W W Boisture, Jr, a former president of NetJets, has joined US private equity giant The Carlyle Group as a senior advisor to the aerospace and defence team. Boisture will help identify attractive investments in the aerospace, defence and business services sectors. He will also provide management, industry and marketing guidance to existing portfolio companies.
Prior to joining NetJets, Boisture served from 1994 to 2003 at General Dynamics Corporation in several senior capacities.
From 1991 to 1993 Boisture was president of British Aerospace Corporate Jets, and from 1989 to 1991 he was chairman and chief executive officer of Butler Aviation, predecessor company to Signature Flight Services. He also served in senior capacities at Skyworld/Ports of Call Airlines, Simuflite Training International and Candair (predecessor company to Bombardier Aerospace).
Boisture was a fighter pilot in the US Air Force and was honourably discharged as a major after 11 years of service.
Peter J Clare, Carlyle managing director and head of the Aerospace, Defense & Business Services team, said, 'Bill knows aerospace and defence literally inside and out, which will be a great asset to Carlyle and our portfolio companies. From his days as an Air Force fighter pilot to his experience running aviation manufacturing and service companies, his experience gives him exceptional insights into market trends and customer needs.'
Boisture is on the board of directors of the Association of Graduates of the Air Force Academy, a trustee of the Falcon Foundation and a member of the World Presidents Organization.

I was listening to a senior negotiator at NJA. He said he was in the the negotiating room when the turning point in the 05 negotiations happened. That was when Moisture realized that the nja pilots where ready to burn the place down rather than take the company offer/continue with the 98cba. FLOPS pilots will not get a contract until then make managment realize they are ready to burn the place down..
