Mineta named six new members to the MAC in late September. They are Angela Gittens, director of Miami International Airport; Alan Mulally, executive v-p of the Boeing Co. and president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes; David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue Airways; Robert Crandall, retired president and CEO of American Airlines; Paul Schoelhammer, retired partner/ director of government affairs at Zuckert, Scoutt and Rasenberger; and Jim Smith, executive director of Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport and a Peninsula Airport Commission member.
