Airplanes don't break nine to five. We've gotta be ready with the right skill set, the right tooling, the right opportunities, the right people, the right training, the right location. When I come to work in the morning, I don't think about the time that's going past. What I think about is today and the future, the people who come to work with us, here at CVG. They've got the opportunity to work your entire thirty year career here at this location. The team dynamic here at CVG is absolutely amazing. I have never worked at a place where the people who work here are more so aligned with the goals and objectives of both the customer, the airlines, and the company When I first got here, I think we were probably doing maybe seven hundred flights a month. Now we turned over two thousand one hundred flights a month. Or hanger is full to capacity. The new hanger being built next door is coming online at exactly the right time. Forty million dollar building, twenty million dollars in materials and tooling. Millions of dollars worth of salaries coming forward. It's absolutely amazing to think how this piece of the theme CVG part is coming together at the exact time that we needed. So this is actually a hard hat site, so it can't actually go on the site without a hard hat. Gotcha. So I have my bump cap on which is what we mechanics to wear when they're when they're working on engines, let me bump their heads and just saw those guys working around those engines. I've never seen those. Wanna some, like, a lighter Yeah. So when you get out and you bump your head against the counter or something, you don't put a big hole on the on the side of your head. Right along here is the back side of the hanger. And behind here, you see a little bit of a driveway where we have some service vehicles pull up and some service entrances. It just started this about a week ago maybe eight days ago. So they got this piece up in less than a week. It's all the steels here for the facility. Laid in about the approximate location to where it's gonna go up into the infrastructure into the building. I like to take a picture once a week just to send it to the executives down on my so they see things are happening. You don't need to go try and find a video of what's going on with the operation. Kinda give them a little breakdown about how how how progress is going. And then I'm, you know, I'm interested in, you know, of the speed of, of the construction. One of the best ways to tell is when they're not working the weekends. They're not working the weekends. They're struck is on on on target. It's supposed to be up next February. I'm keeping track of how progress is progressing. I noticed that on Saturday and Sunday when I come out here, they're not working. So if they're not working on Saturday and Sunday, it tells me that they're they're ahead of progress or or they're on track to complete the hanger on time. So I'm pretty excited about this facility. You start to see this as visitors come into town. They see this going up. They know. It's just a matter of time before. We're moving This hanger is going to be a fantastic addition to this operation at CVG Airport.
