Does she know about Emily Warner and Bonnie Tiburzi, those two brave, lonely islands of woman-pilothood in the sea of male airline pilots? They were the first since Helen Richey -- Emily began flying for Frontier Airlines in 1973 and Bonnie for American Airlines, also in 1973. If I could peek into Amelia's skull, I bet I would find her thoughts zipping back to 1935, when her good friend Helen Richey became the first woman pilot to be hired by an airline...and how wretchedly Helen was treated by Central Airlines...and how Amelia herself went straight to the press to take up the cudgels for her friend after Helen was phased out of her job...and how she thereby set off something of a national controversy about the appropriateness of women flying airliners.<br />Are you familiar with the story?mkendrick24https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649000520068080665noreply@blogger.com
