As the industry was basking last month in news that business aircraft deliveries last year were up 16 percent and total billings up more than 19 percent, NBAA’s 16th Annual Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference was holding its biggest show ever.

“Flight departments used to consider sending someone to the conference a perk,” said Schedulers & Dispatchers Committee outgoing chairwoman Susan Ramsey.
“Now they’re looking at the conference as a training resource and they’re sending more new people.” One major flight department sent five people to the conference, and at least a dozen flight department managers felt the conference was sufficiently important for them to attend.
