2.  Hours are identified as being flown out of the Northern Division "at-large," the Bangor Hub, or other Divisions, etc. and summed for the month.  Some hours are from the year 2002 due to receipt of late flight reported.

3.  Three new pilots joined the Northern Division this month.  They are Don Hulick (BGAN033), Perry Hayward (BGAN034), and Gene Ward (BGAN035).

Southern Division News

 

Southern Division Pilots flew  242.91 hours and a visitor flew 2.00 hours

 

We had 5 new pilots sign up: Teun Langeveld, Tim Pinkawa, Gary McCarty, Rocky Wallace and Sandi Koprivec.

 

Pilots Hank Robinson, John Stone, Steve Huxter, Mattias Udd and Rob O’Neil have been removed from the roster.

After two months of inactivity, a pilot is marked as “Inactive”.  At that time an e-mail is sent to determine the pilots future status.   If no response is received it is assumed the pilot is not interested in remaining on the roster. We hate to lose pilots, but it is not our intention to have a lot of inactive pilots listed on the roster.

 

Gary McCarty (bgas031) has been promoted to First Officer.  Congratulations!

 

William (Bill) Agee (bgas006) has passed the 1,500 hour mark!  We don’t have any higher ranks to award him, but it is an occasion worthy of recognition. 

 

 

 

Turbo Division News

 

Visitors flew 51.84 hours.

 

From the C.E.O.

 

Wow!  A record month for flight time.  Altogether 35 Bluegrass pilots flew 890.78 hours.

 

The web-site broke the record for transferring data: 3.69 gigabytes.

The number of visitors was 3,952 (not a record) but they stayed around long enough to view 12,351 pages which is a record.

 

You can view all the stats yourself at  http://www.bluegrassairlines.com/webstats

 

Of particular interest to me are the top 30 countries that our visitors come from.  In January Slovenia and Lithuania appeared on the list for the first time.

 

The February Feature of the Month is on-site.  It is the TWA 1935 New York to Los Angles flights using the DC-2.

 

The Main Roster has been updated with all the pilots hours and totals for each division.

 

Thanks for your participation, it is what makes my job worth doing.
