Airmen’s Addresses
If you want your address available to
the aviation industry and others, you don’t have to do anything. But, if you do not
want your address made public, you need to send a letter saying so, along with your
complete name, permanent mailing address, and FAA certificate number to the following
address:
Department of Transportation, Federal
Aviation Administration, Airmen Certification Branch, AFS-760, PO Box 268872, Oklahoma
City, OK 73126-8872.

The Latest Plan to Fix the Airline
America West has always been long on
plans and short on execution. With all due respect, the three officers who are designated
to lead the latest plan have never turned a wheel on a commercial airliner. Have the
people who are supposed to carry out these plans agreed that they’re adequate and
reasonable?
Customers aren’t inconvenienced,
they’re irate. Employees aren’t resources, they’re people. This a people
business. People are important. You haven’t convinced any of the people here that
your plan is going to work any better than any previous plan. You’re going to have to
get off the ninth floor and out to the airport; you’re going to have to look people
in the eye and get on the firing line if you expect anybody to execute any of this.
You’re going to have to make people believe.
You can start with me.
That’s it for this week. The next
hotline update will be on Thursday, August 3. Thanks for listening.
