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.

Some Web sites still do not meet the U.S. Department of Transportation’s requirement for providing explicit information about the identity of code-share partners, despite new legislation adopted last August that clarified the requirements for Internet sales. In response, the DOT issued new guidance on the matter last month. Although the rule requires written notice of code-share service, the DOT had not pursued enforcement action in cases where an operating carrier’s corporate or other pertinent names appeared through a hyperlink or mouse rollover. Under the DOT’s new policy, explicit identification of a code-share partner must now appear on the same screen as the travel itinerary and “immediately adjacent to that itinerary and to each alternative itinerary, if applicable.” The DOT said it will begin enforcing the new rule on March 11.
