Asian female pilots

[JaceTheAce]

There was one at PDT flying the Dash 8 - does that count? She left to go to Lynx. We all know what happened to Lynx, unfortunately.

Better question: Why wouldn't there be any?

Because Asian parents don't want their kids to become pilots; doctor or engineer, those are the 2 choices.

They have since moved on to Southwest and FedEx.QUOTE]

As will the rest sooner than us.

Wrong. ANA and its' subsidiary carriers all have females in their training programs. As well, Eva Air hires a good deal of females from Taiwan to fly for them.

I deal with many Chinese programs on a daily basis from about 10ish airlines. Out of 300 students there is only one female pilot. Just calling it based on my experience w/ this program so far.

LOL, so true. Good thing my parents weren't typical asian parents. Or its probably the fact that early on they realized I wasn't smart enough to become a doctor or engineer. Hence, why I am at a regional making 20,000 a year.

I know this thread is about asian women flying in the US, but here's a couple of videos on ANA's first woman pilot which is pretty impressive.

Anyone wanna take a 767 around in the pattern?

BTW, there are more asian women flying out in Hawaii (Hawaiian, Aloha-when they were still flying, Delta-NWA)

I met one who was a FO for Eagle a while back. We were both catching a ride on Southwest out of MDW.

Oh crap! I forgot about the one that flies for Ameriflight. She's even a buddy of mines.

It's pretty much the same with Indian parents but you could add one more and that is anything having to do with a computer.
