By ElTyna McCree

Rev. ElTyna McCree Chair, Oakland Small Business Chair, Sobo Merchants Assn. ElTyna McCree, affectionately known as "queen of the airlines", because of her innate ability to walk on water and create some of the most astounding airline testimonials. McCree now celebrating 45 years as a travel icon began her illustrious career with United airlines in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the late 60s. There were so few blacks working then, and she continued her career at Allegheny Airlines, now U.S. Air. Her position at Allegheny was Director of Convention Services. She was named official travel coordinator of the Church of God in Christ, in 1968. Eastern and Pan Am airlines stated that her worth was 500.00 a day in 1975, because she had given them so many convention opportunities. She started her first travel agency in 1978 in her beloved Oakland, California and quickly became known as the travel agent to the stars.
