Our first Female Captain

[ACMS]

A very big congrats to A.C. well done.

A big fat nothing from the company, apart from her name being mentioned in NR's friday report. Now if it was C.W. that was the first they would have given her a marching band and ticker tape parade down Nathan road.

tut tut.

[ACMS]

possibly but.......

you'd think NR would have made some nice comments about it.

Very poor form and it shows how he really feels about "his troops"

[fernytickles]

Congratulations, from a complete stranger.

Sad reflection of the company that this has taken soooooooooooooo long.
Perhaps they are at long last moving out of the Neolithic period of aviation?

Whatever, I hope the new captain is feeling pretty chuffed

[Rabesh Binny]

She was feeling pretty happy at Solas on 4 Sep!(just did her 4 bar that day).

[Fenwicksgirl]

Well done AC

No disrespects to the others but AC is a great first up!!
By the way NR was beside himself with joy about this but am sure it has been agreed to not make a big deal about it.
Also, 2 more in the ranks coming through, in a couple of months it will be a no big deal...well done to all!

Congradulations!!!!!

[Left Wing]

is this training part of the stuff being done at Alteon SIN ????.......

[elac2]

Sorry for asking a stupid question but is she a local from the cadetship or expat. Either way congratulations and happy flying.

Sorry for asking an even dumber question, but what airline are we talking about? Or are we to assume there is only one airline in HK?

[Harbour Dweller]

knackeredII,

Cathay Pacific

[ACMS]

we are talking about CX

A.C. joined as an SO on the 400 fleet probably about 9 years ago and was not a cadet.

[sinkingship]

Did she fly the 777 then 400 before her command?

Anyway Congratulations Capt. A.C.

[oicur12]

A female Captain in CX.

Congradulations and welcome to the 1960's.

Very progressive.

[HotDog]

I believe KA had two female commands way back?

[HotDog]

Congratulations and welcome to the 1960's.

I had an assignation with a flight engineer of an American operator on a night stop in Tokyo once. She was a very good engineer; female.

[FlexibleResponse]

Heartiest congratulations to AC!

Cheers and many happy landings,
Flex

[willnotcomply]

Why should her name be up in lights? She is suppose to be an equal, right?

[sinkingship]

She is equal, but what about the training system.

[The Wraith]

Flown with A.C. on several occasions and she most certainly deserves her four bars. Serious professionalism and ability all wrapped up inside a wonderful person!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. And the hell with the ticker tape parade...we all know she was first!!

[Flap 5]

KA had their first female captain some ten years ago (R.C.). But then KA seems to have lived fast and furious and has now burnt itself out.
