Jeff Gilmer – 1997 Graduate

Hi, sorry I have not been diligent about updating you on my career. You might know that I was given opportunity to test for Airline Transport Supervisor (ATS) rating. I passed it back in 1998 and am currently studying for both advanced ground school instructor certificate and my regional dispatch examiner rating. Both of these with the encouragement and blessing of the local head of the FSDO! I am currently the only dispatch check airman and ATS at ———- Airlines. I am also # 2 in seniority. Thank you that you took time to help and encourage me while I was studying there. Encourage others that you don’t have to busting out the top of the class to be successful out here. Each person learns differently, thank you for seeing that in me. I am grateful that (our manager) has made you the primary source of new hires. I think Frank (while he was here) and my constant drumming of the Sheffield tune has brought you into the spot light. Really its the high quality people that outshines any PR work on my part.

Thanks again, I hope you all are doing well. God Bless.

Yours Truly,

Jeff Gilmer
1997 Graduate

    “I wanted to tell you I got the job offer from Expressjet, and start next month! I think a couple others from class were hired as well. It just shows the Sheffield reputation when I see graduates from other schools complaining that they can’t get an interview – I wasn’t even back home to Minneapolis […] Dan Gustafson
