Labeled as one of the “nicest” guys at Airways Freight, David Sarratt began his career in our Domestic Operations department in June of 2006. Having heard about Airways while working at Taylor Displays as a freight manager, David used to take care of Airways Freight’s large custom trade show booth used for exhibiting. After being referred by another Airways employee, David applied for a position and has been moving freight ever since. One of the things he likes most about working at Airways Freight, is handling shipments from start to finish. Whether it is emailing requests for quotes, entering, dispatching, and tracking freight, David thrives on the intricate details involved.
David was born in Richmond, California, and at the age of 5 he and his family moved “back home” to Arkansas where his Mother had grown up. He has lived in the Northwest Arkansas area ever since. Growing up the baby of the family, as well as being the only boy, David spent a lot of time with his Dad. They did everything together, from hunting, fishing gardening to fixing vehicles and building things. His Father taught him to play catch as well as cribbage and ping pong. During the summer, David would ride along with him on his route for a local vending machine company. He would help, and his Dad gave him as many honey buns a kid could eat as payment!
David and his wife Andrea have been married since 2010. They have four boys, Cody – 17, Noah – 5, Case – 3, and are proud to announce the birth of their fourth son Nyls on August 17th of this year, weighing in at 8 pounds and 10 ounces!
Outside of work, David, and his family like to travel over to Cassville, Missouri to spend time on Mamaw and Papaw’s farm! They also enjoy going to Silver Dollar City on occasion. David also likes to play Baggo and is extremely competitive.
Something you may not know about David is that he used to sing solos with his church choir. David’s most notable accomplishment to this point is going back to school and receiving his BSBIS degree!
He is quiet, productive, supportive, and hardworking. He is beneficial to Domestic Operations, and we are happy to have him on our team.
Airways would like to offer our Congratulations to David and Andrea on the birth of their son Nyls!

“I love my job!” is what Cassie Ivy said when asked what she thought about working at Airways Freight.
Previous to her position at Airways Freight, Cassie did the bookkeeping for local furniture stores in the area, along with bank errands and mail pickup. She had passed by Airways on many occasions and had always wondered what it would be like to work there. After hearing about Airways through local gossip, she applied and in July of 2003, was given a position in the Accounting Department where she has been ever since. What she loves most about her job is the camaraderie she shares with her close co-workers in Accounts Payable. They have grown to become very good friends and have formed a family bond with each other.
With her father in the Navy, Cassie was born at Portsmouth Naval Base in Virginia. After his retirement in 1992, her family moved to Arkansas. Cassie is the oldest of three siblings, she has a younger sister and a brother.
Outside of work, Cassie loves to spend time with her three girls, Kenya who is 19, Kaitlyn 16, and Cicely who is 5. She likes to be around the water and enjoys swimming whenever she gets the chance. Cassie is also an avid roller-skater and took lessons as a kid. Some of her hobbies include reading, astrology and she has a great interest in Science. She also loves sign language and has been teaching herself.
Cassie has a big heart, she never misses a chance to greet people in the morning and her coworkers have described her as an excellent listener. She always comes to work with a smile on her face and a great attitude to boot. One of her favorite quotes is by Mother Theresa “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love”.
A champion of movie quotes, Cassie can recite any line from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” as well as “Steel Magnolias”!
She is kind, hardworking and helpful. She takes pride in her work and pays close attention to detail. Cassie has always been good at numbers and she will be punching them in for Airways for a very long time!

One of the youngest members of the Airways Freight team, Jake Oskey is holding his own in the Night Operations Department. From tracking shipments to supporting customers with their freight, Jake puts his all into everything he does.
Jake started his journey with Airways in January of 2017, working part-time in the Trade Show department entering data into the system. After graduating in May, he subsequently moved to full-time Night Operations and has been there since. What he loves most about working at Airways, is the positivity shown by his colleagues and the wonderful team morale they share. One of his favorite things about working on the night crew is assisting new employees in their nightly tasks, as well as offering assistance whenever needed.
Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Jake grew up in Farmington. His childhood was abundant with fond memories of playing video games with his brother and the many friends they had. At the age of 6, Jake began playing football, and by high school was the smallest linebacker in 5A, he and his team won all conference. One of the things he is most proud of is that he can also throw a football close to 60 yards!
Jake and his wife Kyle have been married for a little over a year. They share two beagles, an 8-month-old named Chloe and a 2-month-old named Colt. They love spending time with family and in his spare time he picked up the guitar as a hobby.
Jake has never been out of the country, but someday would love to travel. He is very social and enjoys helping others. His favorite quote is by Vince Lombardi “Winners never quit, and quitters never win”.
Whether it’s tossing a football or tracking a shipment, Jake always gives 100%. He strives daily to learn as much as he can about the industry and Airways Freight and we are very proud of his endeavors.
