Are we tired of “elections” yet?
Announcement of the winner for the free hour in the Redbird full-motion simulator
The Meeting – Rules of Engagement
Must be a paid member of GPA
The meeting will be hosted by Captain Denny Breslin, president of GPA
We are planning several agenda items and hope to have Airport officials online to answer questions but we cannot guarantee how it will all work!
All participants will be muted initially. There is a method of raising your hand to comment – we will try that – but success depends on how many pilots join the meeting.
Keep comments to a minimum – primarily questions about agenda items
Meeting will last one hour or until agenda items and Q&A are exhausted
Please have patience with the process as not everyone has experience with Zoom. You will need to contact Zoom and set up and account. It is free. It will allow you to download the Zoom app and configure it. Zoom works best on a computer with a good webcam. iPads and iPhones work, but are limited in features and it is unlikely we can take questions easily from those using smart-phones. Airpods or headphones are best for sound quality. You can test audio and video before the meeting.
