Millennial and Gen-Z Interns – YUCK? NOT HARDLY! / By Abdol Moabery

Millennial and Gen-Z Interns – YUCK? NOT HARDLY! / By Abdol Moabery

Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with the 2018 Intern Class at GA Telesis.  This is an annual thing we do where they get to spend some time with me, talk about what they have learned, ask questions of me and let’s remember they are young students – so there is nothing like a free lunch. With all that is being said about the work ethic and philosophy of Millennials and Generation Z… Read more

Enthusiasm / By Nigel Christie

Enthusiasm / By Nigel Christie

Enthusiasm – Definition (Oxford English Dictionary) “Intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval”   When I started my career in the aviation industry I never imagined that after 35 years, I would still approach every day with the same sense of excitement and enthusiasm as I did when I started.  At GA Telesis, that same enthusiasm is shared within the entire organization starting with our CEO and founder, Abdol Moabery.  He epitomizes the word and… Read more

The importance of culture in EurAsia and the Levant is very important in relationship creation and network formation.  This region will account for a large portion of new global aviation purchasing power. In a market with the world’s largest population that consists of all of the… Read more

Risk Mitigation is the Solid Foundation at GA Telesis to Ensuring a Positive Flying Experience / By Pastor Lopez

During a speech in 2005 before the Metropolitan Club in New York City, William R. Brody, then-President of John Hopkins University also an MIT graduate, remarked that “risk is an intrinsic element of our daily lives. Every day, millions of people are playing games of chance… If you look behind the discoveries that have made America great, you find people who were willing to risk it all for success, and many more who failed trying.”… Read more

Getting Beyond YES in Aviation / By Basil Papayoti

Getting Beyond YES in Aviation / By Basil Papayoti

I was just a pup in the early 90’s when I had the opportunity to work for Aviall, which, at the time, was one of the most formidable independent MROs of its time. I was fortunate enough to be led and mentored by some of our industry giants, who later laid the foundation and led Delta Air Lines to becoming one of the most admired airlines in our industry; let alone one of the most… Read more

Experience: There is No Substitute / By Marc Cho

Experience: There is No Substitute / By Marc Cho

I have been fortunate to work with some amazing professionals across a spectrum of institutions over the first 20 years of my career in aviation. While it is cliché to say there is no substitute for experience, I have come to appreciate that adage even more since joining GA Telesis. Over the past five years, it has become very evident that investor interest in the aviation sector has never been stronger and new capital continues… Read more

The Aviation Industry is at Home in the State of Florida / By Abdol Moabery

The Aviation Industry is at Home in the State of Florida / By Abdol Moabery

While flying home from a business trip a few days ago, I ran into a few industry colleagues which led me to think about the vast amount of aviation companies based in the state of Florida. Then I wondered about the level of the aviation industry’s impact on the state of Florida’s commercial and industrial infrastructure. After a little research, I learned that the aviation and aerospace industry has long been a key driver of… Read more

Over the last 19 years, I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented and professional people in the aviation industry. They come from all ranks such as visionary leaders, office personnel, warehouse staff, and legends in the industry. Through all of the trips to the office, travels to meet with customers, and meetings at conferences, I am never short of awe as to the talent and hard work that people… Read more

You Plan Your Holiday, Why Not Your Career? / By Jeffery Kramer

You Plan Your Holiday, Why Not Your Career? / By Jeffery Kramer

From my almost twenty years of experience in publicly traded and private companies, there is one thing I have found in common. Most companies stop hiring around the holidays and it takes them several months to get going after the new year. While most businesses are in the middle of a hiring freeze for the holidays or are ready to close their books for the year, we are in full swing looking forward to making someone’s… Read more

Meeting with Mr. Green / By Abdol Moabery

I was just asked an interesting question. Hopefully, after reading below you will decipher what the question was. It was Friday, May 10, 1996, payday. I remember the day vividly. After spending the previous few weekends rummaging through pawn shops for a set of good cheap golf clubs to learn the game, I realized that fate was not on my side. Remember, for all intents and purposes, these were pre-internet shopping days and the thought of buying… Read more
