We Like Mike!
And not just because he was an Oldsmobile
salesman before joining United Airlines Cargo 28 years ago.
My memories forever linger on my Grandfather
Stowell, a pioneer auto salesman, as he worked out in the barn behind
our home in Sylvania, Ohio, fixing up his 1928 Oldsmobile, which was built
50 miles north up in Detroit. In the shadowy light of the barn, it was
my Grandmother Flossie who held the lantern as he worked on the darkened
engine.
So to learn in 2015 that Mike Oslansky was
connected to a now long-gone American icon, which branded one automobile
model “Rocket 88,” before moving to a career in air cargo,
certainly tickles our nostalgia.
Maybe even better is the knowledge that
Mike has moved easily into becoming the consummate air cargo professional,
one galaxy at time.
Also, despite a track record at UA Cargo
that includes what amounts to earning a doctorate in the step-by-step,
on-the-job education in the art of shipping by air, today Mike radiates
the attitude and zeal of a “young mobile.”
Mike moved from serving as an account executive
at United Cargo from April 1987 to April 1997 to his post today as director,
U.S. Cargo Operations, where he started on June 15.
Along the way he has served as program director
for UC360, the cargo IT program, focused on Phase 2 planning.
Mike has served as manager - Cargo Customer
Service; manager, Product Development; sales manager; and corporate account
manager at UA Cargo, among other postings at the carriers.
A young mobile from Oldsmobile works for
us, and apparently United Cargo as well.
