Brad Thress, who 14 months ago took over as FlightSafety International’s fourth president and CEO, told members of the Wichita Aero Club Tuesday that he’s committed to improving pilot training and making the company more efficient as it marks 70 years in business. It was Thress’s first public appearance in Wichita since taking on the post at FlightSafety last March, following his retirement from a 28-year career at Textron Aviation.
