It was her first job as captain after a role as Copilot with TK. The Lady-Copilot was continuing after a couple of years as a university teacher. The owner was proud to have a 100% female crew for his daughter but now he lost them all.
Insalah



Can we please avoid the “lady-pilot”? If the gender is relevant, as it could be here, as apparently the father specifically wanted women to fly his daughter, a better way would be “female pilot”. Nobody would think of using “gentlemen-pilot” for a male pilot.

Yes, the female captain did a horrible job, the female co-pilot did her best to correct, but should have taken control.
