Everyone, please join me in welcoming Alan back to the staff as additional Assistant Director of Operations working alongside Sterling. Here in recent monthes we, in operations, have become so busy even with the day to day operations that we are letting a lot of our projects go by the wasteside. Alan has agreed to come on board with us and become one of our teammembers. We are extremely happy that he accepted this position. As all of you remember, Alan was our longstanding 737 CP until just recently when he had to step down due to time contraints. Well his time contraints still stand, however I twisted his arm in to coming back to give us a hand as much as he can. Alan has always been an extremely hard worker here at DVA. Without fail, he would always have more checkrides graded and more PIREPS approved than anyone else. He is dedicated, loyal, and extremely good at what he does here, which is why we are so thankful to have him on our team in OPS.
Please welcome him back in his new role! Thanks Alan, we know you will do a great job!
