After visiting over 130 airline operations control centers and working with 350+ airlines since 2002, I've come to a startling conclusion: the airline industry is stuck in a time warp, and not the fun Rocky Horror Picture Show kind. Picture this: It's 2024, and while you're booking your flight on a sleek smartphone app, behind the scenes, airlines are running on IT systems old enough to be your grandparents. One US airline's system could legally retire, another US airline's IT is experiencing a midlife crisis, and other US, European and Asian airlines might as well be powered by hamsters on wheels. But why change? After all, nothing says 'reliability' like a system that predates the moon landing, right? When disruptions hit, it's like watching a game of high-stakes whack-a-mole. Ops controllers juggle more screens than an octopus with ADHD, desperately seeking that one crucial piece of info hidden in the digital haystack. Meanwhile, management's go-to move? Blame the weather, ATC, or perhaps Mercury in retrograde. Anything but admitting their tech is older than most of their pilots' first solo flights. The irony? Airlines spend fortunes on planning optimization, crafting schedules so perfect they'd make Michelangelo weep. Then reality hits, and it all goes out the window faster than you can say 'delayed due to technical issues.' But hey, why fix what's (barely) working? Change is scary, especially when you've hired an army of system loyalists who'd rather wrestle a live bear than question the status quo. So next time you're stuck in an airport, watching the departure board light up like a Christmas tree of delays, remember: somewhere, in a dimly lit room, there's an overworked ops, crew and hub controller trying to save the day using #technology that remembers the Cold War. Welcome to the airline industry, where the only thing not taking off is progress. #leadership #aviation #innovation #airtravel

In January, a door plug issue on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 led to increased scrutiny and a second grounding order from the FAA. This situation prompted Boeing to address the problem and improve their safety and quality practices. Boeing has developed a comprehensive Product Safety and Quality Plan to tackle these challenges. Key actions in the plan include: 1. Enhanced Safety Management System (SMS): Boeing is improving its safety reporting system and ensuring all work is completed before moving aircraft to the next production stage. 2. Simplified Processes: The company is streamlining its procedures to make them clearer and easier to follow. 3. Better Supply Chain Oversight: Boeing is intensifying its monitoring of suppliers to ensure parts meet safety standards. 4. Expanded Training: Additional training is being provided to new and existing employees to boost their skills and knowledge. 5. Improved Production Compliance: Boeing is focusing on key areas like debris control and adherence to work instructions, with enhanced daily reviews and audits. 6. Increased Employee Engagement: Boeing is fostering a stronger safety culture through regular quality reviews and involvement teams. 7. Refined Installation Instructions: The company is simplifying complex work instructions to improve safety and clarity. The FAA has reviewed Boeing’s new plan and expressed confidence in the company's commitment to safety. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has decided to work from Seattle to stay close to production and development efforts. These steps position Boeing to enhance its safety practices and restore its reputation in aviation. #aviation #aircraft #boeing #airbus #mro #airline #overhaul #FrontierAirlines #TravelDeals #AviationNews #AirlineIndustry #TravelMore #FlightDeals #LowCostTravel #ExploreMore #MRO #Wanderlust #CheapFlights #EngineAviation #BusinessTravel #VacationMode #Traveling #AirportLife #JetSetter

https://lnkd.in/gQ8w3GYF Interesting read from the CES opening ceremonies. My takeaways…. Delta wants in on the design of nextgen aircraft models. Do you remember Lenny and Squiggy because I visualllize them in a Delta hat saying, “HELLO AIRBUS!”….actually I joke - that will be beneficial for both sides…having been a small part of a similar process when the 767-400 was created. The passenger connected experience will continue expanding with TV like we have at home and the ability to have an Uber or Joby ordered and waiting for me upon landing or to head to the airport via the Delta APP. Hmmm, I wonder if I can get one of those new tasty cheeseburgers on those rides as well? It reads like Delta Reservations will be boosted to add an AI hosted front end product in the future……just don’t lose the personal touch Delta....a phone call to Delta Res has been very helpful so many times in my traveling history. I’d hate to loose that when I talk to the Delta version of Siri or Alexa… But the “fello’fly—pairing flights in the style of migrating geese—slated to occur in the second half of 2025”, - now that sounds very interesting. I’m assuming that’s going to be trialed in Delta’s wide bodies (A350 and maybe A330s) in the NAT making crossings closer together to obtain operational benefits flying in each other slipstream/vortices? Like see that one in action as well as the avionics products the flight crews use to see and manage distances from one another. I’d hope Capt Watt’s Turb-Detection is part of that package to measure and manage and report the ride…if you know..you know. Sounds like some very creative and exciting times in the airline world and congrats on the 100-year anniversary Delta.

Throughout my career, visionary thinking has been the compass guiding me toward meaningful growth and impactful change. Whether it’s building innovative marketing strategies, shaping industry-leading brands, or creating opportunities for the next generation, I’ve always believed in looking beyond the immediate and imagining what’s possible. One example I’m especially proud of is the development of programs like the ATSG Aviation Camp. What started as an idea to inspire curiosity and open doors for young people has grown into a transformative initiative, fostering new talent and bridging the gap between dreams and reality in aviation. Visionary thinking isn’t just about big ideas; it’s about action. It’s about taking risks, challenging norms, and leading with purpose. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to do just that, and I look forward to continuing to innovate and inspire in the years to come. How has visionary thinking shaped your career or life?

A Lesson in Humility, Growth, and Communication in Leadership One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my career came from an unexpected source: a manager who initially was the most challenging I had ever worked with, but ultimately became one of the best. Early in my career at Boeing, I held an exciting position in the Training Organization, traveling globally. Wanting to broaden my experience, I transferred to a new team under a different manager. My first meeting with this manager, however, left me uneasy. Despite our scheduled meeting time, he arrived late, and his demeanor was dismissive—making me feel more like an interruption than a valued team member. Once I joined the team, our professional relationship was difficult. Communication was strained, and the work environment became stressful. Despite these challenges, I stayed focused on gaining the experience I had sought. The turning point came unexpectedly. One day, after delivering a series of orders in a brusque manner during a meeting in my office, he called me back into his office later that afternoon. Anticipating a confrontation, I went prepared to defend myself. Instead, he surprised me. He began by saying, “I’d like to apologize for the way I spoke to you earlier.” He acknowledged that my body language had conveyed my frustration, even though I had remained professional and respectful during the interaction. He admitted he had interrupted me and failed to allow clarifying questions, which he realized was unproductive. Then he said something that left a lasting impression: “I am sorry.” That moment of humility completely shifted the dynamic between us. I thanked him and suggested we discuss how we could improve our communication moving forward. Over the next hour, we openly shared perspectives, committed to listening without interruption, and even documented a mutual plan for effective collaboration. From that day forward, our relationship transformed. We worked together seamlessly and built one of the most productive and rewarding partnerships I’ve ever experienced. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about humility, growth, and communication—qualities that are essential to effective leadership. As I advanced in my career at Boeing, I often shared this story during interviews to illustrate how resolving conflict and fostering mutual respect can turn challenging situations into opportunities for success. In the end, the takeaway is clear: Treat your team members—and everyone you interact with—with humility, professionalism, and respect. When people feel valued, they will go above and beyond to contribute to shared success.
