Talk:Jeppesen

HQ
I little question...according to this article, their HQ is in Denver, Colorado, but in the article referenced, the HQ is mentioned as being located in San Jose, California. Also, the company mentioned in the article is called Jeppesen International Trip Planning, and not Jeppesen Sanderson as in this article. Are these the same companies, or have someone mixed them up?

 * "Jeppesen is headquartered in Englewood, Colo. and has offices located around the world.", from the official Jeppesen website. Englewood is in the Denver area, but I could change it to Englewood to be more specific. Jeppesen International Trip Planning is a name of one of their services, not the company.

Overby
The article says: "Bob Overby, Jeppesen's managing director". That makes it sound like a Bob Overby would be the managing director of Jeppesen Sanderson. According to his LinkedIn page, Bob Overby is Managing Director of Jeppesen DataPlan, the business in San José.

As far as I understand, DataPlan is the leading provider of flight services for US business jets. I'm sure they've planned hundreds of smuggling trips as well as other illegal activities. I'm also pretty sure Wal-Mart sold belts that were used to strangle people, IKEA sold beds to rapists and Ford sold cars to drunk drivers.

I think it would be more more interesting and relevant to write about all the work Jeppesen is doing to save the environment. After all, that's one important aspect of efficient flight planning, and also something the resource planning systems developed in Göteborg (old Carmen) and the marine systems developed in Portland focus on. The main focus of Jeppesen's core business, to replace paper with electronic information, is about saving trees and reducing unneed transports.

Besides, it would be very odd if a subsidiary of Boeing would refuse to offer its standard services of filing flight plans and landing permits, ordering fuel and hotel rooms for pilots etc to the CIA... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.37.63 (talk) 00:26, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

CIA aid
Seriously, just because a single article says the CIA bought charts from Jeppesen does not mean they are in the torture business. If I bought charts from Jeppesen, flew to Canada using those charts and dumped a corpse, does that make Jeppesen culpable?
 * According to the New Yorker article, the relationship between Jeppesen and the CIA is much deeper than the purchase of some charts. No one is suggesting that Jeppesen is "culpable" only that they are reported to provide the logistics support for a controversial CIA program that involves kidnapping and torture. --Lee Hunter 21:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever. And Caterpillar is responsible for use of its equipment by the IDF? This material does not belong here. Are we going to start noting every protestation against aerospace, aviation, and defense firms now because they have a client relationship with the government? &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 22:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact, WP does note the use of Caterpillar equipment by the IDF --Lee Hunter 23:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's still agenda pushing. You make it seem like this is all Jeppesen does. Again, they sell maps and charts to anyone. That's their business. What is your beef with them? I question the relevance of this section. &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 00:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You write "You make it seem like this is all Jeppesen does". Actually, no I don't. The bulk of the article is a dry account of Jeppesen's business operations (that part could certainly be expanded). The part about their relationship with the CIA is a single paragraph and is based on what is very much a reliable source. The addition of "relevance" and "POV" tags to that section is peculiar, to the say the least, since the paragraph is very specifically about Jeppesen operations (i.e. relevant) and only contains factual information (i.e. NPOV). --Lee Hunter 02:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What if the description of the allegations against Jeppesen are left in but the stuff about the protests is removed? I like it the way it is but would be willing to go that far. \ Fnarf999 \ talk \ contribs \ 17:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Split
Per the tag, would anyone object to splitting out the lawsuit to its own article? There are bits and pieces floating around in various articles about the suit, and there's a bit of a WP:UNDUE effect to putting all the info here. -- Kendrick7talk 20:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I went ahead. -- Kendrick7talk 21:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Added an image
I've added an image of a "Jepp chart" (the only one in Wikimedia because of copyright reasons, hence it might not be a typical one). I've removed the reqphoto template from this talk page since the user who originally put it here has been banned and the user who updated it has been inactive for 6 months. If anyone feels like there is an issue with the image I've added or there is need for more photos, please return the template and/or address the issue here.
