Periodicals POSTAGE PAID at San Mateo, CA and additional mailing offices: POSTMASTER: Send address changes to RUPANEWS, P.O. Box 757, Stowe, VT 05672-0757 2 February, 2019 RUPANEWS President's Letter Hello everyone. I hope you had a great holiday season, and that we can look forward to a happy and healthy 2019. The first thing on my mind as I write this is the loss of our friend and mentor, Captain Leon Scarbrough. I know all the other officers feel as I do. He was always there to bounce ideas off, and to offer advice anytime we needed it. Leon was a newhire classmate of former RUPA President Cort de Peyster, who has written a nice tribute to his close friend, which appears later in this issue. Here are a couple of good deals that all pilots will like. First is for veterans. It’s a website, www.shopmyexchange.com and you can quickly fill out a form and shop military exchanges right from that site. There are some excellent deals there. Another is the United Perks. I signed up for it and I get periodic emails with graphic links to shop for services and items. I just bought a new Samsung soundbar, using a link right to the Samsung USA website, and got it for $100 off. I closed that browser and went directly to the Samsung website and, sure enough, there it was for $100 more than I got it through United Perks. Just log onto FlyingTogether at www.ft.ual.com and then go to Employee Services, My Discounts, or go right to https:// united.perkspot.com/ There you quickly set up your account and start shopping. There truly are some great deals. Then, one of our members told me about Hyatt Legal Services, which give United employees and retirees free wills, living wills and powers of attorney. I have no idea how good this service is. The reviews are mixed on line, but they’re for other prepaid legal services and not the free ones we get. I called to verify it and we do get this free of charge, paid for by United Airlines. Once again, I must write about a problem with Aetna. I have the United Airlines secondary coverage with them. The company sent them all the info about me and my wife for this year, but somehow Aetna lost my wife, so she wasn’t shown as covered. It took days and many phone calls, first to Aetna customer service, then to United’s Your Benefit Resource (which is Hewitt), who verified her coverage, then two conference calls back to Aetna. Finally, after a week of this, Aetna showed her as covered. I wish I could bill that company for all the hours I waste on them every year since United switched. I know BlueCross Blue Shield wasn’t any better. If any of you have similar problems, don’t give up. Keep at it until they straighten it out. Welcome to the following new members: Capt Jon Dueck (SFO) Littleton, CO Capt Steve Lerum (LAX) Solana Beach, CA Capt Jim Prier (ORD) Dayton, OH Capt William Rogalski (SFO) Meadow Vista, CA Capt Danny Cerna (SFO) Dixon, CA Capt Larry Farnsworth (SFO) Florence, OR Capt David Witter (SFO) Novato, CA Capt Charles Barnett (EWR) Bayport, NY Capt Randy Slightam (SFO) Discovery Bay, CA Capt Tom Killion (DCA) Port Yarmouth, MA Capt Larry Lumpkin (DEN) Elkhorn, NE Capt Rob Reed (EWR) Virginia Beach, VA Capt Abbas Reza (EWR) Medford, NJ Capt Ross Miller (IAH) Point Blank, TX Capt Mark Coil (ORD) Gig Harbor, W Capt Sandy Heely, Jr. (DEN) Auburn, AL Capt Gary Hrobuchak (DCA) Richmond, VA Capt Sal Salazar (ORD) Owasso, OK Capt Keltie Morris (SFO) San Francisco, CA Capt Herb Fischer (IAD) Gamaliel, AR Capt Gregory White (?) Mercersburg, PA And another special welcome to United Flight Attendant Trudy Engeldinger (SFOSW) Rocklin, CA There were a number of other new membership applications without their dues payment, and they haven’t been mentioned here. Once their dues are in, they’re considered members. Our most excellent Secretary/Treasurer, Captain John Rains, has explained to me how much easier his workload is with the increasing number of members who are paying on line with a credit card. For a number of reasons, it makes keeping the books way easier, so I’m making a request to all of you to please go to www.rupa.org and pay your dues there. You can even select an annual, recurring payment so you don’t have to worry about remembering to do it each year in your birth month. ‘Nuff said. That’s all from sunny South Florida. Bob February, 2019 RUPANEWS 3 Vice President’s Letter I trust the RUPA Nation had a wonderful holiday which was full of cheer and laughter. It was an immensely fun time for my wife and me as we traveled the nation in the last month with stops in NYC, San Diego and lastly Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. I am happy to report that the college football team I support, the Ohio State Buckeyes, pulled out a victory in the Rose Bowl against those tremendously talented Washington Huskies. And so, it is with great sadness that I also must add my condolences for the loss of our long time RUPA member, Leon Scarbrough. Leon was a longtime friend of Cort de Peyster. Cort and Leon met each other as new hire classmates with United Airlines. Their friendship transcends time as many others within the RUPA organization, United Airlines and his longtime friends in Sonoma, CA. He will be dearly missed. Cort will have more to say about this in a separate article. I am happy to report that the new employeeRes system is rolling out very well. It may take a while to familiarize yourself with the intricacies, but it does seem to be an improvement. United announced the largest ever international network expansion from SFO. We even have flights to Tahiti. They also strengthened a flying partnership in a contract with ExpressJet. They will operate 25 Embraer 175-SC jets to support our network.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Airbus and Green Africa announce strategic partnership with MoU for 50 A220s @Airbus #A220 @Greenafrica Singapore, 13 February 2020 – Green Africa Airways, Nigeria’s Lagos-based airline, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for 50 A220-300 aircraft, one of the major orders to be placed globally for the A220 programme and the largest ever from the African continent. Babawande Afolabi, Founder & CEO of Green Africa Airways said, “Together with Airbus, we are incredibly proud to announce the largest order ever for the A220 from the African continent. The Green Africa story is a story of entrepreneurial boldness, strategic foresight and an unwavering commitment to using the power of air travel to create a better future”. Airbus Chief Commercial Officer, Christian Scherer, speaking from the Singapore Airshow, added, “We are excited about the Green Africa project, its legitimate ambition and its professionalism, evidenced by their most discerning choice for their operating assets. The unique characteristics of the A220 will allow the airline to unlock destinations and route pairs that previously would have been considered non-viable. We look forward to our partnership with Green Africa and to accompany their development with the most efficient aircraft in its class”. The A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market; it delivers unbeatable fuel efficiency and widebody passenger comfort in a single-aisle aircraft. The A220 brings together state-of-the-art aerodynamics, advanced materials and Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines to offer at least 20 percent lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, along with significantly lower emissions and a reduced noise footprint.

AICD will provide a baseline against which future improvements in infrastructure services can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results achieved from donor support. It should also provide a more solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in the infrastructure sectors in Africa. AICD will produce a series of reports (such as this one) that provide an overview of the status of public expenditure, investment needs, and sector performance in each of the main infrastructure sectors, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. The World Bank will publish a summary of AICD’s findings in spring 2008. The underlying data will be made available to the public, through an interactive Web site, allowing users to download customized data reports and perform simple simulation exercises. QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. The first phase of AICD focuses on 24 countries that together account for 85 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), population, and infrastructure aid flows of Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo), Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

  • Nigeria Airways: the Grace and Grass Experience (A Case Study)
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 13; December 2014 Nigeria Airways: The Grace and Grass Experience (A Case Study) Oghojafor, Ben Emukufia Akpoyomare Faculty of Business Administration University of Lagos Lagos, Nigeria Alaneme, Gloria Chinyere Distance Learning Institute University of Lagos Lagos, Nigeria Abstract This paper reviewed the activities of the Nigeria Airways Limited from its glorious days to the time of its demise. The study is both a library as well field study implying that desk researches and interviews were conducted. The study is meant for the teaching and learning of cases for both under graduate and graduate students to elucidate some of the likely challenges to government run businesses like an airline. It is suitable for general management courses and management of public enterprises because it enables a discussion about administration and extent of governments’ involvement. The setting is a developing nation – Nigeria. The industry background before and after independence, and the transition within the Nigerian airways were examined. The study concluded by asking the students to make suggestions on whether or not there is need for a national carrier and what needs to be done to make it successful and competitive. Keywords: Nigeria, Nigeria Airways, Air transportation, Airline, National Carrier, Aviation 1. Introduction Air transportation in Nigeria like other African countries was a child of necessity during the British colonial rule as the need to reach out to other colonies including Nigeria by the British government became imperative. Nigeria just as other African countries created its government-owned national carrier to serve air transportation need of the country as well as that of other continental and intercontinental countries.
