Thought Pilots Advisory Boards’ Post

🛫 Pilots have their own secret language! The phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…) is used worldwide to avoid communication mistakes, especially in noisy environments. This ensures critical information like flight numbers, runways, and headings are clearly understood. Pilots, what's your favorite call sign story? #AviationLingo #PilotFacts #CommunicationInTheAir #PilotLife

I just read Rita Kind-Envy's article on 'get-there-itis,' the tendency to ignore issues & red flags in favor of pushing ahead to get something launched. Honestly, I felt personally attacked, since I know I have moved hell and high water to launch something on time, when maybe a delay or a rethink was warranted. Pilots suffering from get-there-itis have crashed planes. Luckily the worst a PM can do is launch a janky product or failed feature. Have you ever suffered from 'get-there-itis?' Did you manage to check that impulse in time and, if you did, how? https://lnkd.in/ed_cg6Ju

I was hired by Unison Industries not long after the company was acquired by Rick Sontag. We had 80 employees with an annual revenue of $14MM. I had been flying since age 14 and when I was hired by Unison at age 25 for a sales and marketing role, my flight experience and aircraft mechanic experience was a significant factor in Unison's selection criteria. I was not the only pilot, though. Rick Sontag, Brad Mottier, and others in our small organization were also pilots. Some of my best memories with Unison are the flight testing I did for our piston engine ignition products, the many hours of flying with the Van Dusen and Aviall sales reps who covered their territories using airplanes, and the many opportunities to fly with customers and our OEM customers to support products Unison sold. I still fly nearly every day, and every flight is with an aircraft that is equipped with Unison products. In retrospect, the nearly 8,000 hours I have logged over the past 48 years have been largely flown behind engines using Unison ignition systems products. While I do not directly work for Unison any longer, this company has routinely been a customer to the later companies I have worked for. In fact, Unison is one of Carlisle Interconnect's largest and longest term customers. Some jobs are not just jobs, but life experiences. For me, Unison was and continues to be a great experience in my life and career....
