### By Order 2014-12-8, issued December 12, 2014, the Department directed all interested persons to show cause why we should not make final our tentative findings and conclusions that Sky King, Inc. ("Sky King"), is a U.S. citizen and fit, willing and able to resume interstate and foreign charter air transportation ofpersons, property and mail. Objections to the show cause order were due on December 19, 2014. No objections were received. On December 15, 2014, Sky King provided a supplemental filing in which it identified two changes in its key technical personnel since the filing ofits application to resume operations. Specifically, Mr. George L. Semak: replaced Alan Brandon as Sky King's Director ofOperations and Mr. Gilmer Carter replacedElizabeth Sukie as the air carrier's Director ofQuality Control.
Mr. George Semak, anAirline TransportPilotwith more than 15,000 total flight hours, was hired as Sky King's Director ofOperation in September 2014. Prior to this, he was employed at ExpressJet Airlines as an Embraer 145 Simulator Instructor (2012-2014), as Senior Director of Flight Operations (2001-2011), as ChiefPilot (1999-2001), and as ATR Fleet Manager (1998-1999). Mr. Semak: has also previously been employed by DHL Aviation as General Manager and Director of Operations (1992-1998); by Transworld Express as Director ofFlight Operations (1992); and as ATR Fleet Manager (1990-1992); by Pan Am Express as ChiefPilot (1987-1990); and by Summit Airlines in various positions of increasing responsibility, including Chief Pilot and Director of Operations (1978-1987). Mr. Gilmer Carter was hired as Sky King's Director of Quality Control in November 2014. He holds an Airframe and Powerplant license issued by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and has more than 28 years ofexperience performing aviation maintenance. Prior tojoining Sky King, Mr. Carter was employed by MidAir USA, a Part 145 Repair Station, as Program Manager (2011-2014). Mr. Carter was also previously a part-owner ofFMS Airspares, a Part 145 Repair Station, where he served as Vice President and General Manager (2007-2011). Before this, he was employed by Stambaugh Aviation, a Part 145 Repair Station, as Director ofQuality Control (2005-

### 2 2007), and by US Airways in various aviation-maintenance positions of increasing responsibility (1986-2005). Sky King states that each ofthe above key personnel are citizens ofthe United States; neither has been involved in any accident or incident inthe year preceding its application or at any time in the past which remains under investigation by the FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board, or the company itself; and there are no pending investigations, enforcement actions, or formal complaints filed by the Department against them. Moreover, Sky King states that neither Mr. Semak: orMr. Gilmer have any outstandingjudgments issued againstthem, norhave any charges of fraud, felony or antitrust violations, or ofunfair, anticompetitive, or deceptive business practices filed against them in the past 10 years. Furthermore, Sky King notes that the FAA, who conducts its own evaluation ofthe technical skills and qualification ofSky King's key technical personnel, has approved bothMr. Semak: and Mr. Gilmerto holdtheirrespectivepositions.
In light ofthe above, we find that Sky King continues to be a U.S. citizen and fit, willing, and able to resume interstate andforeign charter airtransportation ofpersons, property, and mail.
