Recap Annual Flight Attendant and S&D Joint Meeting

Fifty-plus professionals from the PNBAA community gathered in May for the annual Flight Attendant and Schedulers & Dispatchers joint meeting. Each group attended role-specific interactive sessions. In the afternoon the standing-room crowd convened to hear an inspirational Scott Moore presentation on Value Based Leadership. Industry veterans and newcomers both expressed this program was time well invested. Let's plan to meet again next spring.

Thank you platinum sponsor STEVIE'S Aviation Catering, along with silver sponsors Aircare International, Air Culinaire Worldwide, Bombardier, DaVinci Inflight Training Institute, Global Aviation, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, LimousinesWorldwide.com and ONEHOPE Wine for leading the industry in supporting this program.


Welcome John Gale!


Last month the PNBAA Board of Directors appointed John Gale to fill one of two vacancies. Please join the Board in welcoming John to the PNBAA community! 


John is Senior Director of Aviation - Nike Flight, leading Nike, Inc's international flight department based in Portland. He brings a diverse operational leadership background in both business aviation and the United States Marine Corp. The Board looks forward to also leveraging his experience as a former board member of the New Jersey Business Aviation Association. Learn more about John's background on the PNBAA Leadership webpage. 


Scholarship & Grant Awards


In June the PNBAA Board of Directors awarded two scholarships of $5,000 each to graduating high school students Sameer Romani and W. Hunter Whitlock. These future aviation professionals both attended Raisbeck Aviation High School and The Museum of Flight - Aeronautical Science Pathways program. 


In the fall Sameer is headed to University of North Dakota to study Aviation Management and continue his flight training. Hunter will be attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott) to earn an Aeronautical Science degree and become a professional pilot. On behalf of PNBAA, congratulations to these students on exploring your exciting aviation future. Welcome to our community!


The Board also awarded this month a $1,000 grant to Seattle-based Aviation for Humanity, expanding PNBAA's philanthropic reach. These funds will purchase school supplies that will be distributed by business aviation operators to the developing nations.


Last month the Board made a $2,500 award to the Civil Air Patrol to support their summer youth cadet program. 


Finally, thank YOU the PNBAA community for attending and sponsoring programs plus renewing annual memberships. The culmination of these activities allow us to pay it forward.


Aviation Appreciation Month


Did you know June is Aviation Appreciation month in Washington Alaska proclaimed it in May. Last year Oregon and Idaho also declared their appreciation. Our state leaders are consistently recognizing the jobs, airports, economics and community connectivity aviation provides. The statistics are impressive with hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in benefit. Arguably Alaskans may have the best claim noting more airplanes per capita than any other state!
