23rd Annual International Women in Aviation Conference is in Dallas, Texas, March 8-10, 2012

There is a SUPER opportunity at the conference...TOURS!!
on March 7, 2012
Tour 1: American Airlines Alliance Fort Worth Maintenance Facility
Tour 2: American Airlines Flight Academy
Tour 3: Southwest Airlines Tours (Flight Operations Training, Dispatch, Maintenance, and InFlight Services at SWA premier facility, Dallas, TX.

For more information on the tours, check out the WAI website:
http://www.wai.org/12conference/2012_conf_tours.cfm
You need to register for the conference to take the tours, and will save a little money by becoming a member of WAI (you don't need to be a woman to be a member).
There are also educational seminars on a wide variety of topics related to aviation during the conference.

I went to this conference when it was held in San Diego, and it was well worth the money.

Having also attended the Taking Flight FlightFests in Nashville and Phoenix, when we had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at SWA, I highly recommend tours! They are fascinating, and will give you a broader perspective of aviation.

Well, did anyone go to this event? I'm sorry to say I missed it, I had too much going on in San Diego to take the time off. Next year it will be in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel . It's too bad Passenger Mark doesn't still live in Nashville...:)...but we DO have some other members who live there....so put it on your calendar if you are interested. Remeber that men are welcome too, even though it says "Women in Aviation".
