years, provided the newer employee checked-in earlier than the employee with longer tenure. Now, to complicate matters further, some airlines give their employees an annual fixed number of “vacation passes,” or passes that award the employee with a higher priority for that flight. Clear as mud? We’re not done yet! Flying on your own airline has significant advantages, aside from priority. In almost all cases, airline employees can travel with their own airline domestically for free, and on international flights, only having to pay the taxes. In January 2017, I flew round-trip from Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africa nonstop, for a total of $55. Quite the deal wouldn’t you say? Especially since the flight back to the U.S. was in first class! After all “company” standby travelers have been accommodated, the remaining seats will go to passengers who are flying under a “ZED fare,” another tool airline employees have to get to where they need to go. ZED, for “zonal employee discount,” fares are standby tickets issued to airline employees for a flight that is not affiliated with the company for which the traveler works. Another type of reduced fare employee standby travel is “ID90” which, in theory, gives employees a 90% discount on the fare for that route. These types of arrangements vary greatly from airline to airline, but can be extremely useful for traveling the world. Let’s say your intended final destination is in a city that is not served by your airline. With ZED fares, you are not out of luck! You can simply fly standby (at a very low priority) on another airline that flies to your destination. However, as I said before, it is always better to travel “on your own metal.” As fantastic as ZED fares can be, very full flights and long standby lists will mean your chances of getting a seat can be extremely low, but the discount you receive can greatly make up for the self-induced stress of flying on a ZED fare. When all else fails, if you are a pilot or flight attendant (and in some cases, a dispatcher), you have the special privilege of using “jumpseat,” agreements. Again, like
ZED or ID90 fares, these types of arrangements can vary greatly from airline to airline, and international flights can introduce new rules and policies as well. I’ll focus on the pilot side of things, as that is my area of expertise. Large transport aircraft generally have a minimum of 1 observation seat, also known as the “flight deck jumpseat.” While the flight deck jumpseat(s), is designed for training and examining, purposes, I’d argue that it is primarily used by pilots either going to and from work, or for those who are just trying to hitch a ride, off-duty, when there are no other seats available on the aircraft. In the U.S., in order to sit in a flight deck jumpseat, the pilot must have his or her information in an electronic database called “CASS,” or Cockpit Access Security System. These new policies were introduced following the attacks of September 11 to increase overall security in the flight decks of airliners. Just like the standby list for seats in the passenger cabin, the flight deck jumpseat can also have a priority order if there is more than one pilot requesting access for a particular flight. The rules for priority for the jumpseat can greatly vary from airline to airline, similar to the priority for seats in the cabin. But as a general rule, a pilot employed by the company operating the flight will have a higher priority than one from another airline attempting to hitch a ride. This is also the case when discussing the rather complicated world of the U.S. regional airline system, where many different airlines operate and do business under “express,” or “connection,” brands. With all these tools available to you, how could you not want to explore every nook and cranny of the world? Successfully flying standby sure can be a daunting task. It’s a bit like playing the lottery. You have to be lucky, especially if you are trying to fly with friends or family, but it can be incredibly worthwhile. Since January 2016, I’ve had the incredible honor to visit 15 different countries, and countless cities, all for less than the cost of a single ticket to Europe! Wherever your journeys take you, I wish you great success and many fun memories. ACN

Wildfires In California Make Insurance Harder To Get W r i t t e n B y: T r a c y D u C h a r m e
W
ildfires are blazing throughout the state of California, with more than 10,000 people under mandatory evacuation as their homes remain under threat. But, as firefighters work on the containment of at least 11 wildfires that continue to burn throughout the state, the California Department of Insurance is already warning homeowners about the insurance headaches they will likely face, even for those whose homes weren’t affected in the latest fires. The increasing number and severity of wildfires will likely make it more difficult for homeowners in the state to find and hold on to insurance, the California Department of Insurance warns.
22 | Aero Crew News
California Insurance Commissioner, David Jones, told the Associated Press that more insurance companies may choose not to renew policies, or may stop writing homeowners policies in areas with the highest fire risk. He also says homeowners in the state should be prepared to face rate increases. Also, some portions of the state may be reclassified from safe to high-risk for wildfires that could raise costs for homeowners in those areas. In 24 California counties with the highest fire risk, the number of non-renewals from homeowners insurance rose 15 percent from 2015 to 2016, according to the Department of Insurance. In 2016, insurers dropped more
BACK TO CONTENTS
than 10,000 policies in those high-risk counties. For homeowners who are dropped, they’ll likely pay more and go through nontraditional channels, such as surplus lines or California’s FAIR plan, which often provides only basic coverage. “More and more homeowners who cannot afford insurance may decide to go uninsured, risking their life savings and ultimately seeking relief from federal and state governments,” warns a Department of Insurance report. Wildfires were blamed for causing about $12 billion in insurance claims last year, the highest ever on record. This year, that number will likely be higher, state officials caution. An estimated 3.6 million homes in California are located in a “wildfire urban interface,” one million of which are categorized “high” or “very high” for risk of fire. This has
caused many Californians to examine the benefits of moving out of the state. There are many cities commutable to California airports that offer lower taxes, more affordable housing and reasonable homeowners insurance. Aviation Relocation offers a loan program specifically designed for pilots and other aviation professionals which allows you to apply for the loan based on estimated future income. You are able to buy your new home up to 90 days prior to your contracted future pay increase. We have affiliates in all 50 states to assist you with your home buying and selling processes. ACN

MONEY
Know the Limits of your 401(k) W r i t t e n B y: G l e n n N e v o l a
A
fter the airlines terminated their traditional pensions, the unions were able to negotiate increased contributions into pilots’ 401(k) plans. The highest contributions by any airline company are currently at 16%, which is extremely high. Ask those working in the private sector what their company contributes and you’ll learn that most top out at 6%, which only applies if the employee contributes. Due to the higher funding by the airlines into 401(k) plans, there is a chance you could reach the combined annual limit, (your contribution plus your company’s contribution) called the 415c limit of $55,000, or $61,000 if you are aged 50 or older. Obviously, the more years you have to work and your ability to reach these higher limits will mean a significantly higher potential value of your account upon retirement.
24 | Aero Crew News
There are three limits you should understand with reference to your 401(k). They are the employee limit, the overall limit (415c limit) and the compensation limit (401a17 limit). The limit values for 2018 are:
Employee – $18,500 below age 50, $24,500 age 50 and older
Overall 415c limit – $55,000 below age 50, $61,000 age 50 and older
Compensation 410a17 limit – $275,000
BACK TO CONTENTS
The employee limit is pretty straightforward. You choose a percentage of your salary, either pre-tax or Roth1, and your company deducts this monthly for deposit into your 401(k) account. If you’d like to reach the maximum, divide the employee limit by your annual salary to arrive at a percentage. The overall 415c limit is a combination of employee and employer contributions and cannot exceed the values above. The more salary you make, the higher the company contribution is, resulting in a higher amount flowing into your account from this source. The “breakeven” salary is about $229,000 per year. Meaning, if you make this salary and contribute the maximum from the employee side, the math works out that in December, you’d reach the 415c limit if your company contributes 16%. The compensation 401a17 limit means that the IRS will not allow additional company contributions into your 401(k) once you reach this compensation level. The employee may still contribute from their side, however. Understand that these numbers are maximums and you will likely need to be at one of the major airlines for a
while before you can hit them. But this could be your future should you find yourself at an airline continuing up the salary ladder.

Reduce Chronic Back Pain How to Improve Core Stabilization
Writ ten B y: L auren Dil s
A
s flight crew members, the more tenure in our profession we accumulate, the more perspective we gain. One unescapable realization we come to is the health consequences of long term sitting. Recent scientific data suggests that sedentary lifestyles have similar deleterious effects as smoking. The cumulative effects of sitting can wreak havoc on our backs, create muscle imbalances and affect the entire musculoskeletal system/kinetic chain (the combination of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems).
If your muscles are not working together properly, dysfunction will show in your movement patterns. This can lead to injury and/or pain simply from daily movements which may lead to tissue overload causing damage when performing exercises. For example, individuals suffering from chronic low back pain, often do not activate core muscles properly or to the extent they should, and therefor do not have proper stabilization endurance. If traditional core and low back exercises are
28 | Aero Crew News
performed without stabilization muscles being activated, the movements will most likely lead to injury. Strengthening intrinsic core muscles (ISS – Intrinsic Stabilization Subsystem) through sustained contractions improves muscle activation (intramuscular coordination) and in turn helps stabilize the Limbo Pelvic Hip Complex, often helping to relieve the spine of the forces placed on it during movement. What this means for you is the ability to maintain an exercise routine without being sidelined by injuries, which create roadblocks to maintaining or improving your fitness. Check out these three simple flexibility and strength exercises that can be done every day this week and make a world of difference! These movements can be done in the comfort of your hotel room or in any gym. Refer to the videos below.
BACK TO CONTENTS
1. Draw-In Maneuver: -Start on all fours with your knees under your hips and your hands under your shoulders. -Maintaining a neutral spine (no arching or dipping of the back) Draw your belly button toward your spine. -Hold for 6-20+ seconds. Relax for 10 seconds and repeat. -Keep in mind that this exercise involves little or no movement through the spine and pelvis. If you feel your spine arching or rounding, reassess your form. (See it done expertly here: https://youtu.be/pqt1NcbH-GA)
2. Hip Flexor Stretch: Kneeling: -Kneel on one knee and put one foot on the floor in front of you with both knees bent at 90°. -Pull your belly button toward your spine as you rotate your pelvis back (posteriorly) and squeeze your butt on the side being stretched (knee on ground). -Maintain that pelvis position and buttock squeeze as you move your body forward until you feel a stretch and maintain this position. -To take the stretch deeper raise your arm, rotate your torso slightly outward and side bend slightly, bringing you into more of a posterior tilt. -Hold 20-30 seconds or up to one minute, then switch sides and repeat. Standing:
-To take the stretch deeper, raise your arm on the same side as your back leg, rotate your torso slightly outward and side bend slightly bringing you into more of a posterior tilt. -Hold 20- 30 seconds or up to one minute then switch sides and repeat. (See both kneeling and standing hip flexor stretches here: https://youtu.be/7qEmHgibCFk )
3. Bridge -Lie face-up on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Toes should be shoulder width apart and pointing straight ahead. -Arms to your side with palms down. -Pull your belly button to your spine and activate your glutes by squeezing your butt. -Lift your pelvis off the ground until your body is makes one line from knees through hips to shoulders. Do not go too far leading to an arched/hyper-extended back. -Slowly lower your pelvis to the floor while keeping your glutes engaged. -Repeat for a total of 12-20 repetitions. -Rest and repeat 1- 3 more times as your strength increases and/or you are better able to engage glutes. (See the exercise here: https://youtu.be/3c0jtmKoIs4 ) Challenge yourself this week and see if you notice the difference. And remember, it takes time for a behavior to become a habit. Work to increase your core stabilization until it becomes a habit and you will recognize and appreciate the rewards. ACN
-Step forward/back so you are in a split stance. Bend forward leg slightly. -Pull your belly button toward your spine as you rotate your pelvis back (posteriorly) and squeeze your butt on the side being stretched.

CONTRACT TALKS
Does Your Pilot Contract Offer You A Reasonable Quality Of Life? W r i t t e n B y: B r a n d o n J i m e n e z
Y
ou’ve just accepted your sign-on bonus offer with your new airline and now you’re ready to begin the primary stages of ground school. After ground school, the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) arrives for a visit to communicate about the contract, treats the fresh new hires to lunch, and your feel your life is good. Isn’t it? The terms of your contract impact your quality of life now that your with your new airline. While airlines need to take care of their profits, they also need to take care of their pilot group. And we have various unions (e.g. ALPA, Teamsters, etc.) to make certain the pilot group is

treated in a satisfactory manner. You might wonder what is the meaning of “quality of life.” It is simply defined as how your life is while you are at work and while you’re not at work. It includes your standards of health, comfort, safety and happiness. Make sure your contract covers you in all areas of life, from commuting to work, jury duty, to death in the family. For example, if you don’t live in base, you are a “commuter.” Sounds exhilarating, but at times commuting can be hard. Imagine working a four-day trip and coming back to base, where there are no flights that depart until the next day. Such is the life of a commuter. Most U.S. regional airlines afford numerous ways to help
BACK TO CONTENTS
commuter pilots by providing hotel rooms for them while not on the clock. Terms will vary from airline to airline. One airline offers a commuting pilot four paid hotel rooms per month, preceding or following a trip. This way, a pilot doesn’t have to live in base nor pay for that many hotel rooms from their own personal piggy bank. Look at this scenario: You’ve completed your trip, come home and all you want to do is unwind. Going through your mail you discover that you have received a letter to report for jury duty. Yes! Jury duty! Your contract can protect your pay in this circumstance. One airline’s contract offers no reduction to a pilot’s pay for the first 14 days of jury duty. Thereafter, a pilot’s minimum monthly guarantee should not be reduced as a result of jury duty. This can help counterbalance expenses while receiving minimal income from jury duty. Another airline’s contract offers pilots who are required to serve jury duty to be credited a prorated guarantee based on the amount of scheduled work days in the month for each day the pilot is actively on jury duty, subtracting any money received for performing juror duties. This helps offset income that could be potentially lost while you serve the community in this capacity. While death is part of life, it can be devasting if the lost one is close to you. Your contract can protect you in these unanticipated occurrences too. It’s called bereave-
ment leave. Bereavement leave is time off due to the death of a family member, usually an immediate family member (i.e., spouse, child, parent, parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandparent-in-law, and domestic partner). Airline contracts offer protection to your paycheck should this occur. One airline offers bereavement leave absences of three consecutive days while the pilot’s minimum monthly guarantee may not be reduced. This protects your pay when life’s unforeseen and shattering events transpire. When choosing an airline don’t just consider pay. Also investigate the quality of life issues provided whether on the road and at home. Unanticipated events in life will arise. Think of Murphy’s Law: “If something can go wrong, it will” and usually at the worst possible time. Make sure your contract protects you in these situations. And always have cash in an emergency fund to carry you for three to six months. Life happens. ACN

enise Wilson, President and CEO of corporate airline Desert Jet, is notably accomplished. Twelve years ago, she founded Desert Jet, and since then, has seen booming returns on what started as a love for flying and aviation. In her teens, Denise worked summers with her mother at the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington. Her mother was among the first female engineers for Boeing who worked on many projects, including the B-2 Bomber. Denise began her journey into aviation working in the blueprint room and she was fascinated by the industry. She appreciated how all the pieces came together to form the world of aviation and its aircraft. After a trip to the Air and Space Museum in Seattle, Denise decided to pursue flying, so her mother purchased Microsoft Flight Simulator for their new home computer. Hours were spent learning the basics, and a few months later, while driving by Cable Airport, Denise noticed a sign offering demo flights for a mere $25. She began to fly as a hobby and since then has spread her wings to include a continually growing company, one that receives accolades and boasts a wonderful team of executives and staff, while she enjoys the satisfaction of helping other entrepreneurs achieve their own dreams. September 2018 | 33
What inspired you to lean towards corporate airlines, as opposed to other aviation career options? My first flying job, after becoming a flight instructor, was working for American Eagle. My fellow flight instructors only knew domestic airlines, so the world of corporate flying seemed kind of foreign at the time. No one in my circle knew much about business aviation, and I stumbled upon it mostly by accident after 9/11. I was furloughed from the airline where I was then employed, and I got a job flying a jet for a small company near the city where I lived. I loved it. It was such a different feeling, flying for someone with whom I had developed a relationship. I liked my previous flying jobs, but in this, there was no barrier between me and the passengers or the flight attendants. We could all be there together, and, in a way, it was like a family. I wanted to have a direct connection with my passengers.
How hard has it been as a woman in your position? What are some specific challenges that you’ve faced, if any? I’ve actually been really fortunate in my career. By the time I got into flying, which was in 1997, so many women had helped pave the way for me to come into this business. At that time, five percent of pilots were women, and though now it’s only six percent, we are working to help raise that number every day. Generally, I had it pretty easy. There have been slight road bumps, but nothing has really ever prevented me from achieving my goals, and the men in my life have always been very supportive.
Can you name a specific time in your career when you felt something big, something explosive, was about to happen? How did you react to that? The entire time I have been at Desert Jet, I have felt that we are constantly exploding with amazing new things
34 | Aero Crew News
and it’s been this way, nonstop for the last twelve years. Being a pilot, as opposed to being an entrepreneur, is almost mellow, in a way. And to have your own business that is always moving forward to bigger things is exciting in a way that I had never thought before. I have an awesome executive team, but it has been a long path to get our company to a point where it is not completely reliant upon me for every decision. Now our executive team runs the day-to-day of the company. We are roughly at the halfway point for Desert Jet, and without my team to rely upon, we couldn’t get through the day.
I read that you have spoken at leadership conferences pertaining to women in entrepreneurship, and that you play an active role in inspiring women to pursue careers in aviation. How do you empower BACK TO CONTENTS
For the last five consecutive years, Desert Jet has made Inc. Magazine’s 500/5000 list as one of the fastest growing companies. In what ways has Desert Jet stayed ahead of the game? Really, it has been through bringing the right people onboard. When we have the right team in place, nothing stops us. If we make a hiring mistake, it can really slow our growth. However, we really focus on picking the right people. The feedback from those who have utilized Desert Jet is almost always one of praise and satisfaction. They make note of how our team really works together to provide them with the best service. There are lots of airlines out there that hire for what’s on paper, the résumé, the flight hours, etc., but at Desert Jet, if you have the right attitude and care about the company’s values, we can teach you anything.
women in business specifically? In many different ways. I’m an informal mentor to several women who run smaller businesses in aviation. In trying to spread our influence, Chris (Little), our Chief Marketing Officer, and I just pitched a proposal to Women in Aviation to have something directly geared toward women in entrepreneurship. We want to have a support system for women who are currently in the business, but also to show other people in various areas of aviation that the sky is literally the limit – that they CAN start their own business. I think making entrepreneurship visible to more women in the industry is important, and right now, there are only three women who head aviation businesses. So, I’m trying to help raise those numbers. I really want to focus on women who aren’t fulfilled in their current careers, and to show them that they can build a career that really fits their passions and interests.
Desert Jet has several core values, but one of them, Be Extraordinary Together, really stood out to me. What does that mean for you personally and how do you keep your team focused on the positive? We took our entire team into a meeting, and we said, “Think about someone you work closely with, or within your department; what do you believe are the traits that make that person successful?” We made a long list of those traits from which we selected a few that were the most important to us. We transformed those into our core set of company values. When we hire someone, we have a sort of roadmap to show us if that person is really going to fit in with us and espouse what we are about at Desert Jet. We use our values as a foundation for everything including hiring,
September 2018 | 35
firing, promotions, raises, and rewards. We have a peer contest between the employees of Desert Jet, and the winner receives the Awesome Award. These awards are given to people whom their peers see engaging in acts that directly reflect our company’s values. The prize for winning is a $1000 gift card. At the end of the year, the person who has received the most Awesome Awards earns a free trip including a companion, to anywhere in the world they would like to go.
What are the basic requirements for pilots, and how rigorous is the interview process? What are the most important qualities that Desert Jet looks for in applicants? We are looking for good people who live our company values. Having a pilot with 700 hours or 7000 hours isn’t as important to us as having the right person on the team. If we feel like you’re going to be a great fit with us, we will train you to get you where you need to be. We aren’t hiring the person on the paper; we are hiring the very essence of that person, their soul, really. We have a minimum number of flight hours that we require, but
36 | Aero Crew News
we have hired people who didn’t meet that requirement, just because we wanted to be a part of their growth and add them to our team because of who they are. If we have pilots with lower hours, we will put them in a simulator to ensure they have the flight skills, but we are looking for people who are quick learners and who are willing to broaden their horizons – those who have an open mind, can take feedback well, and express good CRM. CRM is a highly important aspect of flying, and although it is seen a lot in the commercial aviation world, it is not as prominent in the business aviation world. We are working to change that. Many candidates express poor CRM, and that is one of the most important qualities we look for in an applicant.
What excites you the most about Desert Jet’s future? What accomplishment are you most proud of in your career? I really love people’s success, like when there is someone on our team who may feel that there is something they can’t accomplish, or they hit a road block and start to give up, but in the end, they push through and are successful. That makes me really BACK TO CONTENTS
proud. It shows that they can achieve what they set their mind to, and they have won a personal battle. I love watching our team do things that they never thought they could do. As to the future, we are still growing day by day. We are adding eight pilots to our team in the next six weeks, plus additional staff to help support the company as we continue to get bigger and face new challenges. Eventually, though we currently have cabin attendants, we are planning to add flight attendant positions, as well. We want to keep our team full of special people, but we also know we must be open to change as the company grows, and we always want to do things better than we did yesterday. I’m really proud that we have pulled together this diverse group of 50 or so people who are dedicated to the success of Desert Jet, because they recognize the impact that Desert Jet has had on them and their families in a personal way. It is a significant company and we continue to grow daily. We are an aviation company, yes – but we are about the people as well, and we just happen to be making great futures for ourselves and our families by flying airplanes. I couldn’t be more proud of that.
Our pilots enjoy the best benefits in the industry;

Regional Airlines
T
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!
