Dailey received the Duran Award for Public Service at a luncheon spon-sored by Lockheed Martin during the 51stAmerican Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)Aerospace Sciences meeting at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine Jan. 7.

The award, named in honor of Dr. William F. Durand, recognizes notable achievements by a scientific technical leader whose contributions lead direct-ly to the understanding and application of the science and technology of aero-nautics and astronautics for the better-

ment of mankind.General Dailey, retired U.S. Ma-

rine Corps four star general and pilot, became director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. in January 2010. He led efforts to expand the size and scope of the museum, increasing its public outreach. Before that, General Dailey worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) where he manned the agency’s inter-nal operations as the associate deputy administrator and served on the Presi-dent’s Management Council.

Dailey was an active duty Marine 36

years with extensive command and staff experience. He has flown more than 7,000 hours in a variety of aircraft and helicopters. During two tours in Viet Nam, he flew 450 missions. Promoted to general and named assistant com-mandant of the Marine Corps in 1990, he has numerous personal decorations for his service in the Marine Corps and at NASA.

Dailey discussed how lessons from the past serve to advance future capa-bilities that meet the needs of our so-ciety that has become increasingly de-pendent on the aerospace technologies.

Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Interna-tional Airport Chief Executive Officer Jeff Fegan announced his plans to retire after 28 years with DFW Airport, the last 19 years as its CEO. Fegan announced his plans to the DFW Airport Board of Directors Jan. 10 at the monthly board meeting.

Fegan’s announcement comes with DFW the highest capacity and fourth-bus-iest airport in the world and with its $2.3 billion Terminal Renewal and Improve-ment Program (TRIP) underway to mod-ernize DFW’s older terminals.

“The strategy is in place, the course set, and momentum is strong to achieve results which will carry DFW Airport into the fu-ture,” Fegan said. “DFW is cost competitive and financially strong. The next five years and beyond will be even more exciting for DFW and the region. This seems to be the right time to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership.

“The last 28 years have been extraor-dinary, and my career at DFW has been incredibly rewarding. I am very proud to

DFW International Airport Board of Directors approved seven recommendations for concessions packages Jan. 10, culminating the latest competitive process for the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Terminals B and E Part II. The approved packages include well-known restaurants and retail con-cepts that complement the grow-ing number of consumer-preferred brands and create a sense of place with local favorites.

“These new concessions con-cepts are very exciting additions that DFW passengers will really enjoy,” said Jeff Fegan, DFW Air-port CEO. “Trusted brands and lo-cal flavor are important to our cus-tomers, and we are thrilled to add more passenger-driven concepts to

our retail and restaurant offerings. Our mission is to deliver world-class customer service and give our passengers more of what they want, and with our ongoing concessions program development, we have the opportunities to deliver on that ob-jective.”

The seven packages are part of DFW’s renewal of its concessions program in conjunction with the $2.3 billion Terminal Renewal and Improvement Program (TRIP). TRIP renovations include the allo-cation of 50 percent more space for concessions in Terminals B and E, which creates more restaurant seat-ing space and addresses projections for increasing passenger counts to 2020 and beyond.

The local, national and interna-

tional brands approved in this RFP are:

• Food and Beverage: Blue Mesa Taco & Tequila Bar, Genghis Grill, and Wendy’s

• Retail: Today/La Crème (news and coffee); Southwest News/La Crème (news and coffee), Sound-Balance, and Lone Star Attitude

One direct negotiation location in Terminal B was also approved by the Board for Smashburger, a fast casual hamburger restaurant concept that also includes chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and salads with a wide variety of toppings and customization options.

“We are confident that these concepts will be great additions for passengers,” said Zenola Campbell, vice president for concessions at

DFW Airport. “It’s really exciting to implement new restaurant and retail concepts using the input from our customers that identifies their preferences.”

“Our staff did an excellent job conducting thorough research and reaching out to the community and the industry to put forth a fair solici-tation process,” said Ken Buchanan, executive vice president for revenue management at DFW. “With these new concessions, DFW continues to demonstrate not only top notch service for our customers, but also its continuing economic benefit to the Dallas/Fort Worth community by providing new business oppor-tunities for local firms that in turn provide jobs.”

The Airport received a total of

22 proposals. Submittals were re-viewed and evaluated using a de-signed process and criteria. Two retail packages with locations in Terminals B and E will be reevalu-ated for future competitive oppor-tunities or direct negotiation.

In the coming years, DFW will conduct several more TRIP-related RFPs for concessions outlets, in-cluding additional offerings for Terminals B and E and a complete renewal for Terminal C. Opportu-nities also will be forthcoming in DFW’s International Terminal D.

Renovations to DFW’s four original terminals under the TRIP program are scheduled to be com-pleted in 2017.

On some air bases, the military is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.

One day, on just such a field, the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, “What time is it?”

The tower responded, “Who is call-ing?”

The aircraft replied, “What differ-ence does it make?”

The tower replied, “It makes a lot of difference. If you are a commercial airlines flight, it is 3 o’clock. If you are an Air Force aircraft, it is 1500 hours.

If you are a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If you are an Army aircraft, it’s about 5 hours till sunset. If you are a Marine Corps aircraft, it’s Thursday afternoon. If you are in the National Guard, it’s still a couple of hours too early for Happy Hour at the airport bar.”

A priest dies and goes to heaven. There, he is met by a reception committee, and after a whirlwind tour is told that he can enjoy any of the myriad recreations available.

He decides that he wants to read all of the ancient original text of the Holy Scriptures, and spends the next eon or so learning the languages. After becoming a lin-guistic master, he sits down in the library and begins to pore over every version of the Bible, working back from the most recent “Easy Reading Version” to the original script.

All of a sudden there is a scream in the library.The angels come running to him, only to find the priest

huddled in a chair, crying to himself, and muttering, “An ‘R!’ They left out the ‘R’.”

God takes him aside, offering comfort and asks him what the problem is.

After collecting his wits, the priest sobs again, “It’s the letter ‘R’ ... the word was supposed to be CELEBRATE!”

Take care and “I will see you in the terminals!”For more information, visit www.dfwchapel.org.

Showing again that meaning-ful and efficient civilian assistance to a population hungry for peace is possible, a citizens group made up of air cargo companies, ground transport companies, and charitable organizations led by the British Af-ghan Women’s Society delivered 5 tons of winter children’s clothing and supplies to refugee camps in Afghanistan during November of 2012.

At least 23 children under the age of five froze to death last winter in the camps in Kabul, where most families live in unheated tents. The deaths sparked an international outcry over the failure of both governments and international aid organizations to perform basic aid functions in the most secure, most easily accessible part of the country.

As the deadline for the with-drawal of American troops ap-proaches, an overwhelmingly youthful Afghan population seeks training, building materials, and job skills in order to build their lives and economy.

The project was named Deadra’s Flight after the recently deceased wife of one of the organizers, Mr. Myron D. Stokes. Warm baby hats, baby clothes, socks, mittens etc. were contributed by generous Londoners, the Afghan Diaspora, and others across the UK. Ap-proximately five tons of items were shipped across the globe through the generous donated services of the air cargo and ground trans-port companies Global HeavyLift Holdings Inc. of Bloomfield Hills, MI, Kalitta Air of Ypsilanti, MI, DHL-Great Britain, Fast Forward Freight, Belgium, and Aviapartner Belgium. Transportation was co-ordinated by Mr. Stokes of Global HeavyLift Holdings.

It is estimated that about 35,000 people are living in makeshift camps in and around Kabul. The vast majority of them are recent returnees or families fleeing the violence of the war throughout the country.

In Kabul, their lives are harsh and plagued by hunger, sickness, and lack of basic necessities. Winter brings the additional, often deadly, challenge of sub-freezing tempera-tures.

The camps, however, are a mi-crocosm of the rest of the country, where, despite over $500 billion in US military expenditures over the last ten years and perhaps $20 bil-lion in civilian assistance, Save the Children reports that 60 percent of Afghan children are chronically malnourished, and 30,000 die due to starvation every year.

And although Kabul is rela-tively secure, unemployment hovers at around 40 percent, and is even higher in rural provinces. Major in-frastructure projects such as basic, city-wide sewage and water sanita-tion projects, which could generate innumerable jobs, have not yet be-gun in earnest, even in Kabul.

As US troop withdrawal nears, analysts point to the need to ensure that generations of Afghan youth are not left idle and without hope. The projects Deadra’s Flight, and Ismail’s Flight, a similar project which preceded it, put on display an example of how private citizens can coordinate logistics and assistance to reach the neediest with little or no waste or overhead.

On the ground in Afghanistan, DHSA, Development and Hu-manitarian Services for Afghani-stan, provided critical support in getting the assistance to the most needy.

DHSA is an Afghan civil society organization, which are not part of the government, but rather consist of private Afghan citizens working to rebuild their country.

The distribution of the assis-tance was accomplished with the kind support and cooperation of the Ministry of Rural Rehabilita-tion and the Disaster Management Authority. One Afghan official said: “This is a great example of good work led by the Afghan Di-aspora just in time before winter. We welcome this and want others to follow.”

A second phase of “Deadra’s Flight”, involves a plan to bring on a monthly or quarterly basis, depend-ing on need, 3-5 Afghan children aboard USAF ICU Boeing C-17s out of Bagram Airbase with an ulti-mate destination of Luke AFB. The latter base was chosen based on the positive response from the Phoenix medical community in the forming of a Pediatric Review Team that draws from area hospitalist profes-sionals and private practice.

US authorities are being asked to permanently reserve bed space for the children on these extraor-dinarily well equipped medical air-craft flying 12 times weekly out of Bagram to Ramstein AFB in Ger-many then stateside.

“The Pediatric Review Team already has a measure of data for three children thus identified” said Global HeavyLift’s Stokes, “and I’m requesting more comprehen-sive records with the intent to de-termine the level of urgency for US transport. We already know that Abdullah, diagnosed with hydro-encephalus, is in quite serious con-dition, and is one of the children we first identified through my col-league Najim Dost in September of

last year.“As can readily be determined

from the global press releases sent out, we have been able to succeed in our relief strategies in a way estab-lished NGO’s like Amnesty Inter-national and the UN World Food Programme have not in this region, and this is perhaps owing to the dangers of operating in a war zone of atypical volatility. Nevertheless, we have reached out to these or-ganizations to advise that we stand ready to assist them in airlifting much needed relief goods to a peo-ple -particularly the children - who have suffered much.

“For us and our air/ground lo-

gistics team with Kalitta Air, DHL, BAWS and DHSA at its core, it is a continuing mission of mercy that will end when the need ends, and I am most appreciative that the Phoenix medical community has responded so positively, so quickly. Something we’ll not soon forget, and should we continue to move this forward, all institutions and individuals involved will be ap-propriately acknowledged. Indeed, I have already made Senate col-leagues aware of the kind and ex-peditious response from the won-derful healthcare professionals of Arizona,” Stokes said.

In light of a series of recent events, the FAA will conduct a comprehensive review of the Boe-ing 787 critical systems, including the design, manufacture and assem-bly. The purpose of the review is to validate the work conducted during the certification process and further ensure that the aircraft meets the FAA’s high level of safety.

“The safety of the traveling pub-lic is our top priority,” said U.S.

Transportation Secretary Ray La-Hood. “This review will help us look at the root causes and do everything we can to safeguard against similar events in the future.”

A team of FAA and Boeing en-gineers and inspectors will conduct this joint review, with an emphasis on the aircraft’s electrical power and distribution system. The review will also examine how the electri-cal and mechanical systems interact

with each other.“We are confident that the air-

craft is safe. But we need to have a complete understanding of what is happening,” said FAA Adminis-trator Michael P. Huerta. “We are conducting the review to further ensure that the aircraft meets our high safety standards.”

The review will be structured to provide a broader view of de-sign, manufacturing and assembly

and will not focus exclusively on individual events. The review is ex-pected to begin in Seattle, but may expand to other locations over the course of several months.

FAA technical experts logged 200,000 hours of work during the 787 type certification and flew on numerous test flights. The FAA re-

views 787 in-service events as part of our continued operational safety process.

United Airlines is currently the only U.S. airline operating the 787, with six airplanes delivered. The worldwide in-service fleet includes 50 aircraft.

Source: Federal Aviation Administration

Boeing is confident in the design and performance of the 787. It is a safe and efficient airplane that brings tremendous value to our customers and an improved flying experience to their passengers.

The airplane has logged 50,000 hours of flight and there are more than 150 flights occurring daily. Its in-service performance is on par with the industry’s best-ever introduction into service – the Boeing 777. Like the 777, at 15 months of service, we are seeing the 787’s fleet wide dispatch reliability well above 90 percent.

More than a year ago, the 787 completed the most robust and rigorous certification process in the history of the FAA. We remain fully confident in the airplane’s design and production system.

Regular reviews of program and technical progress are an important part of the validation and oversight process that has created today’s safe and efficient air transportation system. While the 787’s reliability is on par with the best in class, we have experienced in-ser-vice issues in recent months, and we are never satisfied while there is room for improvement. For that reason, today ( Jan. 11) we jointly announced with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the start of a review of the 787’s recent issues and critical systems.

We welcome the opportunity to conduct this joint review. Our standard practice calls on us to apply rig-orous and ongoing validation of our tools, processes and systems so that we can always be ensured that our products bring the highest levels of safety and reliabil-ity to our customers.

Just as we are confident in the airplane, we are equally confident in the regulatory process that has been applied to the 787 since its design inception. With this airplane, the FAA conducted its most robust certification process ever. We expect that this review will complement that effort.

POLICE REPORT

n TheftDecember 31, 11 a.m.

Officers were dispatched to 6E employee parking to investigate a burglary of a motor ve-hicle. When the victim got off work, he noticed his driver side window was folded down on his Jeep Wrangler. The window, made of plastic, is supposed to be attached to the frame by a zip-per, but it was previously broken and being held together by safety pins. The victim thought his window had come free of the safety pins and was just folded over. Later, he noticed the mid-dle of the plastic window had been cut and had a large hole in it. Then, he noticed the employee parking decal was missing from his vehicle. Nothing else was noticed missing. n Public IntoxicationJanuary 1, 5:56 p.m.

Officers responded to Terminal-A, Gate-23 in reference to a possible assault. The reporting party pointed out a male passenger saying he believed the passenger to be drunk. The male subject had grabbed the arm of a female pas-senger who asked to stay anonymous as she did not wish to press charges. Officers saw the subject bend over to pick up what appeared to be his boarding pass from the floor. The subject’s pants fell down exposing his buttocks as he was not wearing underwear. The subject tried to pull his pants up but was having difficulty doing so. The subject said he had been drinking but only had three beers. He smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, and was unsteady on his feet. He was arrested for Public Intoxication.n Public IntoxicationJanuary 6, 1:38 a.m.

In TerminalC, at upper level entry C7, of-ficers responded in reference to an Intoxicated Person. DFW Valet employees said a female tried to get her vehicle from Valet and appeared very intoxicated. The Valet employees would not re-deem her valet voucher, and they last saw her walking down the road in traffic, yelling at other passengers and then going back inside the ter-minal. Officers saw the female come back out and stumble several times as she walked down the sidewalk. She told officers she was waiting for her husband to pick her up, but she would not tell officers her husband’s name. At first she said she had come in from Florida, and a short time later she said she had been in California. She smelled strongly of an alcoholic beverage,

but she said she had only one drink on the plane ten hours before. As she searched for her driver’s license in her purse, officers saw several pre-scription pill bottles. She seemed very distract-ed and had difficulty concentrating to answer questions. She said she did not want to call her husband to see how long it would be before he got there and that she would take a taxi home. Officers told her that to guarantee her safety; they could only release her to her husband. Her husband said he could not get to the airport in a reasonable amount of time to take custody of her. She was arrested for Public Intoxication.n TheftJanuary 6, 9:14 a.m.

A passenger said she traveled Jan. 5 from LAX to DFW Airport, and upon arrival to DFW and deplaning, she forgot to take her iPad Mini out of the seat pocket infront of her. She said a person at the gate refused to let her go back on the plane to get it. She said the employee told her if the cleaning people found it, they would turn it into the lost and found. When the passen-ger arrived home, she activated an alert mes-sage sent to the device stating that it has been lost and in the event it is found to please call her number. She also activated the tracking applica-tion on her iPad Mini. The device later seemed to be located at Central Drive and Meadow Park Circle in Bedford and has not moved since. A theft report was filed.n Hit and RunJanuary 6, 8:13 p.m.

InTerminal C, Section A, Level C Parking Ga-rage, a witness said she heard a loud noise and turned to see a vehicle had just struck another one while backing. The victim’s vehicle had damage to the right rear fog light and bumper, and when the owner arrived, he said he wanted to pursue charges. The witness said the driver pulled forward into a parking space, got out of his vehicle, and walked back to the victim’s ve-hicle. He walked back and forth looking at the two vehicles. Then, he got back into his vehicle, put his vehicle in reverse gear and backed up partially into the lane and stopped. The man got back out of his vehicle and walked around with his hands on his face appearing confused and distressed. She said that once again he got back into his vehicle and sped away from the scene at a high rate of speed. The time frame for this was about 10 minutes the witness said.

FedEx Express recently donated a Boeing 727-200F to California Baptist University (CBU) for use by its new aviation science program. The cargo jet made its final taxi Jan. 10 after landing at the Riverside Munici-pal Airport. The aircraft will be on permanent display at the airport and will provide a working laboratory for aviation science students.

“Although this aircraft has reached the end of its useful life in commercial service after 33 years, it is beginning a new life here at the Riverside Municipal Airport as a working lab for CBU aviation science stu-dents,” said Dr. Daniel Prather, founding chair of the CBU aviation science department. “CBU could not be more pleased with this generous donation from FedEx and appreciates the role of Women in Aviation Inter-national in making it possible.”

Before its final flight, the aircraft with registration

number N266FE provided FedEx with 20 years of ser-vice transporting packages. The plane is the 60th dona-tion of a Boeing 727 aircraft to various organizations for educational purposes. Prior to its service with FedEx, the aircraft served as a passenger plane for Air Canada.

“FedEx is always proud to give back to the commu-nities where we live and work, and this donation of a 727 from our fleet is a good example of the company’s community spirit,” said David Sutton, managing direc-tor of Aircraft Acquisition and Sales for FedEx.

Prather expressed his gratitude to FedEx, and to Women in Aviation International, who opened up this opportunity to its members. “Starting a program with a B727 already on hand is more than I could have ever expected,” Prather said. “Thank you, FedEx, for making this a reality!”

“There is no way we could do it the way we used to because of the changes in regulations and the changes in the opportunities to collaborate officially and socially,” Dailey said. “Dr. Duran was in-strumental in leading this country into technical excellence through World War I, World War II and by establishing departments of engi-neering at Michigan State, Cornell and Stanford Universities. He in-troduced aeronautical engineering into the curriculum at Stanford. When you think of all the engi-neers and scientists who have gone through those schools, his impact cannot be measured.

“I’m concerned that in order to maintain that level of performance, we need to really pay attention, and we need to get our younger folks interested,” Dailey said. “I think the biggest thing is: they’re intimidated by it. We (at the Smithsonian) are teaching teachers now how to teach

science because many of them don’t have any math or science in their background – their own profes-sional preparation.

“NASA provides us with a lot of information, and we translate that into lesson plans and work with pre-kindergarten teachers,” Dailey said. “Right now, we are focused on the District of Columbia, which is an under-served entity in terms of math and science, so we’re hoping we can light a match and get inspi-rations flowing.”

AIAAOver 1,800 industry personnel

registered from Japan, Russia, Chi-na, Germany, UK, France, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea, Ni-geria, Australia, and South Africa, according to Duane Hyland, AIAA Communications Specialist.

“This is the 51st Aerospace Sci-ences Meeting, but in reality it is the last,” Hyland said. “Next year, AIAA will debut a new conference called Sci-Tech. It will fold this conference and some of our more technology related conferences to-gether into one venue. Whereas,

now we have 28 conferences a year at AIAA across the country, start-ing next year, we’re only going to have five. We are going to be bring-ing a lot of our other conferences under one roof to create a larger exchange of ideas.”

Hyland said some future speak-ers will take a less technical approach to presenting in order to engage in-terested people in the community and students. Next year’s meetings are planned for Washington D.C. (Sci-Tech), Atlanta, GA (AIAA Aviation), Cleveland, OH (AIAA Propulsion and Energy), and San Diego, CA (AIAA Space). The lo-cation for AIAA (Defense) has not been decided.

Hyland said this was the group’s first time in Dallas, but that it will not be their last.

“There is a lot to do here be-tween Fort Worth, Grapevine and Downtown Dallas,” Hyland said. “There is a lot of history here – a lot of culture here, and the people are just so nice. When people here ask, “What kind of a day are you hav-ing?’ they actually mean it.

Shriners Hospitals for Chil-dren®, a nonprofit network of 22 specialized hospitals in the United States, Canada and Mexico, has ac-cepted the single largest donation of United Airlines award miles as part of a 10 million mile charitable giveaway sponsored by the world’s largest airline.

Shriners Hospitals will use this generous gift to offset transporta-tion costs for certain families need-ing care from any of the Shriners Hospitals. The health care system

provides specialty care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

As part of its “10 Million Char-ity Miles Giveaway,” United invited members of the public and its Mile-agePlus® loyalty program to vote for their favorite of 38 charitable organizations, including Shriners Hospitals for Children, to receive a portion of the 10 million award miles grant. Dec. 6 - 25 hundreds

of thousands of participants identi-fied Shriners Hospitals as a charity of choice, resulting in the largest donation awarded through the con-test. The miles Shriners Hospitals received can help provide roundtrip transportation for many potential Shriners Hospitals for Children patients, some of whom may be cared for in United “hub” cities like Houston, Chicago and Los Ange-les.

“We’re truly touched by United’s generosity and by the thousands

American Airlines signed an agreement with Doha, Qatar-based Qatar Airways, one of the world’s fastest-growing airlines, to codeshare on each other’s flights providing new growth opportunities for American in the Middle East and for Qatar in the United States. Following government approvals the new codeshare agreement will offer customers more seamless choices by allowing the two airlines to work together to im-prove flight schedules and connection times.

“Our extensive codeshare relationship with Qatar Airways will provide our customers with easy, premium access when traveling to and from the Middle East and beyond,” said Kurt Stache, American’s Vice President – Strategic Alliances.

“This new codeshare relationship with Qatar is an-other example of how American is focused on building its global network through closer coordination with its

alliance partners around the world.”The agreement with Qatar will include codesharing

on nonstop flights between the U.S. and Doha, flights connecting at the carriers’ European gateways such as Paris and London, and flights to cities in the U.S. and beyond Doha.

In October 2012, Qatar was invited to join the one-world® alliance. Qatar is the first of the three major carriers in the Gulf to join a global airline alliance. Its addition will add 15 destinations and three countries to the oneworld map. Qatar currently serves 120 des-tinations in 70 countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and Australia. From its Doha hub, it offers more than 1,100 weekly flights, including service to 17 cities throughout the Middle East.

Horizon Air and the Interna-tional Brotherhood of Teamsters announced Jan. 9 that the carrier’s 610 pilots ratified an agreement to extend the current contract for three years, creating a new six-year pact.

Among pilots who voted, 77 percent approved ratification.

“The fact that the extension was achieved three years before the

contract became amendable dem-onstrates the effectiveness of our sincerely collaborative approach with our union-represented work-groups,” Horizon President Glenn Johnson said.

The new contract includes wage increases, improvements in produc-tivity and quality of life, and better job security.

The extended contract becomes

amendable on Dec. 14, 2018, and was originally ratified in November 2010.

“We look forward to working together with the company to help Horizon continue on its path of in-creasing profitability, which will en-able our airline to grow,” said Cap-tain Dan Johnston, Horizon Air Executive Council chairman.

have served DFW for nearly three decades and now am ready to pur-sue other career and personal inter-ests. My heartfelt thanks go to the Board of Directors, everyone in the DFW Airport organization, and all other partners for their support throughout the years. It’s been an honor and privilege to serve such a dynamic, professional, and high impact organization.”

Robert Hsueh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DFW, will appoint an ad hoc working group, the CEO Search Working Group, to identify the process for finding a successor. Fegan will continue his responsibilities to Sep. 1 or until a successor is in place, and will assist as requested by the Board in transi-tion activities.

“Under Jeff ’s leadership, DFW Airport has achieved distinction as one of the best airports in the world,” Hsueh said. “He is known internationally as one of the world’s leading authorities in airport plan-ning, management, and commer-cialization. DFW has achieved prominence in large part due to his innovative vision and inclusive, thoughtful leadership.”

Since taking the helm in 1994 at age 39 as one of the youngest airport CEOs in the country, Fegan over-saw the growth and development of the 18,000 acre DFW Airport from a $217 million per year enterprise to one with over $650 million a year in revenues. His leadership was in-strumental in supporting American Airlines’ growth and development

at DFW. Today DFW is not only the largest hub for American Air-lines, but the largest hub for the 12 airline member oneworld Alli-ance. Fegan also worked to bring competitive air service to DFW, including most recently, Qantas, Emirates, AeroMexico, Cayman Airways, Virgin America, Spirit and Jet Blue, expanding direct des-tinations and options for travelers.

“Under Jeff ’s leadership, the strategy and plans are in place that will take us through the next five years,” said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. “Following the best two years in DFW Airport’s history, it seems a great time for Jeff to choose this time to help DFW transition to the next leader. DFW has gained from Jeff ’s broad expertise on many fronts. He is a steadfast champion of diversity and inclusion, and has truly advanced DFW Airport as the economic engine of the region. Over the last two years in particu-lar, he has successfully expanded international service, bringing new international air carriers to DFW with routes to Australia with Qa-ntas and to the Middle East with Emirates – each bringing year-over-year economic impact of over $220 million to the citizens of Dallas, Fort Worth and the region. DFW Airport will miss Jeff, but he has put in place a strong and capa-ble leadership team regarded as the best in the airport industry.”

“We congratulate Jeff Fegan on a remarkable career at DFW Airport,” said Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price. “As the largest hub for American Airlines, DFW Airport increased international destinations from 24 in 1994 to 50 today, in-

creased domestic destinations from 113 to 148, and we now have more than 50 international air cargo departures each week to 16 cargo hubs worldwide. DFW Airport served 58 million passengers last year alone as the gateway to North Texas.”

“Add this tremendous growth to DFW Airport’s consistent rating among the top five airports in the world for customer service, and the result of Jeff ’s leadership is unmis-takable,” Price said.“Jeff has enjoyed a long and distinguished run at the Airport, and he has led a manage-ment team that achieved worldwide acclaim for Fort Worth, Dallas and all of the communities of North Texas. We’ll miss Jeff, but wish him the very best in his retirement.”

During his tenure, Fegan led the development and implementation of DFW’s first Strategic Plan and the Airport’s Master Plan, and he worked closely with stakeholders to address community concerns re-lated to airport expansion. He suc-cessfully led the Airport through multiple economic downturns, waves of airline industry restruc-turing and consolidation, and the challenges for DFW following the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001.

Under Fegan’s leadership, DFW expanded airfield capacity. The sev-enth runway (17 Left 35 Right) was built, and DFW’s four primary north-south runways were ex-tended by 2000 feet each to ensure DFW readiness into the future for next generation long-haul aircraft. The innovative southeast perimeter

taxiway was also built allowing air-craft to land and proceed directly to their gates without having to cross an active runway.

In 2005, a $2.8 billion capital development plan was complet-ed, which included construction of International Terminal D and the Skylink people mover system, which has made DFW one of the most efficient connecting hubs in the world. The project also included construction of the Grand Hyatt DFW – an acclaimed hotel earning top awards worldwide.

Other achievements of note in-clude the development of the con-solidated DFW Rental Car Center, International Commerce Park, the International Air Cargo Cen-ter, DFW’s Corporate Aviation, Founders’ Plaza observation center, and establishment of the Airport Operations Center (AOC), Emer-gency Operations Center (EOC), DFW Fire Training Research Cen-ter and the DFW Airport Wellness Center.

Group rejects proposal to change FAA pilot rulesAirlines for America (A4A) recently reaffirmed its support for the new

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot duty and rest times rule, which was rigorously analyzed over a two-year period, and urged Congress to reject recently introduced legislation by Congressmen Michael Grimm (R-NY) and Tim Bishop (D-NY) to extend those rules beyond passenger airlines to all-cargo carriers.

“We are in the safest period of aviation history, an achievement reached through a shared commitment the FAA, the airlines and their employees, and the new FAA rule continues to put the safe operation of passenger and cargo airlines first for customers and crew members,” said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio. “All stakeholders actively participated in the rulemaking, which was composed of a scientific review of existing safety measures, fatigue mitigations and diverse airline operating environments, and the rule as put forward by the FAA builds on our safety record.”

The proposed legislation is ill-advised with no basis in science or rel-evant data, according to A4A.

Movie delivers solid, adult film without over- the-top effectsTitle: Promised LandRated: R

The main question many people ask about a film this time of year is, “is it Oscar

worthy?” In the case of the new environmental drama, Promised Land, it might not get the award nominations it deserves, but it is still a fine piece of filmmaking.

Steve Butler (Matt Da-mon) is a salesman for a Natural Gas company whose job it is to go into small towns and have people sign over drilling rights. He is good at what he does, and his charm and average guy demeanor help him suc-

ceed. The film focuses on one such town that Steve goes into where he runs into opposi-tion not only from a few townspeople but a grassroots environmentalist ( John Krasin-ski) set on getting the truth out about Natu-ral Gas drilling.

This is a well written perfectly acted adult drama. In ways it will remind you of the very successful Erin Brockovich movie. Though not as cut and dry on who the bad guy is, it still captures a part of working class America and how it deals with choices when money is on the table. Steve Butler isn’t a swindler or a cheat; just a guy trying to help people earn some extra money during a tough economy. He thinks his company is offering a way out for many land owners. It isn’t until he gets involved with the people and their lives that he has to do some soul searching.

Films of this nature are void of over-the-top action, explosions and sex-pummeled dialogue. Therefore, it has to rely on a script that tells a riveting story. It has a nice, relaxed pace and allows you to ease into the lives and setting of the characters. It isn’t hokey with its conversations and doesn’t try and preach one side or the other. It simply lets the char-acters convey their message while allowing you to know that not everything is exactly as it seems. You know something is bubbling just under the surface.

Promised Land is rated R for language. It is an adult film only due to the nature of the story and the feel of the film. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 dotted lines. Though you may not hear it mentioned in all the award buzz it is certainly one that may have been sadly over-looked.

United Airlines recent launched a new baggage delivery option, enabling customers to have their checked bags delivered directly to their final destinations – within 100 miles of their arrival airports – and skip baggage claim upon arrival. Baggage delivery by BagsVIP will initially be available to cus-tomers departing from any domestic airport and arriving in Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles and Orlando. The

airline plans to expand the service to more than 190 domestic airports in the coming months.

“United’s new baggage delivery service offers an alternative for travelers who pre-fer the convenience of having their checked bags delivered directly to their homes, offic-es or hotels,” said Tom O’Toole, United’s se-nior vice president of marketing and loyalty. “Our customers have told us this type of op-

tion adds value to their travel experience.”Standard rates for bag delivery within a

40-mile radius are as follows: 1 bag - $29:95; 2 bags - $39:95; 3 to 8 bags - $49:95.

Delivery is available up to a 100-mile radius for an additional charge that varies by distance. Delivery pricing is in addition to any standard checked-bag charges that might otherwise apply.
