I had the opportunity to fly with Art Octaviano when he worked at Speedbird Aviation in Ft. Wayne, IN. I’ve been employed as a captain with Superior Aviation (formerly known as Speedbird Aviation) for 14 years.
Art served as a First Officer and was always conscientious about his work. He was both reliable and effective as a pilot. Art was a very supportive, efficient crewmember in helping me with trip preparations. He always maintained a professional attitude when dealing with our passengers and made sure that they were always satisfied, happy and comfortable.
Art was always punctual, hard working and his contributions made every trip go smoothly. He always had a positive attitude and got along well with everyone in the flight department.
I believe that Art would make a valuable addition to any flight department. I am happy to give him my wholehearted endorsement.

Dear Prospective Employer of Arturo Octaviano,
I am pleased to offer my recommendation of Arturo Octaviano as a pilot for your company. I have known Arturo personally and professionally since 1979 when we both attended St. John’s Jesuit High School in Toledo, Ohio and worked together in the school’s work program for tuition credit (St. John’s Jesuit is one of the top high schools in the country for academics). In 2001 Arturo began receiving flight instruction from me and was an outstanding student who learned quickly and enthusiastically. I signed him off for his single-engine Commercial and Flight Instructor check rides (he passed both on the first attempt). Arturo then transitioned from student to valued colleague as he began flight instructing with me for the next few years.
As a flight instructor, Arturo was the epitome of professionalism and decency. Arturo possesses a calm, cool and calculating demeanor that is not only desirable but necessary for a pilot to function effectively in the cockpit and when dealing with passengers. He is forthright and honest and maintains an excellent sense of humor. I have no doubt that Arturo will be a motivated and effective pilot. I am pleased to encourage your consideration of Arturo and welcome any questions you may have.
Best regards,
David
