It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of James (Jim) F.
Gorman to the newly created position of Vice President, Flight Training and
Standards, within the Air Operations Division. Jim will join the AOD team
on March 22, 2010. In this position Jim will work closely with Paul Cassel,
Vice President of Flight Operations, to continue to enhance the excellent
work already underway to improve safety in the air operations.
With the introduction of the 757, 777, ETOPS and our impending conversion
to a Flag/Domestic Operating Certificate, air operations has become ever
more sophisticated and complex. After carefully evaluating the tremendous
impact on workload and span of control engendered by these changes, the
leadership role within Flight Operations has been divided with two officers
focusing on specific areas while working in tandem to make our operation
even safer and more responsive to our customers.
To accomplish this, as of March 22, Bob Gasko, Managing Director, Flight
Standards and Tech Support, and Brian Ward, Managing Director, Flight and
Tech Training and their organizations will report to Jim Gorman. The
remaining Flight Operations Managing Directors and their organizations will
continue to report to Paul Cassel.
Jim comes to us with over thirty years of aviation experience, most
recently being the Vice President of Standards and Training at NetJets
Aviation. Prior to that, he was the Managing Director of Flight Training
and Standards at US Airways, where he led the integration of the Training
and Standards functions during the America West-US Airways merger. Before
being named Managing Director, he was the Boeing Fleet Captain. While at US
Airways, he spent twenty-six years flying a variety of aircraft and was
last qualified in the 757/767. In the mid-1990s he was a contributor to
their major safety turnaround as a lead Check Airman. Jim has a B.S. degree
from Embry Riddle and over 13,000 hours of flight time in a variety of
aircraft.
I am very excited to have Jim join our team. He will bring different
experiences, a fresh perspective and new ideas to how we do business and
will work closely with the Flight team to develop and implement innovative
programs to enhance how we train and check our flight crews.
Please join me in welcoming Jim Gorman to the FedEx Express team!

Evidently, he enjoys soap operas, Big Brother, and playing Farmville, but they left that out of the FCIF.

Not sure how to take this? They hire an outsider, a bit unusual I'd say. They also take some stuff off PCs plate. The last time that happened, Bruce Cheever ended up with the whole pie and Scott Sandwick was left high and dry. Maybe this guy is being groomed for something bigger......like the whole pie when PC retires? Ah, office politics from the perspective of the unwashed masses. It's like a couple Cockneys speculating on the goings on at Buckingham Palace. Whatever the intrigue, I know one thing, I'll be the last to know.
