After 9 fine months of serving as Boeing 747 Assistant Chief Pilot, Bob Donovan is sadly stepping down. He did a great job promoting the program and also will continue to be an excellent reference for the Aerosoft Airbus software. He helped me quite often. Please join me in thank Bob for her service in this capacity. Bob is changing real life jobs and moving so he'll have quite a bit on his plate.
Taking over as 747 ACP is Vincenzo Musumeici. Vincenzo has been with DVA for 10 years and previously served in the 767 and 737 programs. We welcome Vincenzo back to staff and look forward to all that he and Josh Burr have in store for the 747 program. Welcome Vinny!
Thank you all who applied.
