HUMAN FACTOR NEWSLETTER

At Mid Island’s April 2009 Monthly Safety Seminar we were glad to have Roger Hughes come to talk to us about safety and the human factor. It was a great seminar, tieing into our Mid Island safety culture which includes supporting the FAA WINGS Program and Mid Island’s Personal Limitations Checklist. Roger is recently retired from JetBlue Airways and has created a new Aviation Human Factors Industry Newsletter. If you would like to subscribe, please send him an email at rhughes@humanfactorsedu.com.
