Dear readers, This has been one hell of a year in every aspect of my life. It has been filled with tremendous highs and extreme lows. 2019 has included the top four life stressers: Finally, I got my dream job, I moved into a new house with an amazing woman, I’ve faced family drama with great pain and tragedy facing the death of my mother. I’ve had her on my mind and in my heart every minute I’ve worked on this issue, so to her it is lovingly dedicated. As pilots, the way we perform our jobs is critical. Sometimes we have to carry on and endure what is going on in our lives. We compartmentalize. How we deal with the “S” in the I’M SAFE checklist (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue and Emotion) is very important. I never chose to be an “expert” on dealing with stress, but I’ve discovered that it becomes easier through each experience.
Put yourself first. What I have learned, above all, is that you must take care of yourself. It’s healthy to remove yourself from the stressful situation and do something you want, or feel you need, to do. Personally, I have been playing a lot of golf and working out this year. I have indulged my sweet-tooth but I’ve kept it in balance. I’ve also learned that it’s particularly important to ensure that you eat properly during stressful times. Your psyche is already compromised so you need your body to be ready to endure.
Treat tasks like a business. When things go bad, you still need to function. You buckle down, set your emotions aside until an appropriate time and take care of what needs to be taken care of.
Talk about it. Family, friends, counselors and/or spiritual leaders are key to keeping stress in check. Talking about what’s going on helps you relieve and release some of the stress. Being reassured that you are not alone in your feelings is so valuable. Feedback from your network of support is immeasurably important. I’ve thought of my recent stresses as I do an emergency in the flight deck – fly the plane (take care of yourself), deal with the emergency to get onto the ground safely (handle your business) and debrief (talk about it). Fly like you train, live like you fly. I probably needn’t say that I’m looking forward to this year being behind me and am looking forward to all the good that I anticipate in 2020. It will soon be upon us all. Meanwhile, enjoy the holidays, manage your stresses, focus on what’s really important and keep the pointy end moving forward. Your comments are always welcome at info@aerocrewnews.com. Fly safe,

Jet Linx & the Tutu Project Celebrate Record-Breaking Fifth Year of Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness Leading Private Aviation Company Raises Over $86,000 for the Breast Cancer Nonprofit in 2019 10 | Aero Crew News
BACK TO CONTENTS
#Dare2Tutu Jet Linx has supported The Tutu Project since 2015. Each year, the company issues the #Dare2Tutu challenge with donation match, and partners with the foundation in other ways to raise awareness and funds, including the creation of a limited-edition, jet-themed photo featuring Project founder Bob Carey alongside a Jet Linx aircraft. The photo is available throughout the month of October for silent auction at all Jet Linx Base locations nationwide.
Jet Linx, the preeminent private jet management and Jet Card membership company in the United States, and The Tutu Project, a nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to breast cancer patients, celebrated five years of partnership with a record-breaking fundraising effort, raising over $86,000 for breast cancer patient support. The Tutu Project, founded by Bob and Linda Carey in 2003, is an organization dedicated to providing financial assistance for expenses not covered by insurance and promoting awareness for breast cancer patients and their loved ones. After Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, Bob began taking photos of himself wearing only a pink tutu in public places to put a smile on Linda’s face. His playful and creative solution to providing support during difficult times quickly went viral, inspiring Bob and Linda to establish The Tutu Project.
December 2019 | 11
This year, Jet Linx introduced the Traveling Tutu, an engaging and inspiring initiative to raise funds for breast cancer patients and their families. The company sent more than 2,200 Traveling Tutus direct to its members and owners to encourage participation in the #Dare2Tutu campaign. Jet Linx then donated $20 for each photo submitted by clients using the Traveling Tutu, as well as for photos taken at any of its 18 Base locations nationwide featuring the iconic pink tutu and #Dare2Tutu hashtag.

Jet Linx Opens its New Private Terminal at Nashville International Airport (BNA) Expanded Base Location Will Accommodate Business Demand & Growth Nashville, TN – Jet Linx, the preeminent private jet management and jet card membership company in the United States, announced the grand opening of its new private terminal at Nashville International Airport (BNA). Jet Linx originally opened a terminal at BNA in 2017, but it wasn’t large enough to accommodate the rapidly increasing demand for jet card memberships as well as for the substantial growth in the number of aircraft under management in the local Jet Linx fleet. Jet Linx Nashville is the newest of the Company’s eighteen private terminals in the United States and follows the grand opening of Jet Linx New York, the Company’s private terminal at Teterboro Airport serving the greater New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area. The announcement was made by Jamie Walker, President & Chief Executive Officer of Jet Linx Aviation.

Spanning nearly 30,000 square-feet, the new hangar and members-only terminal welcomes clients with contemporary interiors designed with the spirit of Nashville in mind, featuring both modern and rustic elements. Conveniently located just eight miles from Downtown Nashville, the facility includes a private hangar, an executive lounge and a conference room decorated with rare vintage guitars from a private collection. “Our new private terminal is the embodiment of our commitment to serve the Nashville market like no other private jet company can – by delivering guaranteed national private jet services on a local scale,” said Mr. Walker. “Trey Sutter, Base Partner and CEO of Jet Linx Nashville, and the Nashville team have done an excellent job serving our local clients over the last two years, and we’re thrilled our new private terminal will further enhance the Jet Linx experience for our clients.” Said Mr. Sutter, “We are excited to celebrate the opening of our new private terminal in Nashville and offer our aircraft owners and jet card members a highly personalized and private experience. The number of clients we serve locally has grown significantly since our introduction to Music City in 2017 and we look forward to having the space to provide our Nashville clients the finest level of private aviation service in the Nashville market.” More than 170 guests attended the grand opening event of the new facility, which featured hors d’oeuvres by Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse and famed Chef Trevor Moran, formerly of The Catbird Seat. Guests were invited to explore the several aircraft available for viewing, including a Bombardier Challenger 350, Cessna Citation XLS+, Cessna CJ3 and Sikorsky helicopter. Jet Linx Nashville partner, Carlock Motorcars, displayed several luxury cars, including an Aston Martin and a Rolls Royce SUV, while Darrell Waltrip, former racing driver and notable American motorsports analyst, showcased his famous silver NASCAR (known to fans as the “chrome car”), in which he competed in the 1997 Daytona 500. Jet Linx recently announced a groundbreaking and unprecedented partnership with Forbes Travel Guide, that exclusively enables Jet Linx to implement Forbes Travel Guide’s unparalleled standards of service excellence in private aviation, as well as partner with Forbes Travel Guide in the creation of customized, proprietary Jet Linx standards of excellence. The Jet Linx Nashville team was the most recent to be trained in Forbes Travel Guide’s standards of service excellence and in the customized, proprietary standards of excellence developed by Forbes Travel Guide exclusively for Jet Linx. Jet Linx is also committed to delivering the highest safety standards in the private aviation industry, with extensive safety certifications, including IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum and Wyvern Wingman. In September, the Company held the first annual Aviation Safety Symposium at its New York Base at Teterboro Airport to share, educate and advance safety efforts in Part 135 operations, creating a forum open to the industry and furthering its role as the authority of safety standards.

Prepare to be Prepared
Tips on preparation to enhance performance and reduce stress W r i t t e n B y: J o s e p h S c h m i d t
“
Preparation prevents poor performance” is an old adage that I’m sure we’ve all heard at least once. While it is something that was ingrained in my foundation since I was a child, it wasn’t something I truly understood until I was older. What exactly does it mean to be prepared? How can we, as pilots, do everything we can to continue to be prepared for all aspects in our personal and professional lives? Regardless of the amount of experience you have, it is important to have a plan for how to achieve the goals you set for yourself. Whether you are preparing for an upcoming written exam, checkride, job interview, or simply your next flight, there are a series of steps you can take that will keep you on track to prepare for and achieve any goal.

Five Ways to Deal with Depression without Medication 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
T
he change of seasons, crossing time zones and missing home take their toll. Whatever personal reasons might be causing depressed feelings, do not ignore your emotions and try to take good care of yourself. When suffering from depression, it is important to remember that you are not the first nor are you alone. Do not hesitate to consult a medical professional for extra support (which does not mean you would have to start taking medications). There are definitely solutions available to improve your mood without medication. Following are some suggestions:
1. Make Personal Quality Time Do something enjoyable every day, even if you don’t feel like it. It may be clichÊ, but it is important to take time for yourself. It is about small, personally enjoyable things that can be done a few times a day. If you are not feeling in the mood for anything, try to make yourself do something regardless, even if it is for only five or ten minutes once a day. Focus on the moment and the action itself, without distractions. Drink a cup of tea, go for a walk, take a seat in the sun, call a friend, play your favorite music. When you are starting to feel a little bit better, keep it up and eventually expand your personal quality time. Explore other ways to boost your mood; playing sports, taking a hike, meeting with a friend, buying a gift for someone else or plan a vacation. Every positive experience, no matter how small, will strengthen your mood and ensure more balance.
2. Balanced Nutrition Eating habits can strongly affect your mood. Your brain depends on the nutrients from food for its healthy functioning. Long periods of unhealthy eating can have negative consequences on brain function. At the same time, depression can have a strong influence on a diet.

vegetables. Maintain a balanced diet to keep your body weight constant.
• You are not obliged to talk about personal problems. It can be helpful to focus on someone else and listen to their stories.
3. Exercise in Nature Though we might think that depression is purely in our brain, various studies have shown that physical exercise has a beneficial effect on symptoms of depression, and even helps prevent relapses. The brain is part of our body, after all. It might be difficult to become motivated to take action, and even avoid physical activity which can eventually lead to a negative spiral of passivity and apathy. To prevent this, it is important to start moving
• Talk with someone you trust and who can listen. This could also be a medical professional or therapist. Just as with exercise, this will certainly require some effort, especially in the initial period. • When you’re ready for it, combine exercising or other hobbies with someone who would like to join.
5. Therapy without Medication If you cannot overcome depression alone, it is

History shows us that the economy cycles through “seasons” - transitioning from economic expansions or booms (the good) into economic contractions or recessions (the bad). I believe that during times of economic contractions or recessions, controlling your emotional responses and investment decisions can be more impactful than that from decisions made during boom times. Benjamin Graham, known as the Father of Value Investing, said, “Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process.” Practically everything is intertwined with, is affected by, or has association with economic cycle. For example, economic cycles can be the rise and fall of: •
Global stock market indexes
•
Global interest rates and the respective corporate and government bond markets
•
Commodity (grain, coffee, copper, corn, oil, steel, etc.) markets
• United States Federal Reserve fiscal and monetary policies (and other sovereign government central bank policies) The list can go on and on, though you get the picture. Acknowledging economic cycles exist helps investors prepare. Remember the adage, “It was not raining when Noah built the Ark.” Investors may enjoy this approach as it may help: •
Gain clarity on how your portfolio may be negatively impacted using historical performance as a guidepost.
•
Understand those historical outcomes to see if this is within risk tolerance you can accept.
• Predetermine the rationally-derived actions or strategies you may enact BEFORE the next economic phase in the cycle may begin aimed at limiting large drawdown risks. •
Reduce the potential stress and any emotional investment decision making.
Preparing for the different “seasons” aims to reduce stress. A new study from Johns Hopkins suggests that “cumulative stress can have an outsize effect on women’s memories, pointing to a possible reason why women experience dementia and related illnesses at a much higher rate than men.” I have found investors who work through this process before determining their investment strategy often feel a higher level of comfort and experience less stress regarding their investment portfolio. This often leads an investor to have a more logical, intentional and less emotional approach to their family’s financial situation.

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the United States began its 124th month on October 1, 2019, continuing the longest-running expansion in our nation’s history based upon government data that has been maintained since 1854 or for 165 years. The second-longest U.S. economic expansion was 120 months set between March 1991 and March 2001. It may be helpful to be aware of what occurred as the markets navigated through the economy during 2000-2002. Take a moment to recall how you felt, what were your emotions and what were the investment decisions you took? For clarity, I am NOT suggesting the current economic cycle is nearing an end. Though I believe history suggests it is imperative that investors prepare for its eventual conclusion. No two market cycles are the same. History shows the drivers that fueled the bulls run and the catalyst that ends it are always different. Though investor behaviors are often the same. Many investment television personalities will have endless views on various metrics (yield curves, negative interest rates, ISMs, consumer and business confidence, etc.) telling their viewers why this or that statistic is not a good indicator. One thing I have found interesting and clear; the list of things they may tell you “don’t matter” is getting longer by the day. Benjamin Franklin said, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” If you have not prepared for the coming season, I think there is no better time than now to act. Please make time to do this now. Planning for change will not be something you will regret. Don’t be a boiling frog, immune to the slowly increased heat, not realizing you are boiling until it is too late. Only historians have the benefit of waiting for time to pass to declare a narrative for a certain time period. You don’t!

There will likely be many risks to monitor. Current risks that may be on your mind could be the US-China trade conflict, potential for Brexit without trade or political agreements in place, many global government bonds with negative yields, potential presidential impeachment, and whatever else catches your attention.
These and other risks can lead our emotions to get the better of us and override our rational side. Making decisions guided by our emotions can lead to less than ideal returns. A 2014 Vanguard study found that behavioral coaching had a larger impact on client return than any other practice, including asset location, rebalancing, spending strategies, and expense ratios.

SQUALL LINE
The New Kid in Town W r i t t e n B y: A n t h o n y L o r e n t i

ately, I’ve been asked by a bevy of first officers to talk about issues that I think are important to upgrade training. This makes me happy for various reasons. One, people are upgrading. Two, someone values my opinion. Three, and most importantly, these pilots are interested in safety. A conscientious, well-intentioned pilot is always a good thing, if you ask me. So, what do I tell them? The number-one issue to me for an upgrade pilot is weather and the knowledge and decision making that goes along with it. This should come as no surprise from the person writing under the column title, “Squall Line.” Having a healthy respect for weather is a great trait for any pilot which leads to other good things. One such thing is the desire for knowledge. The other is humility in the face of something as powerful as nature. I believe knowledge combined with humility can contribute to one’s longevity.

Your turn to use the parking brake! When you upgrade to captain, many things will change. While I won’t get into all that changes, I will say that the most pertinent issue to new captains lurks in the clouds. From the very birth of your “go, no go” decision, to the decisions you make in the air (where there is no pause button), you are the one responsible. In my opinion, your respect and knowledge of not only the science of weather but how to deal with it, becomes a most important element.

A checklist … of sorts. I’ve listed a few things here that pertain to weather in general and some more specifically that I suggest you become aware of. This list is not all-inclusive and is not to be considered my advice. Simply, it’s a list of things that I feel are most pertinent to your new frontier in the left seat. 1) Check the weather! Remember how many times as a first officer you poured over the weather map? Well, it’s all yours now. 2) Learn about the weather. Read books. 3) Learn about weather radar. Learn about weather radar.

Conversely, it can make decision making entirely difficult. When you’re fresh “out of the box,” the weather is going to be lousy constantly. Trust me. It was for all of us. You are no different.

The Who, How and Why of FlyGIRL
A girl’s dream grows into a woman’s passion for flying and helping others go after their own flying dreams W r i t t e n B y: M e r e d i t h E d wa r d s
N
atalie Kelley is a woman with a résumé full of goals, past achievements, and dreams for the future - and she is not nearly finished. Her path to adventure started as many often do; a small town, a big spirit, and a thirst for whatever life threw her way. Natalie grew up outside Nashville, Tenn. with a Navy-pilot father and a private pilot-licensed uncle who taught himself aerobatics, amazingly by reading books on the subject. Between the two men and their love of flying, Natalie was inspired to have a career in aviation herself, although it would be several decades before she pursued those dreams and began the journey to what would eventually become her greatest passion.
“My father was in the Navy - eventually flying for FedEx after his retirement from the military - and because we grew up in a small town, everyone seemed to sort of be in awe of him and thought he had such a cool job. I thought, ‘I want to do something that others can aspire to as well.’” Natalie tells me about her childhood, about growing up and getting to fly in an airplane with her uncle while he performed loops and spins, welcoming her father home from trips, and taking little hops across cities on the weekends to pancake breakfasts. “I felt like I had found something unique that really intrigued and inspired me, and I decided that one day, I’d have that too.” However, as she got older, her route to becoming a pilot was slightly diverted.
December 2019 | 37
The family business supplied enough money for Natalie to begin taking flying lessons, and she threw herself headlong into studying and practicing, excited to wake up every day and to finally follow her passion. She was able to stay close to home, taking lessons near Cincinnati, and she hit the ground running. “I knew that if I didn’t make it a solid commitment that it could all fall apart and I’d let life get in the way again.” So she stayed the course, finally making time for herself after years of devotion to her family. “It felt so good to finally do something for me, that was just mine, that I had complete control over. I almost forgot what it was like to just do something that made me happy without worrying about what would happen if I stopped playing such a role as a homemaker and branched outside of that role.” As Natalie continued in her new career path, she was drawn to the idea of helping other women go after their own dreams. And so, FlyGIRL was born. FlyGIRL is a non-profit organization created to assist After graduating from college and obtaining a degree in business, Natalie married and began her family, raising three sons and putting her own dreams on the back burner. Nevertheless, Natalie hadn’t forgotten her love of flying. “I made a bucket list, when the boys were younger, of all the things that I wanted to do in the future, whether for myself or with my family, and throughout the years, slowly but surely, things on that list were checked off,” except of course, Natalie earning her wings. As her sons grew older and became more self-sufficient, Natalie revisited that old bucket list, and after twenty years of waiting, she was determined to make her goal a reality.
women who want to pursue their love of travel and flying, whether through personal stories and pictures, access to a community of like-minded people, or with financial assistance. FlyGIRL also has its own merchandise, which Natalie created as a way to raise scholarship funding to sponsor women because, “Well, I just couldn’t find anything cute related to being a pilot, and girls like cute stuff!” Offering an array of hats, hoodies, bags, and shirts, Natalie created her logo, which is proudly displayed on each item to advertise her business, which she sells through Sporty’s Pilot Shop. “It’s hard sometimes, because you’re in a very male-dominated space, so it can be intimidating to step outside the box and try to find ways to make your presence known and be taken seriously.” Luckily for Natalie, her ambition and courage paid off. Her first scholarship was worth $5,000, and since then she
