FORT WORTH, Texas — After some 17 years of service, American Airlines Federal Credit Union CEO John M. Tippets will retire on June 30.
His leadership marked a period of substantial growth and service innovations at AA Credit Union, from helping the credit union grow its assets from $1 billion to $4.8 billion and increasing the number of branches and loans outstanding by four-fold, to doubling the number of members.
Prior to 1991, Tippets served for eight years on the AA Credit Union Board of Directors.
He will be honored at “Fun Takes Flight,” an aviation industry celebration, Saturday, June 21.
During the event, Tippets will be available for a book signing of his newly published book, Hearts of Courage, the miraculous 29-day survival story of his father's 1943 plane crash in Alaska.
