AIN’s R. Randall Padfield interviewed Steve Taylor, the newest president of Boeing Business Jets, at the recent EBACE show.
From the article:
“How do you see your job as president of BBJ developing?
Boeing Business Jets tries to be the face of Boeing to business jet customers. That they picked me as Steve Hill’s replacement, I believe, reflects the fact that Boeing recognizes that BBJ is different from the other sales organizations within the company. We have our own dedicated field service staffers, people who are dedicated to fleet support, spare-parts people, procurement people. We have engineers that manage the configuration of the airplane. My role as chief pilot was to manage the flight deck, make sure that it had the latest possible avionics.
How will you travel to visit customers?
Primarily via airlines. However, I’m retaining my currency in the BBJ and will still serve as a captain in our executive flight operations group, so when my travel schedule coincides with other executive travel requirements, I’ll serve as a crewmember. I also plan to fly various customer demonstration flights, as well
as fly BBJs to the shows we attend.”
