A Christmas Story 2024

Hi I am Flying Typers Executive Editor Flossie Arend.Every year around this time, we struggle to find new words to offer to our loyal Flying Talkers Broadcast listeners.

I am not immune to the warm responses inspired by our annual Christmas story, and I would be posturing if I said it doesn’t feel good to know it is so well received. However, the pressure mounts to say something new; to not rehash the things you already know; to provide some meaningful insight into our holiday gathering.

     You know we are a family business in an age when most companies yearn to proclaim that simply for the feel-good cachet it affords them.

People love a good legacy story.

We are about to celebrate our 50th anniversary as a publishing force in air cargo and no, you can’t put a price on that. In a world where everything has been commodified, you still can’t buy time or experience.
