Two companies bid to become the Brand New Air Traffic Control System prime integrator, FAA issues carry-on SAFO, 737 MAX production limits eased, P&W and GE adaptive cycle engines, Sikorsky contract for CH-53K helicopters, and Sergei Sikorsky passes away at age 100. Aviation News Two bidders vie to be project manager of massive FAA US air traffic overhaul Two bids to become the prime integrator in the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system have been received. Congress has approved $12.5 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The bids come from two DC Beltway companies: Peraton is a national security company owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. See the press release: Peraton Offers the FAA a Brand New Approach for Its Revolutionary ATC Modernization Initiative. Parsons Corporation is a technology provider in national security and global infrastructure markets. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Parsons confirmed it has bid with IBM. The FAA says it will make a selection by the end of October. FAA urges airlines to discourage passengers from taking bags during evacuations The FAA issued Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 25003, PDF) titled “Addressing Risk Associated with Passenger Non-Compliance and Retention of Carry-On Baggage and Personal Items During Emergency Evacuations.” The SAFO “Serves to emphasize the operational and safety-critical importance of strict passenger compliance with crewmember instructions during emergency evacuations. Specifically, it addresses the adverse effects of passengers attempting to evacuate with carry-on items, which can significantly impede evacuation procedures and increase the potential for injury or fatality.” FAA Signals Easing of Oversight on Boeing Jets The FAA is expecting to restore Boeing's ability to conduct safety sign-offs on new 737 MAX jets. Final airworthiness certificates will continue to be issued by the regulator The FAA is also considering increasing Boeing's 737 MAX production cap from 38 to 42 planes per month. Engines for America's F-47 Sixth Gen Combat Aircraft Coming Together Faster Than Expected The F-47 is being developed as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family of Systems. It's a stealthy air superiority aircraft that can directly engage adversaries on the ground and in the air. It will be able to fly itself as well as collaborate with and control wingman drones. The propulsion system being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program is a concept that offers two modes of operation, which can be dynamically adjusted in flight: high thrust and high speed, and lower thrust with reduced fuel burn. Adaptive cycle engines can modulate the bypass ratio and fan pressure using a third air stream and advanced variable geometry components. Both Pratt & Whitney and General Electric are developing NGAP engines. Airbus, Air France reject blame over AF447 crash, 16 years on Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic in 2009. In a 2023 trial, the judge found acts of negligence by Airbus and Air France, but determined that, under French criminal law, these acts were insufficient to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both Airbus and Air France were cleared of corporate manslaughter. In an appeals hearing, the two companies pleaded not guilty. Air France and Airbus chief executives recognized the suffering of the families, but denied any criminal responsibility for the crash. Appeal hearings are expected to run until late November 2025. Sikorsky to Build 99 CH-53K King Stallions for the U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky announced the award of a $10.8 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps over the next five years.

Episode 111: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Ian Wenik, Editor at Citywire and one of the sharpest reporters covering the RIA space. While many firms rely on market performance to maintain their numbers, Ian sheds light on what truly differentiates the fastest-growing RIAs. From niche strategies and referral networks to the big M&A moves reshaping the industry, Ian shares insights from Citywire's 50 Growers Across America and why organic growth is the real differentiator. He also unpacks the pressures of private equity ownership, the challenges of succession, and what the endgame looks like for mega firms. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:46) - Ian's money moment (04:01) - What sets the fastest-growing RIAs apart (07:55) - The future of inorganic growth and M&A trends (10:45) - The challenges of the IPO market for large RIAs (17:15) - Why Ian compares the industry to a fancy beach house (22:06) - Innovative growth programs and strategies (24:19) - Challenges for America's fastest-growing RIAs (25:47) - Ian's thoughts about trends and the future of the industry (31:17) - Ian's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Organic growth is harder—but more sustainable—than most advisors realize. Many RIAs rely heavily on market appreciation to appear successful, but Ian underscores that true, organic growth takes significant investment and intentional strategy. The fastest-growing firms often succeed by identifying niche markets, building strong referral networks, and developing internal training programs to cultivate talent from within. Talent is the real differentiator (and how you develop and retain it). In a competitive, consolidating market, your ability to recruit, train, and retain top talent matters more than ever. Firms that provide clear career paths, equity ownership, and operational roles for junior staff—not just rainmakers—will be best positioned for long-term success. Quotes "Momentum generates momentum. Deals generate deals. Once you have a track record of being able to integrate a firm, keep clients on board, and keep the advisors happy, you're going to have those bankers who handle sell-side engagements trust you with more deals." ~ Ian Wenik "What's driving so much of the M&A in the industry right now is time. A lot of the big firms sell because they have succession planning needs. Or if you're already an institutionally-backed firm, you're in the market because you're a private equity owner, and you have an expiration on that play clock." ~ Ian Wenik "The dirty secret of the RIA industry is that many firms don't grow at all. They don't grow organically. It's the market appreciation that's propping them up." ~ Ian Wenik Links Ian Wenik on LinkedIn Citywire Newsday The Deal Alex Steger Alec Rich Carson Group Hightower Advisors Wealth Advisor Solutions Schwab Advisor Network FINTRX Ulrich Investment Consultants Allworth Financial Wealth Enhancement Creative Planning CI Financial Corient LPL Financial Cetera Financial Group Osaic The Unlock Michael Batnick Moneta Group Alaska Wealth Advisors Angie Herbers Cerity Partners Genstar Capital Steward Partners Morgan Stanley Merrill Lynch UBS Goldman Sachs Summit Trail Advisors BBR Partners Ameriprise Financial Edelman Financial Engines Mariner Wealth Advisors Savvy Wealth Dakota Wealth Management The Fund Great Leap Forward Mao's Great Famine Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube

We tackle Chris Paul's “floor general” approach to offense and the pros and cons of how he pressured defenses (and his turnover suppression). Also, how did he change defensively from 2008 in New Orleans to his Clippers tenure? Where does he rank among small defenders?
