A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T
As another year draws to a close and we enter into what is for
many a season of celebration and thanksgiving, I want to extend
my sincere best wishes to all IMPA members and their families and
friends for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2013.
My messages in The International Pilot frequently
address problems or potential threats confronting
pilots and our profession.
These are unfortunate
realities.
My year-ending message, however, is
different.
As we prepare to greet the NewYear, let us
not forget that our profession is a great one with a
rich history.
A pilot’s job is demanding and stressful,
it can be difficult and dangerous, and it can be tough
on our families.
It is not for the timid, the meek, or
the indecisive.
It carries tremendous responsibilities.
But what makes it so hard is also a big part of what
makes it so satisfying.
Pilots do
