Tom's interest in all things flying started when he was very small. Growing up right next to the Moncton Airport no doubt influenced him. Through scholarships with the Air Cadets, Tom earned glider and private pilot licenses. The late 1980s was a bonanza period in Atlantic Canada aviation and Tom moved from flight instructor to charter pilot on Navajos to the right seat of the DHC-8 in roughly three years. Later he flew the BAe-146 and then in 1998, he and his family moved to Calgary when he accepted a position as First Officer on the B737-200, upgrading to captain in 2000 and then transitioning to the 737NG in 2004.

Tom's passion for flying lies in the areas of flight instruction. While an instructor, he truly enjoyed the reward of teaching others and later continued to share this as a training pilot on the 737-200. Not forgetting his roots, he loves flying little airplanes too and owns a share in a Piper Dakota.

Always intrigued with the business world, Tom sought out higher learning and in 2005, he completed his Masters of Business Administration.

Through the education that the MBA has provided and through his past experiences serving pilots, Tom has a great balance of knowledge to draw from. In the past he has sat on the Board of Directors of one of Canada's largest flight schools and has also served with two separate pilot associations with positions ranging from scheduling representative to Vice-President. Tom is also secretary of an organization that is working to revitalize recreational and general aviation in his home town.

Tom is currently a 737NG Captain who flies throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Jim knew from a very young age that he wanted to be in, or around, airplanes. Growing up in Canada and Europe, Jim first successfully completed an Oil Engineering degree followed by an Aircraft Maintenance license before setting his sights on obtaining his pilot qualifications. After returning to British Columbia in 1996, Jim quickly completed his Canadian Pilot licenses. He joined a Canadian cargo start-up as a Second Officer on the Boeing 727.

One opportunity led to another and Jim stayed in the business flying on the Boeing 727, with different companies for several years. During this time, he also became involved in the training of newly hired pilots, which sparked his interest in mentoring the younger generation of pilots. In 2011, Jim left the night cargo business in favour of a Canadian Charter operation flying the Boeing 737NG, where he is presently Captain.

David is currently a First Officer for a regional airline in Canada.

He is also a Class 2 flight instructor and formerly ground school coordinator at a large Maritime based flight college. In 2015, he graduated from a University B.Sc Aviation program offered in conjunction with a New Brunswick-based flight college and was also the 2015 Webster Memorial Trophy Winner.

He is self-motivated to be part of growing Canadian aviation, in particular committed to enhancing the standards of the profession to the benefit of all pilots, and improving flight training instruction and standards.

Alistair's interest in aviation was sparked as a Cadet in the Air Training Corp, where he had the opportunity to do an air experience flight in an RAF DH Chipmunk and obtain his A&B Certificates in Gliding after soloing a Kirby Cadet Mk3 in 1964.

During a work assignment in the Bahamas, Alistair completed his FAA Private Certificate in 1971 and accumulated approximately 1200 hours flying around the Islands and southeast Florida.

In 1972 Alistair was transferred to Jamaica where he gained experience in flying into the many challenging bush airstrips that existed in Jamaica at that time. During an extended vacation to the USA, Alistair completed his Commercial Pilot training at Fort Worth, Texas, in 1973.

While working for the oil industry in the Middle East that allowed generous amounts of time off for rest and relaxation, Alistair completed Flying Instructor Courses with both Rogers Aviation and CSE Oxford Air Training in the UK. His first junior flying instructor job was in 1977 in Dubai, UAE. Alistair progressed through the Company to become a line pilot in the Company's commercial aviation division and was seconded to Gulf Air in Oman and for about one year, to Bandar Abbas in Iran, to fly for the Imperial Iranian Navy.

Returning to the UK in 1980, Alistair started a flying school for a local aviation company in Glasgow. At that time, he was also appointed as a CAA / AOPA Flight Examiner.

Alistair arrived with his wife Diane in British Columbia, Canada, in 1982 and has since worked as a Chief Flight Instructor and Chief Pilot for a number of small Commercial Air Service both in the northwest of British Columbia and for the last 18 years, in the Vancouver area.
