When we founded EALBF with our European colleagues, we had in mind to create a way to have L&B officers and managers to meet, openly talk and exchange on their daily businesses. I actually found much more in the process: learn new approaches on things I had taken for granted, create and entertain a valuable network of useful contacts and settle things with people I had never been in contact with except through mails and phone calls! Always keep in mind that constantly people change, organizations evolve, processes are revised, A/C fleets are renewed. You never meet counterparts often enough. Organized around open forum sessions mixed with bilateral talks, EALBF is the most efficient way to explain how you work, learn how other airlines do, open talks, solve issues, grow your network, improve your knowledge and simply be part of a community happy to gather and welcome new members.
