End Of An Era

Willie Mercado  FlyingTypers has learned that Willie Mercado, long time “Mr. Aer Lingus Cargo” in the USA, will retire from the airline July 18.
  “It’s been a great ride over these last 37 years with Aer Lingus Cargo,” soft-spoken Willie said.
  “Aer Lingus has been incredibly supportive in my decision to retire—it wasn’t an easy one.”
  A top Aer Lingus cargo executive in North America, Willie Mercado as been at the helm as Cargo Sales & Reservationa Manager for the past 6 years.
  In fact, Willie has been the public cargo face of the Irish national airline since 2000, when he was named cargo reservation manager.
  During that time he has worked long and hard for both airline and cargo community, serving as President of the Air Cargo Association at JFK from 2007 through 2013.
  “My future plan is to step back a bit, take the summer off, and get to know the other side of life.
  “Of course, I will have a place in my plan to follow air cargo and stay in touch with the friends I have made in this wonderful business over the years. “So don’t be surprised when I turn up at JFK knocking on your door for business.” Willie Mercado said.
  To that we add—go softly and live a long time, and stay in touch, dear Willie.
