She goes up in her airline career By CONNIE GRZELKA AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) - After booking a nonreturn flight out of the CIA in 1968, Carole J. Di neen landed in the airline busi ness, where her career has steadily gained altitude. This year, the 35-year-old Mrs. Dineen was named man ager of airport operations for TWA at Kennedy Airport here, making her what is believed to be the first woman manager of a major airline facility in the United States. “I landed at TWA by acci dent,” said the former CIA analyst, who joined the airline as a customer relations repre sentative. After that she worked as an analyst in reservations, as manager of reservations mar keting and as manager of res ervations for the New York area. “I wanted an airport even tually,” the pert manager said in an interview. “But this came as a surprise. It was a result of changes made to broaden the experiences of the management staff. ‘‘Also, my boss believes a Mrs. Larry E.

Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the Griffin Country Club. Mrs. Richard Brooks kept the bride’s book. Assisting with the reception were Mrs. Lewis Thomas, Mrs. J. M.

Other wise, I wouldn’t be here,” added Mrs. Dineen, who said there has been little adverse re action to having a woman in the job. From her pleasant wood-pan eled office tucked away on the ground level of the terminal, Mrs. Dineen oversees the daily activities of 500 people, an an nual budget of sl4 million, roughly 40 daily departing flights and an equal number of arrivals, as well as all terminal activities, including the airport ticket office and ramp oper ations. She describes her work day, which starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs through 8 p.m. as “fairly frantic.” Mrs. Dineen handles paperwork, meetings and man agement problems until 5 o’clock. Then she begins to move around the terminal, the flight control tower and the ramp, when terminal oper ations are crunched into one peak time. “I couldn’t stay in here and depend on written reports and hearsay. You have to observe,” she explains Her first day on the job, she recalls, featured a tour of the ramp areas with one of the ter minal’s two nonadministrative operations managers, who jok ingly pointed to the walls. “It seemed that all of the graffiti had suddenly dis appeared from the walls for the new manager. But it’s reap pearing slowly,” she confides.

Perdue, and Mr. Michael Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Russell. The Rev. Bruce Morgan performed the ceremony. A program of music was presented by Mr. Lanny Mac Alister of Barnesville. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a long sleeved gown of white silk peau featuring a Victorian neckline and sheer yoked bodice overlaid with alencon lace and seed pearls. The lace and pearl trimmed A line skirt fell from a raised waist and formed an attached chapel train. Tiny covered buttons accented the back of the dress and tapered sleeves. Her chapel length mantilla veil was bordered in matching alencon lace. Her only jewelry was a single pearl on a golden neck chain, a gift from the groom. She carried a nosegay of white roses, stephanotis and baby breath. Miss Julie Steedley of Atlanta was maid of honor.

Her longtime interest in Cen tral America led to her four vear association with the CIA, which she says “sounded fine at first.” “I didn’t know it was such a sexist place and that I’d be pi geonholed careerwise. So I lost interest. I felt that I had lost four years and realized that I’d have to start all over again.’ Not long after leaving that job, Mrs. Dineen said, she em braced the women’s rights movement and even held office in two such groups here. Even tually she became disenchanted with the movement because “too many radical elements were all wed to get control.” She feels she’s in her metier now and finds management of the terminal “intriguing. JFK is rather a monster because of its size. Orchestrating the oper ation and getting everything done through others is a tre mendous challenge. “Airport operation is difficult because of the peaking prob lem. If something falls out of kilter, sometimes you can’t re cover. When there’s a problem it often has a domino effect. Bad weather or air traffic can stall the entire operation.” Since she stepped into her new job, some of the snags that have cropped up and affected the terminal’s operation have included: anti-Concorde demon strators who snarled automo tive traffic at the airport, the bus hijacker who disrupted the airport on Independence Day. fitted sleeves and a trailing cape.
