American Airlines' Video Highlights Its 785 Women Pilots - AVweb

In the middle of a COVID-driven near-stop of public flying, airlines and other businesses seeking and receiving financial aid just to keep the lights on, and the odd sight of near-empty airports, American Airlines has injected a bit of whimsy and respect to the message of "hang on, we'll be back." This craftily edited video provides an appreciation for American's 785 women pilots, and that may just be enough for today. In case you were wondering, American had more than 18,000 pilots before the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Who cares what the plumbing of the pilots are? Fly safely and land smoothly and no one cares. Period.

Cool!

I’m just a xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, white male over 65 so I guess I really don’t get it other than they really have hat tossing down pat.

GREAT video. It made my day. Thanks!

Women pilots, huh? Has anyone ever heard of men pilots?

Honestly I DO NOT CARE what the sex of the pilot on a commercial flight.
Maybe my not caring about sex makes me sexist?

I do not care what the sex of the pilot happens to be.
Does that make me sexist?

Great video. Thanks.
