Please join me in congratulating Kyle Kaestner as the new Air Traffic Manager of Kansas City. Kyle joined the ARTCC in 2015 as an OBS and has since developed his career, serving on staff for the last 4 years, reaching the pinnacle today with his selection to ATM. Kyle brings years of experience and leadership to the table, and I'm excited to see the work he'll do in his new role.
Kyle takes the reigns from Rey Lopez, who last month announced his retirement. Besides being a good friend of mine, Rey was an invaluable asset to the team and his leadership will be missed. Congrats Rey! Thanks for your dedication to Kansas City ARTCC and the United States Division.
