Why the rolleyes??
 
What an inspiration to all Pilots both male and female!

Well done to her on an amazing career forged through her own determined will.

In Qantas we have a similar character in Capt Cheryl Quinn. Her story describing the hurdles overcome to be QFs first female Pilot is awe inspiring. Small in stature but huge in character I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to operate under her Command.

You go Girls!:ok:

I think I've flown with her back in the 80's.

An Ansett 727 with an all girl crew lined up with a bit of a crosswind. With throttles up and speed increasing we went for a little excursion to the edge of the runway and back, a bit of a whoopsie moment, but all was good and it was an enjoyable flight to Brisbane.

That would be Sharelle Quinn.....otherwise spot-on!

Congrats Deb,

Aviation is much richer as a result of your involvement.

Look forward to hearing you make #1.

:ok::D

An Ansett 727 with an all girl crew lined up ..

I don't think so. Deb was the senior AN lady at that stage but, if I recall correctly, she was either doing her command or had recently checked out on the 737 at the time we prefer not to mention ... she headed off O/S subsequently.

Thoroughly pleasant person ...

Dora-9 6th Jun 2015 20:19

jt is correct on both counts. She was command training when 1989 occurred, and she was always a very pleasant person to fly with.

Good to see her still going strong...

It was the age when Australia was quite insular in employment practices with them not employing females as pilots, plus of course the age requirements they had for all recruits. (myself included)
Although I do not know Deborah, congratulations on being able to turn the tide for women and of course having a long career. I love the "cranky old man" comment with regards Sir Reginald. Also not a bad plug for Tiger either!

"Ansett 727 with an all girl crew"

I agree with jt. Never happened. AN never had any women Capts or F/E's (prior to 89 )

According to my logbook I flew with Deb (B727 ) in July of 89.

As I recollect she was a good operator and am not surprised her career panned out the way it has.:ok:

Aww, c`mon Skystar320, Lighten up a bit. :D

The occasional bit of levity on this particular forum is welcome IMHO.

GUYS CAN DO ANYTHING
 
Wow. A female pilot.

If your after an award, go elsewhere.

If she's so awesome, who's the longest serving male pilot in Australia.



No one will care.

Sex sells.
