As most know, The Wings Club is an aviation membership organization
based in New York City.  It was founded in 1942 and currently has more
than 1,000 members worldwide.  It also has 100 Corporate
members.  Most of the world’s airlines are corporate members or have
individual members.  See: History -The Wings Club
Annually, The Wings Club elects senior members to become Golden Eagle
members when their age plus consecutive years as a club member equals
120 for men and 95 for women.
This year, one of the seven Golden Eagles elected at The Annual
Meeting on March 25 was Harris Herman.  Harris worked at American’s
corporate headquarters from 1965 until the move to Dallas, TX in
1979.  He grew up in Boston, MA, received an engineering degree from
Northeastern University and an MBA from Harvard Business School and
was hired by AA to work in the Methods and Standards Department.  He
was promoted nine times with a final role as Assistant Vice President
Marketing Administration, reporting to Bob Crandall.
After leaving American, he helped start up three companies in the
1980’s, including New York Air and The Pan Am Shuttle.  He was
president of The Pan Am Shuttle until it was sold to Delta Air Lines
in 1991.For most of the 1990’s he was an independent consultant and
also was hired as President of two of his clients.
He also joined The Wings Club in 1991, was elected to the Board of
Governors, serving for 10 years and then became General Manager for a
further 10 years. Upon his retirement in 2012 The Board elected him an
Honorary Member of the Club for his contributions over the previous 20
years.
Since retirement he has volunteered his time as a consultant to help
non-profit organizations address management issues, working on teams
representing the Harvard Business School Community Partners and The
National Executive Service Corp.
Harris and his wife, Phyllis, (also a former AAer) still live on
Gramercy Park in Manhattan.
