 Celebrating a lifetime of work in the aviation field, George Perrin, senior manager of tech ops training, Spirit Airlines, was awarded the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award earlier this year. Recently, Perrin was the keynote speaker for MIAT College of Technology’s 2023 graduating class of the airframe and power plant program. He was presented the award at the graduation to illustrate that aviation industry can provide a long, rewarding career.
“Receiving the Charles Taylor Award is to me almost like an animation. It's like you don't really run a clock on yourself on how long you've been doing something in one area, until something like the Charles Taylor Award comes around. And to understand that it's been truly more than 50 years in the airline and the aviation industry is a dose of reality, a lot of years have passed. The Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award awarded by the FAA recognizes the lifetime accomplishments of senior aviation mechanics and is given to mechanics who have exhibited exemplary aviation expertise, distinguished professionalism, and steadfast commitment for at least 50 years of aviation maintenance experience. The award presentation is scheduled for August 2024 in Sebastian, Florida.
