February 2025 Flight Lines highlights important developments in the Colorado Pilots Association, including a significant policy shift regarding member privacy and directory access. President Adrian Nye discusses the new opt-in directory system being implemented to address concerns about member information being used by airport opponents, as well as the re-launch of the Social Committee as “Group Activities” to organize educational and social events. The newsletter also announces two major national aviation conferences coming to Denver in March for the first time: Redbird Migration 2025 and the Women in Aviation International conference.
The newsletter covers a range of aviation topics relevant to Colorado pilots, from infrastructure updates at local airports to scholarship opportunities and volunteer opportunities at upcoming conferences. Notable among these is the CPA’s partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation to co-exhibit at the Women in Aviation International conference, where volunteers are needed to staff the booth.
