NEW YORK, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- FltOps.com will team with the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF), to present the next in its series of pilot safety symposiums and job fairs, on Saturday, November 21, at the New York-LaGuardia Airport Marriott.
At a time when the public is questioning attention to safety, one of the primary purposes of the event is to remind pilots of their time-honored obligations to safety as well as instill those ethics in the next generation pilots. The conference examines the proposed new flight/duty regulations. Coming regulatory changes will strictly define pilot duty times, rest periods and minimum qualifications leading to improved safety and increase pilot staffing.
FltOps.com estimates that it would take only 90-120 days for the feeder carriers to absorb the 1,200 pilots who are now on furlough status. Pending economic recovery, major airlines could be in an expansive hiring mode within two years, which will pull more pilots from the feeders. A reflection of the importance of these trends is the fact that FltOps.com is now teaming with FSF for its symposiums and job fairs.
"We are honored to have the FSF as a major sponsor of our next pilot job fair and safety conference, at which the ethics of safe flying will be a principal theme," said Louis Smith, president of FltOps.com.
"We are promoting a safety culture because the industry is serious about improving safety and establishing the safety mentality even in future aviation professionals, many of whom will be attending the symposium," said FSF's President Bill Voss, who will speak on pilot ethics. "They represent the future of the industry and should have access to all of the foundation's expertise, as they embark upon their academic work in this exciting field."
The agenda is at http://www.fltops.com/jobs/. Other presentations include:
The Screening and Selection of Pilots with the Right Stuff: A panel discussion on the latest screening and testing methods being used to select pilots.
Choosing The Safest Primary Training: A flight-training professional will advise students and parents on the key safety attributes to look for when visiting prospective flight schools and aviation universities.
Pilot Applicants with Issues What are the Limits?: Moderated by Judy Tarver, FltOps.com V.P. of Pilot Career Services, this panel will discuss the implications of how safety incidents can affect a pilot's career.
Joining the Flight Safety Foundation as sponsors of the event are Career Pilot School, Crew Resources Worldwide, Compass Airlines, Paramount Aviation Resources Group and World Airline Services. Representatives of AirTran, JetBlue, Korean Air, All Nippon, Shenzhen Airlines and Colgan Air are also slated to attend. Aviation schools represented including Dowling College, Damos Aviation Services, F.I.T Aviation, Gulfstream Academy, Kansas State University and Southern Illinois University.
