I have An Aero-Homework Assignment for Each and Every One of
You
I have gotten quite a jolt (in a really good way) out of the
responses so many of you have provided to the Ten Questions we posed a number of
days ago. The info, passion and integrity of your
responses have been inspiring... and convinced me now, more than
ever, that my plans for the Aviation Transformation Conference are
more critical than I had thought. Based on thousands of comments
and responses, there is a surprisjng amount of consensus behind the
concern that aviation REALLY is in every bit as much trouble as we
feared.
OK... aero-life sucks and much of our industry is swirling the
drain... what are we REALLY going to do about it? Well; much of
that will start to gel at the Aviation Transformation Conference,
but if you will bear with me and continue to gift me with your
insights and opinion, I can better craft an event that can
seek YOUR answers and help build YOUR future in flight.
That being the case, I'd like to hit you with two more
questions... and I'd like you to give them serious thought and
consideration in your responses to ANN. These two questions bear a
close relationship with those we've asked earlier but we want to
quantify your responses as a specific subset of these two
quandaries... and I think you'll find it a most interesting
exercise.
First Question... and please be specific and detailed with your
responses... if you had to quantify and categorize the Top Three
issues keeping aviation from growing and expanding once more, what
would they be? And Why???
Second Question... We've spent a good deal of time bitching and
moaning about the problems we see with the FAA as well as many of
the Alphabet Association supposedly serving the aviation world...
that being the case, let's stop bitching and quantify what an
aviation association, dedicated to the furtherance of the community
and business of aviation, needs to do to earn YOUR support. In
other words... what should the ideal 'Aero-Alphabet Association' be
doing RIGHT NOW to help aviation get its act together? Describe
what YOU think needs to be its mission, modus operandi and
gameplan...
