At FlyingTypers,
we’re endlessly thrilled when we hear news of women not just securing
jobs in air cargo, but also excelling in them. The news is even more exciting
when it involves a pioneering effort, which, in the case of women in air
cargo, it often does. |
CAL’s Global GSA Conference in Belgium this week confirmed several exciting new announcements. Not only will CAL be picking up the service slack for customers in Cyprus (left by since-liquidated Cyprus Airways), but CAL Cargo airlines is also teaming up with ATC, which will act as CAL’s GSA in Holland, effective February 1st. With this partnership, ATC will become CAL’s 56th GSA partner worldwide. “Strengthening our presence in Europe with a new GSA is a great way to start the year," said CEO CAL Cargo Airlines Eyal Zagagi. “We already work with the ATC team in the U.S. and Austria, so it seems a natural fit to further expand our partnership to Europe. We found ATC to be one of the most dedicated and professional GSAs in Holland and we look forward to working with them in close cooperation.” “The GSA agreement we signed this week is a great opportunity for both CAL and ATC to grow," said Arno van der Kooij, country manager of ATC, Benelux (above left with Eyal Zagagi, right). "CAL's expertise in non-standard cargo complements our customer portfolio, and their ‘can-do’ attitude means customers always get the answers they are looking for.” Flossie |

Actress
Sally Field immortalized the acceptance speech in 1985 when she
was awarded Best Actress in the film Places In The Heart. Ms. Field (who is again nominated for an Oscar in 2013 for her role in the movie Lincoln) gushed, "You like me! Right now you like me!” Those sentences became a punch line around the world. Billy Wilder, the great German-born movie director whose 100th birthday was celebrated in 2007, (he died in 2002 at 95), uttered the best quote ever about awards. Among the masterpieces Wilder directed are "Some Like It Hot", "Sunset Boulevard", and the equally great and somewhat overlooked "One, Two, Three". Wilder said: “Awards are like hemorrhoids: once in a lifetime every asshole gets them.” |
Great Trophies of Aviation |

Clifford B. Harmon, a wealthy sportsman and aviator, established
three international trophies to be awarded annually to the world's
outstanding aviator, aviatrix, and aeronaut. The Harmon Trophy—the aviator's award—is given for the most outstanding international achievements in the preceding year, with the art of flying receiving first consideration. The Bendix Trophy for cross-country races, sponsored by the Bendix Corporation, begun in 1931. The award was established to encourage aviation progress. Winner of the first race was Major James H. Doolittle who flew from Los Angeles to Cleveland, Ohio at an average speed of 223 miles per hour. The PulitzerTrophy, established in 1920 by American publishing magnate, Ralph Pulitzer, who created a speed contest to encourage U.S. designers to build faster airplanes. |
