Alaskan Winds Chief Pilot

It is my great pleasure to announce that AW403 Samuel Weyermann has accepted my invitation to assume the Alaskan Winds Chief Pilot position!



Several factors influenced my choice:

* Samuel's attention to other pilots' activity, cheerfully commenting each entry in the monthly logbooks. I guess you'd call it good human relations' skills!
* The fact that he is both confident and happy at the controls of a wide range of aircraft, be it a Pilatus PC-6, a Boeing 727, or a Jayhawk helicopter, also displaying knowledge of the various aircraft systems.
* And last but not least, the fact that he is a (real world) pilot - with experience in gliders and several single piston engine aircraft.

Now, you may wonder if anything is going to change, given the fact that Alaskan Winds has no mandatory requisitions of any kind:
No, nothing is going to change in Alaskan Winds current policy. All that is expected from Alaskan Winds pilots remains exactly as outlined on this page.

But Alaskan Winds has set its goal to be among the very best - and therefore we must provide the same to our pilots. I firmly believe that Samuel Weyermann qualifies. I will turn to him for help and support on future Alaskan Winds projects, and there will be many.
And I'm sure that if you ask him something within the realm of a virtual company Chief Pilot competences he will be glad to assist you.

Just remember, at Alaskan Winds we Fly! So I'm by no means asking Samuel to sit behind a desk and spend his time with paper work :) In other words, time is precious, we're all grown men (and women) with our share of real life responsibilities and we all want to enjoy this great hobby of ours!

Thanks, Samuel, my honor in having you as Alaskan Winds Chief Pilot!
