The sky's the limit!
Not so long ago, almost all pilots were men. Women working for airlines used to be part of the cabin crew, serving drinks and meals to passengers. And while it is still true that the majority of people who work as pilots are men, more women are entering the field.
Sara Milton is one of them. “I used to be afraid of flying when I was a child,” she says, “but my parents insisted on taking us on holiday abroad. I would argue and cry, but it never made any difference, so I eventually got used to it.”
“Then, on one trip, we had a female pilot, which I wasn't used to seeing, and I suddenly thought that I'd love to do that job! My mum reminded me of my fear of flying and how I always complained about going on planes — but from that moment on, I was determined to become a pilot.”
“When you take into account the long hours and all the training you have to do, it might seem like hard work, but it's worth it!”
