Wishing you all the best! Enjoy your time with family and friends! I'm grateful I've experienced your leadership! I loved your answer in Leadership Lounge - first of all you actually did answer the question -  directly, to the point; and second, the way you answered - as if it was said in a math class, laying out a proof. It seriously brought some nice memories of my college real analysis class:)!

Mike - for me personally a circle closes with your retirement. My career started more than 15 years ago, when I developed the first synthetically generated Airport Fam. You and other key stakeholders were my audience and I was impressed by your openness, care, listening and mentoring capabilities for 'little Nico' already at this time. Now, you have been again a mentor for me on your last mile. I feel honored by being mentored by one of the big "Jeppesen Dinos" - and I mean this with a lot of respect for your work . I enjoyed the collaboration with you throughout the years and especially in the last year. Hard to imagine Jeppesen without Cpt. Abbott. I'll miss you! Enjoy your retirement, well start your familiarization this Saturday. ;-) But you are well prepared, you are a pilot, who knows to familiarize. All the best. Nico

Mike,

Congratulations on your retirement! Working with you these past 10 months has taught me a lot more then what I could have in years. You have done so much for this organization with your drive, knowledge and dedication. I am truly thankful I was able to work with you. You have inspired each and everyone of us everyday. You will be greatly missed! Now you can reflect back on all your accomplishments and enjoy your new beach front property with your family!

Now it's time to CELEBRATE!

Cheers,

Jessica Thompson

Congratulations! And here is the challenge for your retirement: "Als ich die Neuigkeiten hörte war ich etwas neidisch. Denn auch ich würde zu gerne die nächsten Jahrzehnte bereits jetzt zu Hause und auf Reisen genießen ;-) Nichtsdestotrotz, ich wünsche Dir alles erdenklich Gute und viel Gesundheit für die nächste Zeit im Ruhestand. Es waren tolle 18 Jahre miteinander bei Jeppesen und Boeing. Wann immer Du und Familie in Frankfurt seid, ihr seid jederzeit herzlich willkommen bei uns zum Grillen & `nem lecker deutschen Bier’chen."
Beste Grüße - ti.

Hard to believe the time has come to say farewell! You’ve been part of my Jeppesen/Boeing experience for nearly my entire career here! It’s been such an honor and a pleasure to work with you. I learned so much supporting you as the Data Solutions deputy and I will always treasure the experience.

You’ve been a fantastic boss and a great mentor. You will be remembered for your hard work, steady hand, commitment to quality and your dedication to the aviation industry.

Wishing you safe travels and all the best in your retirement.

Mike,

Congratulations!

I've enjoyed working with/for you, as well as knowing we both appreciate Anthony Bourdain. Every time I watch one of his old shows (which is often), I think of you. I can just picture him sitting with you on your beach enjoying some good food (and drink of course), and where the sharing of amazing stories and observations about life has been going on for hours.

Congrats again.

Mike,

The aviation community has benefited immensely from your vision and leadership over your many years of service.  I personally thank you for your direct leadership that I have grown to admire these past 4 years, and appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to glance at the complex world of the Data Solutions portfolio.  Your legacy will continue with the strong team you ensembled and the vision you established and pushed all to strive for.

I wish you luck, good health, and safe travels in your next adventure as you journey into retirement.  I'm sure the beach in Virginia will be welcoming and provide well deserved relaxation.

Take care,
Josh H.
