Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Atlanta-based Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) last month launched a new code-share partnership with United Airlines covering flights into and out of Chicago O’Hare and Washington Dulles International Airports. ASA began the service with a February 11 flight between O’Hare and Columbus, Ohio. It now flies eight weekday flights from O’Hare and 15 weekday flights from Dulles using eight newly refurbished 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200s.
From Dulles, ASA now flies to former Mesa Air Group destinations Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Columbia, S.C.; Huntsville, Ala.; New York La Guardia and JFK Airports; Pensacola, Fla.; Roanoke, Va.; and Savannah, Ga. From Chicago, it flies to all those destinations except the two New York City airports, as well as to South Bend, Ind., and Rochester, N.Y. 
Under the terms of the deal with United, ASA will next add six more CRJ200s to the operation in May, bringing the average number of weekday flights to 90 and the total number of cities served by ASA in the United Express network to 21.
ASA recently opened a new domicile at Washington Dulles for 120 crewmembers and seven mechanics to support the operation.
