  • A Publication for the Admiral Farragut Academy Community Winter 2014
    a publication for the admiral farragut academy community winter 2014 REVEILLE Winter 2014 a word from the director of naval science Reveille is designed to give all members of our community a quick glimpse of what Farragut is today, including highlights of Ready For Takeoff students, alumni, faculty and staff, past and upcoming events, and other important initiatives. “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” -- Leonardo Da Vinci Editor Jeff Ogden ‘00 When Da Vinci uttered this remarkable saying, it would Jessica Van Curen be close to 400 years before the Wright Brothers would take man’s first sustained journey into the air. While the Italian genius never experienced the taste of flight as Writer we know it today, he surely understood the true nature of its gift. Chris Girandola My journey into the air began with a dream, much like da Vinci. But once I took off for the first time in a Navy T-34 trainer at NAS Saufley Field in Pensacola, Contributors Florida in 1966, my heart was in the air until my last flight in a Marine AH-1 Cobra Robert J. Fine, Jr. attack helicopter flying over Kenya in a surreal trip chasing elephants, giraffes, Alison Lescarbeau gazelles, and alongside birds of all kinds. During my 32 years of military service, I was fortunate enough to be in the cockpit of nearly every type of Navy and Marine Design aircraft, make over 1,200 carrier arrested landings and command several different Angela Gazabon-Serje ships.

  • 2012-AIR-00014 in the Matter Of: ROBERT STEVEN MAWHINNEY
    U.S. Department of Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges 11870 Merchants Walk - Suite 204 Newport News, VA 23606 (757) 591-5140 (757) 591-5150 (FAX) Issue Date: 27 December 2018 CASE NO.: 2012-AIR-00014 In the Matter of: ROBERT STEVEN MAWHINNEY, Complainant, v. TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION LOCAL 591, Respondent. ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR DISPOSITIVE ACTION AND ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY DECISION This case arises under the employee protection provisions of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation and Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21), 49 U.S.C. § 42121 et seq. and its implementing regulations found at 29 C.F.R. § 1979. The purpose of AIR 21 is to protect employees who report alleged violations of air safety from discrimination and retaliation by their employer. Complainant, Mr. Robert Mawhinney, filed a complaint against American Airlines and Respondent, the Transportation Workers Union Local 591 (TWU). Complainant alleges he was “threatened, ignored, abandoned, and subjected to a hostile work environment” and ultimately terminated from employment on September 23, 2011, by American Airlines acting in concert with TWU.1 To prevail in an AIR 21 claim, a complainant2 must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he engaged in protected activity, and the respondent subjected him to the unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint because he engaged in protected activity. Palmer v. Canadian National Railway/Illinois Central Railroad Co., ARB No. 16-035, 2016 WL 6024269, ALJ No. 2014-FRS-00154 (ARB Sep. 30, 2016); §42121(b)(2)(B)(iii). 1 Mawhinney Complaint filed October 5, 2011 (2011 Complaint).
