The simplicity of the JetSocks System seemed to catch most people we met at the RAA Convention a little off guard. It’s not often that a new product is introduced in this industry that is so fundamentally, well, simple. In discussions between convention days, Damon and I were actually thinking of ways to complicate things in order to stimulate longer Q & A sessions with potential customers. We were able to laugh with a few of you about this and were forced to explain that JetSocks really is this simple. More than once, a new contact finally shrugged his shoulders and enjoyed the fact that JetSocks may be the one product made for airplanes that is just plain easy. I assure you that simplicity is the end to which we work on your behalf every day. We want JetSocks to be the one aspect of your winter operations on which you can rely every morning.
At the conference, we also learned more about the way operators look at their day-to-day operations in winter months. During one conversation, somebody made a statement that stuck with me. When asked by a co-worker how much money he thought they wasted each year on de-icing, one man simply replied, “It depends on how bad a winter we have.†This is one of the most important things that the JetSocks System addresses: unpredictability. Allowing operators to reliably get more winter originators out on time provides them tremendous control over an aspect of daily operations that was unheard of until now. You know the impact a late originating flight has on the day’s schedule. Now envision a scenario in which you have more aircraft in position, fewer displaced passengers and crews, maximization of duty times, saved fuel, improved maintenance costs, and you are able to wave as you pass the competition languishing in line for the de-ice pad while your flight leaves as scheduled.
A quick note about the environment: environmental concerns grabbed more attention at the conference than we expected. The traveling public increasingly expects our industry do more to protect the areas in which we operate. In addition to the cost savings, JetSocks provides dramatic environmental benefits including radically reduced levels ADF and less fuel burned by both aircraft and GSE. Plus, JetSocks are made from a 100% recyclable material. You CAN be Green. We think you should brag about it.
If we missed you at the conference or if you have additional questions, send us an email or give us a call. We look forward to cultivating all of the relationships we started and we hope you will be in touch and allow us to help you save money. Take control of your winter operations. Do it with JetSocks.
