important to me to break that out from the rest of the business,” he said.
Roger refers to his children’s involvement in the business as Woolsey 2.0. Allison got her pilot’s license in 2017 and Chase followed in 2018. In 2019, the family bought a 1988 Beechcraft Bonanza A36.
“Dad, Allison and I flew that Bonanza all the way home to Houston from Budapest, Hungary, in the winter across the Atlantic in January 2019,” Chase said. “When we got it home, Allison and I would fly the Bonanza all over the place to look at locations and we built our ratings in that aircraft.”
Allison has a degree in public relations, advertising and business from Texas State University, and she maintains her private and instrument ratings. She has about 300 flight hours, mostly in the family’s 1988 Beechcraft Bonanza A36 alongside her father and brother.
“For me, flying is a family hobby,” Allison said. “I love flying with the two of them and that’s as far as I wanted to go with my license. I’m glad to have that quality time and bonding experience with them.”
She’s been with the company for a dozen years and serves as chief brand officer for Million Air Interlink, the segment of the business focused on franchising
Million Air FBOs. She leads a team responsible for the strategy and implementation of branding, marketing, training programs, safety and business development across Million Air’s 36 locations.
She said one of her proudest accomplishments is cultivating and sustaining a corporate culture centered around service and servant leadership, which the family credits with helping the Million Air brand garner numerous accolades, including the No. 1 ranking for the past 12 years in Professional Pilot magazine’s annual ranking of Large FBO Chains.
Chase caught the flying bug and continued building hours and certifications while working in a variety of sectors of the business. He worked on the line, servicing and refueling aircraft at Million Air’s Houston facility; he quoted, scheduled and dispatched charter and air medical trips as part of the flight dispatch team for American Jet International, the charter division; and he advanced to the roles of account manager and sales rep for AJI. With CE-500 and BE-300 type ratings, Chase has been a captain for American Jet International for the past three years. He has accumulated 2,500 hours, mostly in the company’s Cessna Citation jets and Beechcraft King Air B300 turboprops.
