New Execs Come From Delta, Pratt & Whitney
UAL Corporation, parent company of United Airlines, named
Michael Quiello, vice president of corporate safety, security,
quality and environment, and Mark Mounsey, vice president of base
maintenance for United Services this week.
With almost 28 years of safety and flight operations experience,
Quiello was most recently vice president of safety for Delta. At
United, Quiello will be responsible for managing all aspects of
corporate safety, security, environment and regulatory compliance,
and will oversee United's corporate emergency response programs and
internal evaluation programs.
Quiello (shown at center) succeeds Bill Yantiss, who after
almost 20 years with United is retiring, having held a variety of
senior positions within the safety division, including a
significant role in implementing United's industry-leading Flight
Operations Quality Assurance program and Aviation Safety Action
programs.
Throughout Quiello's career at Delta, he served in several
safety and flight operations roles and currently serves on the Air
Transport Association Safety Committee and on the Board of
Governors of the Flight Safety Foundation. He has held the role of
chief technical pilot, chief pilot at New York's LaGuardia and
Kennedy airports and director of fleets. He was qualified as a
captain on various aircraft, including the McDonnell Douglas 88,
Boeing 757, Boeing 767 and Boeing 777. Quiello is a former U.S.
Marine Corps officer and a graduate of the U.S. Navy Flight
School.
Mounsey (below), who joins United after a 20-year career at
Pratt & Whitney, will be responsible for engines, components
and airframe and facilities maintenance at United's San Francisco
Maintenance Center, as well as oversight for maintenance performed
by third-party maintenance providers. Mounsey was most recently
general manager of Pratt & Whitney's world-class and largest
engine overhaul center in Cheshire, CT responsible for the repair
and overhaul of engines for more than 30 airlines. He is also a
recognized leader and passionate advocate of continuous
improvement, lean manufacturing and effective visual factory tools
and practices.
"Captain Quiello brings to United a depth of experience that
will build on our commitment to integrate safety into every aspect
of what we do, and we also look forward to Mark joining our
leadership team in San Francisco with his eight years of experience
running world-class engine maintenance operations," said John
Tague, executive vice president and chief operating officer.
"United is recognized within the industry for our work on safety,
and we thank Bill for his leadership and commitment to implementing
and sharing best practices and wish him well in his
retirement."
Quiello will report to John Tague and Mounsey will report to Jim
Keenan, senior vice president - Maintenance. Both appointments are
effective Jan. 12.
