WIAI Aids Flying Sisterhood

Helps Women Find Jobs Within Aviation and Aerospace

More than 115 exhibitors and 1,800 members of Women in Aviation International (WAI) are arriving in the Queen City (Cincinnati, OH) March 20-22 at the Cincinnati Convention Center for the 14th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference. Attendees will build and explore their networks with professionals within aviation and aerospace industries, as well as land jobs in their respective fields.

Dr. Peggy Chabrian, WAI President, said, "We have an all-time record number of corporate flight departments, military, airlines, manufacturers, aviation organizations, publishers, colleges and universities, artists and authors lining up for booth space this year."

"Even in these tough times," she said, "there are several companies looking for new employees…including airlines." The WAI Conference has proven to be one of the best locations for women seeking jobs or career changes within an airline or aerospace manufacturer, according to the association. The International Women in Aviation Conference is geared toward the specific needs of women pursuing careers in all aspects of aviation and aerospace, from engineers, pilots, mechanics and managers to flight attendants and teachers.

Women, four percent of America's licensed pilots, make up only two percent of the airline pilots in the U.S. and less than one percent of the aircraft mechanics. In addition, 11 percent of engineers are women, as are 20 percent of astronauts.
