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 September 2017 RUPANEWS President’s Letter Your RUPA Board of Directors would like to present the new RUPA Executive Committee for the 2017-19 term. The Board of Directors, by acclimation, has unanimously elected the following per our bylaws: President Bob Engelman, Florida Vice President Capt. John Gorczyca, California Secretary Treasurer Capt. John Rains, Vermont All of you are familiar with Bob Engelman and John Rains who continue on the executive committee. Our new V.P. John Gorczyca came to us with a most impressive resume including a Masters Degree, retired Lt. Colonel USAF serving in Vietnam and later as an Air Force One Support pilot at Addrews AFB, and a member of the Order of Daedalians. John retired from UAL in 2014 and immediately became involved with RUPA answering the call to form a new RUPA group east of Sacramento, now called the "Goldwingers." It is arguably one of the most active RUPA groups. John brings to RUPA high energy, volunteer spirit, respect and leadership skills that will assure our continued success into the future. Welcome aboard John! My term as RUPA President has come to an end and the organization is left in the able hands of the three fine gentlemen above. It has been a true honor and privilege to have manned the helm the past 2 years and hopefully RUPA has been left in as good a shape as when it was inherited from predecessor Jon Rowbottom. We have over 3,000 members and growing. There are several new robust lunch groups including a newly announced DFW group headed by Capt. Terry Blake. If you live in the DFW area please contact Terry at: 972-299-6883 [email protected]. Our new Facebook page seems to be popular with over 700 participants and growing daily. Dues have remained the same at an affordable $25 per anum. We have reestablished a dialogue with UA management with our quarterly meetings. We have a new Pass Travel advisor in Pat Palazzolo, which should be helpful with arguably our last real perk from UAL as retirees. We streamlined the RUPA email addresses so members do not have to update contact names with each change of command. Our web page is modernized and kept organized and up to date by web advisor Jon Rowbottom. That being said, the absolute bedrock of RUPA is all of you, our members, who attend or chair lunch groups, go on cruises, pay your dues on time and most importantly, send in your yearly "how goes it" to share with former colleagues. The much promised 2nd quarterly meeting with UAL management was finally held via conference call on 26 July. Incoming president Capt. Bob Engelman and RUPA Pass Travel Chairman Capt. Pat Palazzolo participating (yours truly was unable to attend due to "day job" obligation - flying). The executive committee would like to welcome our newest members: George W. "Bill" Carrington (SFO), Granite Bay, CA / Capt. Samuel V. "Sam" Frey (ORD), Golden, CO Capt. Larry A. Fuerst (ORD), Fennville, MI / Capt. Rolando "Roli" Hernandez (LAX), Yorba Linda, CA Capt. Stephen W. Ignatius (LAX), Tustin, CA / Capt. Kerry W. Parker (DCA), Alexandria, VA Capt .Fred W. Price (EWR), Plymouth, PA / Capt. Steve Silver (SFO active), Belvedere, CA Capt. Richard C. Weidenhaefer (EWR/JFK), Myrtle Beach, SC In closing, thank you all for the terrific support in the last 2 years. I cannot express the great honor it has been to serve as your RUPA President. Without the council of Jon Rowbottom, Cleve Spring, and Leon Scarbrough, Phyllis Cleveland, our "old guard" of RUPA, this job would have been all but impossible. I look forward to passing the baton to my good friend and right-hand man of the last two years, Bob Engelman, along with his new "copilot," John Gorczcya. It will be a nice respite relaxing a bit and reading, from cover to cover, the fantastic production of RUPANEWS from the sidelines. President Engelman has asked me to continue as our RUPA Facebook group moderator, which was gladly accepted. Hope to see some of you out on the road or in passing through an airline terminal somewhere on the vast UAL network. Until then, all the best. Warm regards, Cort September 2017 RUPANEWS 3 A letter from our new, incoming RUPA President you've all had a great summer, wherever you've spent it. While I didn't really leave the South Florida heat (But at least it's humid.), I did have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I got to take my son to the Major League Baseball All Star Game in Miami, in the air- conditioned comfort of Marlins Park. How could I pass that up? It's something he and I will always remember. By now you know who the new Executive Committee of RUPA will be for the next two years. I’m honored that the Board of Directors felt that I'm worthy of being your new President. Following Cort won't be easy. He's continued the great tradition of our organization with true class, and also added a new way for us to stay in touch by establishing a Facebook page. He helped open a new dialogue with United senior management, and has kept former RUPA Presidents Jon Rowbottom and Phyllis Cleveland gainfully occupied with our website and Eblasts. He twisted the arm of Pat Palazollo to do what he did for twenty years for the UAL MEC as our resident pass travel expert. I can't forget to mention that our incredible RUPANEWS editor, Cleve Spring, has continued to make this a fantastic publication, and that John Rains has taken the bull by the horns and is doing way more than I'll bet he ever envisioned in succeeded Leon Scarbrough, our long time Secretary/Treasurer. They never cease to amaze me with the work they do. Larry Whyman doesn't get nearly enough mention as our Membership Chairman.

The consultation, which ran from 9 April 2009 to 31 July 2009, concerned whether an airport is the most appropriate option for access to St Helena in the current economic climate. It was carried out in accordance with the criteria of the Government’s Code of Practice on Consultation. 2. The Government retendered the contract to design, build and operate an airport for the island in May 2007. Since then the financial climate has changed. The cost of the airport is considerably higher than anticipated, economic conditions in the UK demand review of short term spending priorities; and the value of the international development budget (from which financial support to the Overseas Territories is funded) has dropped in many countries, while urgent new pressures for aid have arisen.
