WheelTug has announced that Randy Babbitt has joined the company’s board of directors.
Babbitt was an airline pilot for 25 years and served for 8 years as President of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the largest airline pilots’ union in the US and Canada.
He was named by President Obama as Administrator of the FAA, and later became Senior Vice President for Labor Relations at Southwest Airlines until his retirement.
“It is wonderful to add Randy to the WheelTug team,” said Isaiah Cox, the CEO of WheelTug. “He brings a wealth of industry and regulatory experience at precisely the right time for WheelTug, and we welcome him aboard.”
WheelTug is developing the WheelTug aircraft electric drive onboard system enabling aircraft to drive forward and backward on the ground, without using jet engines or tow tugs.
