Robert Isom’s Post

Currently, I am transitioning from my current job back to the aviation industry, and I was posed a straightforward question: Why do you have a passion for aviation? My concise response is: Firstly, I appreciate the dynamic and demanding nature of aviation, viewing it as an ideal fit for my desire to confront and overcome challenges. Secondly, I find purpose and fulfilment in the substantial responsibilities associated with key positions, drawing from my past operational experience. Lastly, the diverse career paths within the aviation industry allow me to align roles with my specific interests and leverage my unique skill set. From the ground crew to the talented pilots and the entire elaborate system of operations, I have always been fascinated by aviation. #aviation #airport #passion #aviationworld #fly #airplane #groundstaff #pilot

Safety is paramount in aviation, and I'm eager to deepen my knowledge and expertise in this crucial aspect of our industry. ✈️🛫

Have you ever paused to reflect on the fact that when you step on board a plane, you're entrusting your life to the people in the cockpit? It's one of the highest forms of trust that exist. On commercial flights, the only connection you typically have with the pilots is when the captain greets you on board and thanks you for the flight close to landing. And now, some airlines even tend to take away this sole connection between the individuals responsible for passengers’ safety in the air. In private aviation, we often emphasize the quality of service, from the beautiful aircraft to the catering and the attentive stewards who ensure your comfort during travel, whether it's for you, your family, or your pets. But there's one more detail that, in my opinion, is a game changer. When you board a private jet, the captain, the first officer, and the stewards greet you warmly, inviting you on board as if welcoming you into their home. These individuals are not just responsible for your comfort; they're responsible for your safety throughout the entire journey. It's a genuine human touch that sets private aviation apart. Here, I'd like to highlight the crucial role of the operators who meticulously select and hire the most experienced crew members, individuals who have logged hundreds of hours in the air before being entrusted with the lives of those on board. In an era marked by automation and the removal of human involvement in many processes in the name of optimization, it's this personal touch that truly makes private aviation service unique and premium. And for me, that’s what simply cannot be substituted. #privateaviation #trust #premiumservice #humantouch #moccajet #jetcharter #crew #aircraft #broker #privateflight #safety

Just attended the University Aviation Association conference and met Steve Swauger, pilot and author of Master Airline Pilot: Applying Human Factors to Reach Peak Performance and Operational Resilience who did a presentation on the attibutes of a Master Pilot. He read this quote from an FO in praise of his Captain describing real #leadership. "He is an exceptional Captain because he leads by example and motivates me to be better. After 25 years of Air Force and civilian #flying, I’ve flown with a ton of #pilots/ #Captains. He is absolutely one of the best Captains in my career. He sets an outstanding example in two areas: operational and team building. He really knows the book, and executes the procedures, administrative and operational, but does it with common sense and ease. Throughout the process he consults and advises the FO, checking that his plan makes sense and is agreeable. He listens to the crew, and discusses options; he doesn’t dictate. He is humble and will gladly do a walk-around, or a preflight, or just help out during a tight turn. He’s always aware of the entire crew’s status and is ready to help. But what really sets him apart is his follow-through. If he doesn’t know the answer to a question, he’ll get it. Through the course of the trip, we came upon 3 or 4 unanswered questions from FARs to training. He did the research, e-mailed training, made phone calls, and got the answers to all the questions in 2 days. Then he e-mailed the details and citations to me!   "His real strength that catapults him beyond other good Captains is his team building approach to the whole organization. He always brings chocolate bars for the #flightattendants, he helps them put their bags up on originators, he helps clean when he has free time at the end of a pairing. But wait, there’s more: He always buys lunch, or dinner, or beverages for the entire crew. He’s so generous with his good fortune that it’s contagious. Additionally, he is a great people person, always striking up conversations with even the grouchiest of folks. His good cheer and generosity extend to operations agents and other company employees. His good attitude is contagious. He sets such a great example of being a good pilot, a good leader, and a good team builder that everyone enjoys flying with him. He never preaches; he leads by example. When you see the flight attendants faces and attitudes change when offers candy and puts their bag in the overhead you are motivated to do the same. He makes me want to be better. Because of him I now carry chocolate, make my PAs from the front of the cabin, and spend more time studying the books. Imagine if all pilots were like him. The attitude would always be great, the teamwork would be amazing, the whole team would be tighter, happier, better prepared, and more productive. He sets the standard I now aspire to." https://lnkd.in/eb3zhi3Y Karlene Petitt PhD, MBA, MHS Christine Janning Andrea Nicole R. Sara Hammel

One of my long-time corporate roles was in the aviation industry. As you can imagine, this industry is highly regulated and there’s no room for error. This is where I first came across the mother of all checklists … the challenge and response checklist. This is where the non-flying pilot will read the checklist item to the flying pilot who will then verbally confirm the status or configuration of the item. While this type of checklist is totally necessary for the aviation industry, it’s probably a bit over the top for us business owners!

If you love aviation - flying, fixing, being a part of it, or being around it -- I'd love to hear your answers on this subject! My two cent's worth??? Those who love aviation understand its power -- its power to move us from place to place; its power to take us and expose us to people, cultures, and worlds vastly different than our own; its power to increase our understanding of the world and to force us to question our own knowledge or assumptions. Aviation changes our physical position and, in doing so, has the power to change our life perspective (if we let it), in ways that no other forms of transportation can. Over-the-road, rail, and maritime vessels all move us, as well, but there's something different and far more impactful about moving us above the clouds, above our troubles and struggles, and helping us see a world of wonder and possibilities. That is why we love it. Whether we fly aircraft, fix aircraft, or support aircraft from behind a desk --- we love aviation and being a part of aviation because we understand its power to impact us and change us in positive ways. #aviation #aviationtraining #aviationmaintenance #airlines #pilot #pilotrecruitment #aircraft #aircraftmaintenance #aircraftmechanic #aviationtraining #aviationtechnician
