Today, I step down from Executive Vice President of Charter Operations because of my health and to make family my complete priority. In June, I experienced symptoms of a heart attack, underwent an angioplasty, and now have stents in my heart arteries. I am in physical therapy to strengthen my heart.
I will continue to be an active WestWind pilot. I am now a Director of Charters - At Large so I may contribute charters from time to time.
If you are interested in the Vice President of Charter Operations position, I believe you should contact Steve Canham, CEO, WestWind Airlines.
General Vice President of Charter Operations duties:
Remain in active pilot status

Establish policies for and manage Charter Operations
Hire, communicate with, and dismiss Directors of Charters

After taking care of my priorities, I will respond to the new VP’s questions.
I will discontinue using “wwacharters” as my email address so the new VP may use it if he wishes.
I posted a Pilot Charter Flight Report for 2008 and a Pilot Charter Hours Report for 2008 to today.
Congratulations pilots! See these announcements:
