Golden Touch Limo
During
the past few months, Delta and ALPA performed a review of Golden
Touch Limo, serving our New York markets. I am covering this, as
it relates to our transportation problems in general, to help answer
some questions, and to show the extra effort some companies, like
Golden Touch, put forth to improve service.
During
the Golden Touch review, we met with the owners of the company,
the head of operations, the head of security, the head of maintenance
and many of the important personnel at various key points in their
operational network. All their vans, cars and buses are equipped
with GPS, a communication computer, two-way radio, beeper with visual
display and cell phone. The vehicles are tracked on a large map
of the New York area, pinpointing the exact location of any vehicle
at any time. Traffic monitoring programs continually evaluate routes
back and forth from the airports to the hotels in the event of accidents,
construction, or closures. All their drivers go through background
checks, drug and alcohol testing and a drivers training course.
All vehicles meet tight maintenance checks and all are replaced
after three years.
Golden
Touch uses various computer programs to track the actual arrival
times of our aircraft allowing them to meet our every changing needs.
They handle all major airlines flying into New York and set the
standard for the industry.
