The Most Important Aviation Figure You May Not Know….and a Few Other Classy Folks
I got word yesterday that John Byerly will be retiring from the State Department later this year. You may not know him, but if you have ever flown outside the United States you likely have him to thank for the fact that you were able to go where you wanted to go, and that you were able to do it at a reasonable price. John is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Transportation Affairs. It may be difficult to remember, but a quarter century ago, almost all international air travel was so tightly regulated by a series of more than 1,000 bilateral agreements that any expansion of service (or in many cases reduction in price) had to be argued over route-by-route. This was done with the heavy involvement of mercantilist government and industry officials who were not keen to give an inch. But every administration since that of President George H.W. Bush has adopted a policy of promoting “open skies” agreements around the world. As laudable as this goal might be, it would not be possible if we didn’t have the right people in the right places negotiating these agreements. John is the right person, and he came along at just the right time. His mindset has always been focused on how to get things done, and that comes across to his counterparts across the table. One such is my good friend Daniel Calleja of the European Union. The agreements that John and Daniel have made to open service and competition across the Atlantic have been astounding, unthinkable only a few years before. John has truly made a difference. Vacations and family reunions and business deals and honeymoons have all occurred because of him. People are employed and jobs have been created because of him. He kept his eye on the big picture and made a difference for anyone involved in aviation. Even if you don’t know him, you should be thankful he came along…and join me in wishing him well in the next chapter of his life. While I have your attention, I want to mention a few other classy folks. And it won’t surprise you that they come from the world of sports. Ken Griffey, Jr
