West Star Aviation is seeing strong early benefits from its March acquisition of DC Jet as it continues to strengthen its AOG (aircraft on ground) capabilities ahead of the busy summer season. With calls into West Star Aviation’s dedicated AOG control center already increasing, the added technician headcount and expanded tooling resources gained through the acquisition are enhancing the company’s ability to respond to customer needs quickly and efficiently.

Many aircraft maintenance professionals liken what we do as aircraft maintenance professionals to doctors. After all, doctors are responsible for the health and well-being of their patients. Similarly, we are responsible for the health and well-being of the aircraft we maintain.

We Could Learn a lot from NASCAR

I was sitting down watching a NASCAR race recently and it struck me how the sport places a huge emphasis on its maintenance professionals!

Every NASCAR fan has his or her favorite driver. But their knowledge typically doesn’t stop with the driver. NASCAR does a good job of educating the public about the drivers’ crew chiefs – the top mechanics for the teams – at every opportunity it gets. As a result, not only does the typical NASCAR fan know who the crew chief is for their favorite driver, they likely know the crew chiefs for many of the drivers on the track.
