Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Under the deal, FlightSafety has agreed to provide Republic with pilot and maintenance training services for the Embraer E170, Embraer E190, Embraer ERJ-145 and Bombardier Q400 in St. Louis, Houston, Seattle and Toronto; it will also add simulators in Cincinnati, Ohio. A new E170 simulator in Cincinnati recently received level-D qualification from the FAA. The ERJ-145 and Q400 simulators also carry level-D qualification. FlightSafety plans to relocate an existing ERJ-145 simulator to Cincinnati later this year.
