FlyingTypers spoke to the old cargo pro Barry Lien who said, “work today at Worldwide Flight Services brings me in close proximity to some great people in air cargo, and attending CNS partnership deepens the ties that bind.
   “Air cargo is a people business, unique and grand, and still today nothing beats the face to face contact that CNS provides, delivering great neutral ground for us to meet all our customers in one place during this annual event.”
   Barry counts 31 years in air cargo serving Delta and US Airways & Continental before jumping ship for a few years but then returning to WFS as Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
   Barry is based in Atlanta where he lives with his wife of 38 years, Melissa.
   Interestingly the Lien’s two daughters reside today in Brooklyn, New York.
   “We get back to New York every once in a while and always enjoy seeing the old places and even some new ones.
   Asked if he ever gets back to Building 67 at JFK which Delta occupied after acquiring Pan Am Clipper Cargo, Barry just smiled.
   “Those were the days.
   “They were good but now they are gone.
   “I am in this business because I love it.
   “We are making new history at WFS.
   “It is different than working for an airline, as projects take quite a while to complete.
   “But for me the thrill of this industry and the fellowship of CNS go hand in hand.
   “I expect a very good week, full of fun, business and friends in Palm Springs,” Barry Lien said.
