Danny Ruitenberg joined United Airlines on Feb 1, 1993 and held several positions during that time.His last position was Key Account Manager Specialty Sales for the Netherlands and Belgium. Danny was able to to settle his job with relative ease, and quickly assimilated a wide range of procedures.His eagerness to learn, his congeniality and interest in aviation in general made Danny a valuable asset to our company ! Danny has demonstrated keen product knowledge, outstanding communication skills, superior teamwork and an overwhelming ability to have fun.Although we fully understand Danny's decision to move on to a new challenge, I regret that he is no longer part of the United team. I will sincerely miss Danny after working closely with him for more than 18 years ! It wish with great pleasure that I give him my recommendation and like to take this opportunity to wish Danny the best of luck and success with his new company
