Default Army get-together @ WIA Nashville
Hello,

My name is Mark Cuppernull. I mentor future airline pilots as a founder and moderator of APTAP.org (Army Pilots To Airline Pilots).

APTAP was formed in 1998 with the intent to "pay it forward" for fellow military veterans, and in particular, army aviators, by those of us who have been hired by the airlines.

With membership approaching one thousand, Aptap has mentored countless military veterans in their search for post-service aviation employment.

During the late 1990's and early 2000's, Aptap hosted get-togethers that frequently coincided with Air-Inc conferences and other professional seminars, and hosted speakers such as Captain Kit Darby (UAL ret), founder of Air-Inc; Captain Plato Rhyne (DAL ret), former head of hiring for Delta Airlines; and Lieutenant General August Cianciolo (US Army, Ret).

Aptap is hosting an informal get-together dinner on Friday evening, March 11, 2016 in Nashville to coincide with the annual Women In Aviation Conference. We anticipate a membership turn-out of 20 to 25.

I would like to extend an invitation to the ALPA and various airline WAI representatives and volunteers, and to any army aviators in the area, to please join us on March 11 for an informal evening of drinks, fine food, conversation and merriment at a location (TBD) nearby the Gaylord Opryland Resort.

It has been my great honor and privilege over the years to be involved with Army Pilots To Airline Pilots - a fraternal organization that asks of it's members only "to pay it forward".

Please feel free to email or call me with any questions.

Fraternally,

Mark Cuppernull
