Thank you note from our PMI of the FAA

Thanks to everybody in Vertical!

September 28, 2007

It is an honor to have worked with my native country and serve the Colombian airlines for a period of 22 months. It was not an easy task, but thanks to your professionalism, dedication and culture, changes were implemented for the future, for greater progress and more effectiveness, under better safety conditions following the regulations of the authorities of Colombia and the United States.

I am really satisfied with the work achieved; your team is now seen as a champion. I feel proud of having been your assistant. For me, the airlines and the Aerocivil of Colombia are a very special group working to achieve the same goal, "to serve the public under complete safety".

It was a pleasure to be its main inspector on the part of the Civil Aeronautical Entity of the United states.

There is no doubt that your company is one of safest in the world world.

Respectfully,

Carlos Montenegro
