  • Westchester (HPN) Safety Day June 13

    Our Westchester Aviation Assn Safety Day for 2023 was held yesterday. I had the good fortune to run it this year, with a team of Fortune 50/100 flight department leaders to play a big role in programming and doing what we had to do to put the event on. We had 130 attendees and a full day: 3 panels, 2 individual speakers, in a pleasant venue not far from the airport. We've been working this since December and it feels good this morning. The program and a picture attached.

      I was thinking the same thing.

          Congratulations on a nice event. It has been thirty years since I last wore a tie. I am proud to be "unsuitable".

              Oddly, I thought I might get comments on the Program, rather than whether people wore ties or jackets! <G>

                Well, I was thinking of coming if you did it again, but not if I have to dress up.

                And HOW LONG have you been on AVSIG?????? ;D

                Looks good, but I see why the suits and ties. Not our level of flying.

                  Every year, the day before the NBAA Regional at HPN in June. I learned a lot from all of our speakers, and our program committee as we constructed the agenda for the day.

                    It can make more of a difference than you think. Some years ago, the Allentown area pilots held a picnic event at ABE FAA was invited to meet and greet and to put human faces on officialdom.

                    Everybody was casual, of course, it being mid-summer and a picnic. The FAA all wore suits and ties. It really isolated them and blew their chance to mingle. Rick Cremer was in charge of FAA then. I sent him a note. He understood perfectly and put the word out about such events in the future.

                      When a guy shows up in a coat and tie in northern Wisconsin, we assume he is selling life insurance.
