APAAD VICTORY CELEBRATION AND ‘SUNSET’ GATHERING February 8, 2008
APAAD will hold an event the evening of February 8, 2008 to celebrate the change to age 65, as well as to witness the ‘sunset’ of APAAD operations. It is for everyone who contributed to the effort to change the 47-year-old Age 60 Rule.
We will gather at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. 40 rooms have been blocked at a special APAAD rate of $219. This block rate will be available until January 20th. Some rooms are being held for us on the 7th and 9th in case some attendees would like to come (or stay) an extra day.
You can access reservations at the following hyperlink to the Westin:

You can also call reservations at the hotel direct at (210) 224-6500. Be sure you mention APAAD to access the blocked room account.
Should you be #41 or above, the Westin will assist you in finding other accommodations. There are a number of fine hotels in the Riverwalk area, including a sister hotel owned by the Westin. As was the case at our Blitzes, it is always wise to book early.
Check-in is at 1500 and we will kick off our gathering at 1730. We’ll terminate at 2200, a time convenient to (weather permitting) spend some time down at the Riverwalk (and maybe have one more for old time’s sake).
We had hoped that APAAD would pay the full cost for the event but prudence demands that we not use APAAD funds. Each attendee is thus responsible for his or her own room cost. I’ll ‘front’ dinner and it would be mighty fine if you could pay me for your meal. Thanks in advance! A cash bar will be on hand to lubricate those who are slow-starters. Music will follow dinner.
February 8th thus ends ten years of effort on Capitol Hill under the APAAD banner. It was a long road and was only successful due to the collective efforts of those involved over those ten years.
The rule has been changed to give all Part 121 pilots a career extension of five years. It’s well worth a celebration and final gathering.
Please let me know of your intention to attend at ************** so we have some idea of what to plan for.
Hope to see you in San Antonio!
