I know that I said I was gone (and I
am)....but this happening warmed my heart
so much that I had to come back and
post it.
The First
ALL African-American
Women Flight Crew
On February 12, 2009, Captain Rachelle Jones
and First Officer Stephanie Brown Grant made history as the first all
African- American female flight crew to
operate a commercial jet revenue
flight.
Additionally, the flight's crew included
two African-American female flight
attendants, Robin Rogers and Diana Galloway
They operated flight 5202 from
Atlanta to Nashville and flight
5106 from Nashville back to Atlanta.

Really wonderful positive news 
March, my birth month, is Women's
History Month.
My sons enjoyed hearing the story
last night.
We need more stories like this.
Please spread it...

What is the point? Think about it. Doing what they are supposed to do? Doing what everyone else does? Or doing something far and above everyone else? Just curious...... |

This story does warm the heart. It is good for children--all children--to see this, when it is likely that their view of folks in charge of airplanes is of people who are male and White. The pilot and first officer will have their names in the history books--as well they should.
But it will only be true "progress" when a story like this is a non-story because it is so common. |

It is notable that this rare hook-up was random and just happened to have occurred during Black History month! |

Negative, Chicago control. Rerouting left heading 270, out of three five thousand leveling at two nine thousand. Heavy thermals at 25 miles out. Looks like Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles off the port side. Requesting permission to change course heading. Do you copy? |
