Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

A year ago, the commercial aviation engine community was unsure whether Airbus or Boeing would commit to selecting replacement engines for the A320 and 737 families before 2011-12. Then the date was pushed forward to sometime this year. The industry was looking for first announcements at July’s Farnborough air show. Now it looks like Airbus will act in April.

Boeing is leaning toward upping production of its 777 widebody jet, a move that would at least partially roll back an 11-month decision to cut output in response to a severe downturn in the global airline industry. James Albaugh, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), says Boeing will decide in April whether to build more 777s and indicated that a go-ahead was likely. “I think there’s a very good chance that we’ll raise the production rate on the 777,” he told reporters during a March 17 roundtable in Arlington, Va.

There was a brief show of bipartisan unity earlier this year on Capitol Hill, but it was hardly uplifting. Democrats and Republicans joined forces in the Senate to shoot down a bill that would have created a task force to draw up options for reducing the federal budget deficit. The proposal would have put lawmakers on the spot by requiring them to vote for both spending cuts and tax increases. A few days later, President Barack Obama unveiled a Fiscal 2011 budget request that envisions another $1.3 trillion in red ink, raising the federal debt above $15 trillion.
