The conversation revealed the meaning of being a pilot, what characteristics allow you to become a pilot in command and how women cope with this prestigious profession. According to the experienced pilot, there is no division between men and women in operating flights anymore.

“Ladies perform excellently. We have magnificent women pilots. I would catch a flight with women-only crew with no worries at all. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman when it comes to making decisions and prioritizing tasks. Women are very successful in our job, the same way that many ladies drive cars excellently.”, the pilot states categorically.
