Kristen Oldenburger is interested in the business of flying, particularly in how to keep an airline aloft in a rather competitive climate. Up to this point, however, she's done most of her work at ground level, for the FAA, the National Transportation Safety Bureau, and a few startup airlines. Recent treks to Australia and the United Arab Emirates have given a global slant to her travel industry knowledge, as well as the opportunity to visit the Great Barrier Reef, and she's looking to her summer internship with Morgan Stanley to provide a better understanding of the management side of transportation. In the rare moments her thoughts aren't on the sky, Kristin can be found on the ice, competing as part of an award-winning synchronized skating team. Correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate sat down with Kristin to discuss her ideas on the future of the aviation industry, witnessing New Year's Eve fireworks over the Sydney Harbor, and her plans for learning to fly.
