A staunch pilot advocate, Sherry served on the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) Security Committee after 9/11 helping co-workers entangled in the TSA’s “no-fly list.” As Membership Chair, she established the revered Honor Guard program.  Fellow pilots quickly recognized her leadership skills electing her First Officer Representative for one of ALPA’s largest pilot bases.

Research Goals

In aviation, safety is the primary driving force of all research. Two years post-pandemic, presents the perfect opportunity to evaluate the industry’s actions and responses.

Just as with a pilot’s post-flight debrief, one must ask what we did right, what we could have been done better, and how we will improve in the future, as an industry.

Our Core Values

The quest for truth is our goal. This is a data-driven study, and the data must speak for itself.
