Executive Aviation history

In 1993, the Cessna Citation X takes to the skies to become the fastest private jet, traveling at a speed of Mach 0.935.

NetJets sold one-eighth shares equivalent to about 500 flight hours a year--on a Cessna Citation S2, this cost $330,000 in 1994.

Called 'the most astute investor of the 20th century,' and the world's second richest man after Bill Gates, Buffett had been an avid EJA customer since 1995.

The company had about 400 employees overall at the beginning of 1996.

A joint venture with Boeing Business Jets and GE was announced in October 1997.

In June 1998, FAA began testing a new compensation plan called core compensation, which replaced the traditional grade and step base pay method with a structure of pay bands, the value of which were determined by comparison with similar jobs in government and private industry.

NetJets Europe had 40 customers and ten planes in April 1999; by the end of the year, it had 70 customers and 17 planes.

On April 23, 2000, FAA transferred approximately 6,500 employees into the core compensation system.

It launched gatherings in 2001.

In June 2003, FAA selected its first ATO Chief Operating Officer (COO), Russell Chew.

The ATO officially began operations on February 8, 2004.

In line with other agency efforts to improve efficiency, in December 2005, the COO restructured ATO administrative and support functions in the field.

In June 2006, he instituted a new ATO Service Center structure.

With the ATO structure in place, the agency's first COO resigned from FAA on February 23, 2007.

In 2008, the ATO consolidated the service units and staff offices into four business units, each led by a senior vice president.
