Topic: Flying Into History! 4 years ago today..... Posted: Feb 12 2013 at 4:34pm |
First all African American Female Crew of a Commercial Airliner
I think ASA might have made History!
Our African-American women
continue to demonstrate professionalism, intelligence and unlimited
potential as they contribute to our overall struggle for unlimited
freedom, access and opportunity in America . The sisters on Flights 5202
and 5106 (a jet owned by Atlantic Southeast Airlines) have proven that
African-American women can do anything if just given a fair opportunity.
Their aviation success is a very proud moment for us all.
I'm
not 100% sure, but I'm almost positive that we might have made history
on Thursday, February 12, 2009. I was a part of an all African American
female crew. I'm attaching the photos and you can pass them along to
whomever. We were so excited!
We operated ASA flight 5202 from
Atlanta to Nashville and flight 5106 from Nashville back to Atlanta .
The crew included CPT Rachelle Jones, FO Stephanie Grant, FA's Robin Rogers and Diana Galloway! | Be inspired to dream big and reach for the clouds my sisters!

They look a hell of a lot better than the woman I saw on my flight to and from Singapore. That wig she had on her head made me twitch.
