I was born on an island and raised in China…

I'm married with two children. Enjoy getting exercise by weight lifting and playing basketball. Hobbies include flying radio controlled airplanes, and working on my lawn/landscaping.

While growing up in China I became fascinated with airplanes because I would see them flying over my house as they were on their way to spray fertilizer on the nearby rice fields. Just to let you know I am a native Texan… The island I was born on was Galveston Island… and I was raised in China, TX (near Beaumont, TX.)

I hired on at Southwest Airlines in May of 1997 and am currently a Structures Mechanic in the Heavy Maintenance Dept.

  “Continuing the Legacy of Aviation”

 

I had the pleasure of being a part of a wonderful aviation experience for students hosted by Southwest Airlines. We invited students from around the country to show them how our Company operates.

  Scheduled Maintenance

 

I would like to share a little bit of how our aircraft are scheduled for maintenance. We have over 500 aircraft in our system, and they all have to be maintained at some point during the day. Most of our aircraft fly around ten flights a day depending on the routes.

  Meeting Colleen

 

The first time I met Colleen was at our Maintenance hangar somewhere around late October or early November of 2003. She and Herb had come to our facility to accept a gift on behalf of the Mechanics.

  Charles E. Taylor

 

I would like to elaborate on a post I wrote for the blog a couple of years ago titled “Forget Me Not…” It was about recognizing Aircraft Maintenance Technicians during the month of May, in honor of the first aircraft mechanic, Charles E.
