Intellectual Disarmament

[edit]

I noticed several news sites would cite Albaugh with the phrase Intellectual Disarmament. So on 09 November 2009, 15:45 PST, at the Boeing Everett, WA site, I asked Albaugh personally if he coined the phrase, and he confirmed.--Conrad Kilroy (talk) 04:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Additions to Correct Inaccuracies

[edit]
       Hello, my name is Erik Simonsen and I previously worked with Jim Albaugh at Boeing. I am very familiar with Jim Albaugh's aerospace career, having known him since he was an executive at Rockwell International's Rocketdyne Division. After December 1996, when The Boeing Company purchased Rockwell's Aerospace & Defense businesses, Jim Albaugh continued to rise within the executive ranks of Boeing. I retired from Boeing in 2012 and am currently an aviation photographer and author on the subject.
       I recently noticed some sections of the page that could be expanded upon and included those below for consideration. Additionally, I wanted to suggest some verifiable updates to the article for consideration to help present Jim Albaugh’s achievements in the aerospace industry. I understand my clear conflict of interest by working with Jim Albaugh, but thought these items were beneficial to the article and consistent with other aerospace executive profiles on Wikipedia. Below is an outline of the types of changes that could be made to update outdated or incorrect information:

· More information in the introductory section about Jim’s role at Boeing, such as his work overseeing the debut of the 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 jumbo jet and establishment of a 787 production site in Charleston, S.C. This section could also include Jim’s current positions. For example, he now serves as President of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and is Chairman of the National Aeronautic Association.

· The addition of “Early Life,” “Early Work,” “Current Work,” and “Awards and Recognitions” sections. These are typical of many biographic Wikipedia articles in the aerospace industry.

· “Early Life” could include updates to Jim’s hometown and education.

· “Early Work” could include Jim’s experience prior to Boeing, including his position as project engineer at Rockwell and as president of the Rocketdyne Division when the company’s aerospace and defense businesses were acquired by Boeing in 1997. This section could also include a “Boeing” sub-section with specifics about Jim’s various roles at the company. The “Boeing” section could have its own sub-section titled “787 Dreamliner Launch” to highlight Jim’s role in addressing the delayed introduction of the 787 Dreamliner.

· “Current Work” could include corrections to the original paragraph featuring Jim’s current work, such as adding his role as senior adviser to the Blackstone Group.

· “Awards and Recognitions” could include the information in the original awards and recognitions paragraph, along with updated recognitions, such as being an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering and receiving the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Wings Club.
