The Steel Advantage Team
Steel Aviation's rapid growth has forced Jaime to accept the fact that she cannot handle every detail herself. Jaime's main concern has always been that her clients get the level of service that she would provide to them if she could be in 10 places at once. Customer service is Steel Aviation's Foundation.
Because of Steel Aviation’s insight and the ability to listen to our clients needs, we have implemented a new program where Jaime and Steel Aviation have set the standard, to which everyone else in the industry will soon follow.
There are contact forms for you to fill out in order to get the process started. Rest assured, that filling out these contact forms, or picking up the phone will get you a rapid response from our team members. Below are the details of this exciting and innovative, new way to simplify and expedite the purchase or sale of your aircraft.
Fifty years ago, the purchase or sale of an airplane was a relatively simple process. Many times it was completed with a handshake or a simple one page contract. Today, the transactions are becoming more and more complex, with hundreds of loopholes and last minute details that need to be attended to. Contracts are multi-paged and can make the untrained professional's head spin.
The Concept
A missed detail or step can derail your transaction. That's why Steel Aviation is pioneering a new concept in brokering your plane: the multi-person plane brokerage team, better known as, "The Steel Advantage." The concept is simple. You would not want the surgeon operating on you to have to monitor your anesthesia, find their own surgical tools, and regulate your breathing machine while he or she is performing a delicate maneuver.
Ramifications Are Real
While a purchase or sale of a plane is not as life threatening, nor as complex as surgery, there are very real ramifications to your financial well being that could negatively affect you if something were to go wrong. You hire a realtor to sell your home, a lawyer to represent you in court, and accountant to assist you with tax issues. Aircraft sales and acquisitions are complex. Whether buying or selling, you owe it to yourself to consult the experts. "The Steel Advantage Team" are regarded by many in aviation as the "Top Guns" in this field.
The Team
As a former All American Athlete Jaime knows first hand the true value of being a team player. In business the words "team" and "success" are synonymous. That's why Jaime has assembled an elite, hand-picked team of her own to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks, and that no detail is missed in your very important transaction. Each member has a specific specialty and that's all they perform. They are highly trained in their respective field and you can be assured that your transaction will flow smoothly.
So relax! With Jaime coordinating this extremely well trained team of specialists, you will be assured of a smooth and enjoyable transaction.

Personally Jaime enjoys the outdoors, soccer, horseback riding, cars, and spending time in and on the water. She and her husband Danny adore their first child a beautiful little girl "Tenley Danielle" born late 2007 she is their pride and joy.

Sales specialist, Tim Pond, is the most recent arrival in Steel aviation’s hanger. Being the “old man” of our organization, Tim’s aviation experience spans the industry from aircraft manufacturing to flying as a line pilot with an airline.
Tim’s interest in aviation dates back to his childhood when his father, Dr. J.K. Pond, started flying. From his solo flight at age 16, he proceeded up the FAA certificate ladder to get the licenses needed to fly larger aircraft under more challenging conditions. While attending The Ohio State University, Tim added his instrument ticket followed shortly by a flight instructor rating and graduated with a BS degree in Industrial Design. Employment as a design engineer at Grimes Manufacturing and Fairchild Aircraft followed, advancing his understanding of aircraft construction and the business of aviation. Since 1985 Tim has been employed as a corporate pilot serving as a captain on the Hawker HS125, Cessna Citation 650 and 550. With nearly 10,000 hours logged in aircraft from the J3s to Hawkers Tim has the breath of knowledge and experience you can count on.
Tim brings to the table a deep passion for airplanes and the professionalism required to operate in the real world of aviation. This, in combination with his unquestionable honesty and integrity allow Tim to offer our clients the quality of service they have come to expect from Steel Aviation. |
