The capability of dissipating supercooled fogs by aircraft seeding has been recognized since Schaefer experimented in 1946. Except for some localized application of this weather control and some side effects of research aimed at precipitation increase, no organized program of airport weather improvement was established in the United States until 1963. Seeding of supercooled fogs by dry ice was organized during two winters for the purpose of increasing airline schedule reliability at airports subjected to this cold fog. Better than 80% success was attained by this method, resulting in the operation of approximately 200 scheduled flights which would otherwise have been canceled. Typical examples of visibility improvement after less than an hour of seeding are illustrated. The direct benefits resulting from these programs outweigh the costs significantly and suggest that similar fog dispersal operations should be expanded to other areas of the United States which are subjected to supercooled fogs.

Employees and employers are facing issues in work life balance. It has become a difficult domain now, because the work needs have increased due to an increase in work pressure and complexities in handling the technology. As there are drastic changes in the rules and regulations in the work scenario of the aviation industry, it makes work life balance of employees difficult and set more hurdles. Hence there are many distractions and imbalances in the life of women employees in the aviation industry working across all levels. This work pressure is creating high level of hurdles in maintaining a harmonious job and family life, especially for female aviation employees. Data is collected from 50 female crew members working at Cochin International Airport. The objective of this study is to analyze the work life balance of working females of Cochin International Airport and its influence on their personal and specialized lives. The result of the study shows that the management should frame certain policies which will help employees to have the balance among their personal and expert lives.
