Summary
I bring nearly a quarter of a century of aviation industry experience as a Part 121 dispatcher. Recognizing that safety is paramount, I use that as a guide in all my decision making. Working with some of the finest in the industry, I bring unmatched skills in Pre-Flight Planning, Meteorology, NOTAM Interpretation, Airfield/Ramp Familiarity and Safe Flight Following. Along side my dispatch experience, I have coordinated daily flight operations insuring an efficient and safe operation with air operations at airports around the country. I have taken this experience to MGM flight operations to help improve their already stellar operation. Recognized by numerous flight crews via interoffice "RAVE" for attention to detail, going above and beyond and instilling a sense of confidence in my flight crews and coworkers. Leaving no stone unturned will only help Solairus continue to be the best in the industry and I hope to be a part of your team.
