Description

 
   We write about women in air cargo, about female aviators, and because we acknowledge women as consummate multi-taskers, we must remember to ask: what else can you do? What else do you do? 
     Invariably, women in every industry perform several and various functions in order not to go ‘hysterical,’ a term loved dearly by detractors of feminists like Betty Friedan as it improperly classified and deflected from that general feeling of malaise suffered by so many women who were not put to good use beyond the home.
Here we meet  Elvy Kalep, the first female in Estonia to receive a pilot’s license, in 1931. Elvy, a friend of Amelia Earhart's and member of the 99s ,the pioneering female air pilots organization , never stopped working to interest young women in aviation even creating a most charming book titled "Air Babies".
 
A pioneering “Women In Air Cargo’, Mathangi Krishnan , could easily pass off as my aunt next door. 
Measured in her conversation, an air of calm around her, Madam Krishnan cannot be pictured in the midst of the cacophony and helter-skelter of air cargo terminals. 
But that is where her heart is. 
 
This Thursday don't miss the JFK Cargo Expo! 
All day just near the airport at a place where you can network with maybe 300 of  your new best friends, and hear a couple of good discussions, plus enjoy an absolute rarity at these type of gatherings, a truly great luncheon meal and speaker. 
Come on, it is International Women’s Month, so give it up for Luncheon Keynote Speaker Ms. Suzy Wardle, Head of Digital & Distribution, Virgin Atlantic Airways Cargo. Relax as Suzy who has something to say shares her thoughts with a look inside digitization, business simplification, e-commerce, and the future of customer interaction from her unique perspective.
