Please join me in welcoming Don Baker to the operations team as an Assistant Director of Operations. Don has been a great asset to DVA as a pilot and as Chief Pilot of the L1011 program. Since joining in 2005' he has flown over 2300 flights and has approved thousands of PIREPS. He will continue as the L1011 chief pilot in addition to his new role in operations. Congratulations Don.
