  • Earlier this year, I had the privilege of visiting and touring the DaVinci Inflight Training Institute which is adjacent to the Ft. Lauderdale Executive airport. Besides being impressed with what I saw at this state of the art cabin crew member professional training facility, I had an enlightening sidebar conversation with Paula Kraft that made me ask, how soon can you be a guest on my show?

    Her awe-inspiring family aviation lineage along with her distinguished accomplishments in inflight catering and cabin crew member training will inspire anyone who likes cooking and traveling. Her extensive accomplishments range from world-class expertise in corporate inflight food service and corporate flight attendants services, to food safety management, handling, and mitigation. Paula is also the founder of Tastefully Yours Catering.

    DaVinci InFlight Training Institute covers everything from Culinary, Cabin Safety, and Elite Service Training, to Sommelier, Butler, and Aviation Security/Awareness Training.

  • Now here's an area of aviation that you don't hear talked about that often, even though it is an essential aspect of the industry. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to have a roundtable chat with a couple of seasoned aircraft sales professionals along with two relatively new young aircraft sales professionals, all of whom provided great insight.

    Given the great opportunities available in the industry today, it seemed more than appropriate and timely to check-in with the leadership and members of GLADA the Global Licensed Aircraft Dealers Association to get their perspective on this rewarding aviation career. A highlight was talking with the two young aviation professionals about their budding careers and the paths they took to get where they currently are.

    Joining me were Christina Blair, Operating Director, GLADA; Gary Anzalone, GLADA Board Member and Co-founder as well as the Co-founder and Managing Director of Equus Global Aviation; Danielle McCauley, Sales Executive, Equus Global Aviation and GLADA member; and Mitchell Flinn, Flinn Aviation, and GLADA member.
