Happy anniversary Deb.

Deb was never short on skill and ability either.

One of the few people I would gladly fly to the end of the world with.
Jetstar’s loss Tigers gain. Deb is a pilot. A true definition of what one is ( well compared to this younger gen that I fly with of late anyway- the magenta pilot) |
How amazing is it that in 1979- Think about it 1979- a major company was so convinced Women shouldn't be pilots it took the case to the supreme court.
And there are plenty of people alive today who, no doubt, supported that position at the time. The world changes, sometimes you have to step back and work ut if you are on the right side of history... |
I remember Deb getting out of a 737 and jumping into a (?twin commanche?), still wearing uniform with bling removed, to fly us over to Club Mort in the mid eighties.
A couple of very junior ATCs and their partners. Lovely person and great to work with over the years. |

look at some of the posts on this board and you'll find there are still a lot of people who STILL support the idea that a women shouldn't fly airliners........... :sad: |

I'm so grateful for her paving the way and being an inspiration to us female pilots :)

Nice MG she had as well.
