Statement by AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey

January 28, 2010

Arlington, VA -

We’re very pleased that President Obama is making it a priority this year to double exports, enforce trade agreements and reform export controls consistent with national security. Trade expansion and export control modernization are longtime priorities of AIA and recognition of their importance by the President sets a positive tone for action this year.

In particular, we’re looking forward to seeing the recommendations from the interagency working group that he established in August to undertake a comprehensive review of the U.S. export control system. Reforms of the system will grow high-skill, high-wage jobs, keep America’s defense industrial base competitive and sustain its ability to provide America’s military and our close allies with the best technology at the best price.

Among the notable omissions in the speech was any mention of aviation. In particular, the Next Generation Air Transportation System that will transform the way Americans travel as we replace the 1950s era radar-based system with a precision satellite-based system. It is infrastructure that is a major catalyst for jobs and should be included in any jobs bill.

AIA is squarely on the record with the facts: The total number of direct and indirect jobs generated by an approximate $6 billion investment in NextGen equipment is more than 150,000 through 2012, with 30,000 jobs generated the first year. According to our research, there are already 2,436 manufacturing, maintenance and installation facilities operating in every state of the union. Investment in NextGen will add more jobs to these already established and productive facilities.

Another notable omission was NASA and the future of our manned space program. While President Obama stressed the importance of technology and education to our competitiveness and economy, NASA is a key contributor to those fundamentals for our nation. A robust and well-funded space effort that includes a program of manned exploration beyond Low Earth Orbit is a wonderful source of inspiration for America’s youth to pursue high level science and technical education and careers. We must reach for the stars to provide that inspiration.

Finally, the President’s recognition of the need for small businesses to obtain credit is welcomed by all AIA members, but particularly by our smaller suppliers who have been stymied in their efforts to invest and innovate by a weak credit market. This, along with the tax proposals, will help small businesses boost our economy to health.

AIA News 2009
Aerospace Industry: An Economic Stimulus

“The aerospace industry is being overlooked as a job generator,” said Blakey. “Our benefits are global and don’t end at the water’s edge.”  In her remarks to nearly 400 members of the news media, government and industry at the Association’s 45th annual Year-end Review and Forecast Luncheon, Blakey said that investment in aerospace is a proven job and economic multiplier.

Estimates place the total number of direct and indirect jobs generated by an approximate $6 billion investment in NextGen equipment at more than 150,000 through 2012, with 30,000 jobs generated the first year.

“Government incentives for NextGen will allow the system to come online up to six years ahead of schedule,” continued Blakey. “Americans will start to enjoy travel again as the system becomes more efficient, and huge fuel savings will make us better stewards of the environment.”  In her remarks, Blakey also commended the new defense team for recognizing the importance of a DoD-industry partnership and for its commitment to minimize the adverse impacts of policy choices on the industrial base.
Expressing concern about the future of U.S. preeminence in space, she said that unless we increase NASA’s budget, we will be relying on the Russians for a ride to the International Space Station.

“That is not an exaggeration,” said Blakey, adding, “AIA is working on a proposal for a new strategy to shore up support for NASA and our long-term leadership in space.”
AIA launched the first-ever National Aerospace Day this year and is planning a week-long event in September 2010 that will broaden and amplify the message that aerospace directly benefits our economy, national security and workforce.

“Aerospace is very much about reaching for the stars,” said Blakey. “The innovation of aerospace pioneers runs like a strand of DNA down through history to our present-day pathfinders. I’m confident that our long-term outlook is bright.”

Here’s how our referral fee program works:

Employee /Candidate Referrals

At Agente Technical, we understand our employees are our most valuable asset. We partner with our employees to provide our clients with the best talent.

You are eligible to receive a fee of $500 if the person you refer is hired by our company and remains employed for at least 45 days.

Alternatively, if you have a friend or colleague who is seeking a job, please have them submit their resume to us. Be sure they mention that they were referred by you in order for you to receive credit for the referral when they are hired.

Client Referrals

You know of a company that is looking to bring in several contractors ?

Even better, you know the manager who is going to be doing the hiring for these positions. This manager can be at the company you currently work for, one at a former employer, or even just a friend or business acquaintance.

If you refer this manager to Agente – or refer Agente to the manager – and if as a result of this referral Agente ends up placing employees, you will receive a referral fee of $1500 after 45 days of placement.
