From pilot pay and recruiting to acquisitions and maintenance scope - OneSky Flight has seen a steady stream of BIG wins. These are huge feats accomplished against the backdrop of a tumultuous industry, and they speak to the leadership of the organization.
OneSky’s success has been done in stages; formulating the strategy to make the company a successful career destination, hiring accomplished “right-fit” aviators, and growing both the fleet and maintenance capacity to keep up with the needs.
How is the leadership balancing these goals while being selective about growth? What measures have they put in place to avoid some of the woes their industry counterparts are facing?
In this episode, SVP and Chief Administrative Officer at OneSky Flight, Bob Sullivan returns to talk about the exciting year the company has had.
World dominance is not our goal - our goal is to be the best. -Bob Sullivan
