Flight Paths to Success profiles the personal journeys of 33 women
who have been, and continue to be, successful in aviation, space,
and academia. Each woman was asked to select one question of
several questions in five categories: personal career insight,
work-life balance, mentorship/sponsorship, avoiding a career stall,
and powering through challenging situations. Each woman shared her
unique experiences about work-life integration, resilience, career
changes, relocation, continuing education, and career advancement.
While reading their stories, we saw that there were many flight
paths to success and each woman navigated her own way by charting
her own course and committing to it. Their stories were published
as they wrote them-in their own words.

As environmental concerns increasingly dominate public
consciousness, businesses are called upon to incorporate green
methods and processes into their operations strategy. The aviation
industry is no exception and is responsible for taking more actions
to reduce the negative environmental impact. Designing and
implementing a top-down strategy conscious of environmental impact
is a monumental challenge. Only with a full understanding of the
scientific and logistical hurdles can a green approach to airline
operations succeed. Airline Green Operations Strategies: Emerging
Research and Opportunities is an essential publication that
examines methods of managing and limiting harmful waste and
emissions from airlines and supports the adoption of the most
effective green operation strategies, policies, and regulations by
airlines. Highlighting a broad range of topics including greenhouse
gases, noise management, and competitive priorities, this book is
ideally designed for executives, manufacturers, environmentalists,
policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.
