Greetings and Good Mornings to dear passengers
This is your Captain Speaking: Neshat Jahandari, You're flight's pilot with First Officer Mrs. Firouzi
We're so glad to accompany with you on this flight journey
They told this job isn't suitable for ladies
You're wasting your time in learning flight trainings to become pilot
When Captain Jahandari had started her flights on airlines
We hear sometimes they make a joke or addressing Seriously that they won't allow you women to fly together!
This is not possible to allow two ladies fly as a cockpit crew together!
Although alongside these hardships, there are also unforgettable sweet memories.
One of my best sweet memories is that
one day a too little girl with her dad came to cockpit and said that:
See Daddy! The pilot is a lady! So I can be pilot one day!
This is the most beautiful event for me
that a little girl not only could become a pilot
even also anything thinking in her mind can do it if she really wants and tries.
These are flight controllers, engine indicators and engine power splitters
You would check all these while flying and also before flight?!
Of course! We check all these things certainly.
The Captain is the main pilot of the airplane
but although Co-pilot(F/O) plays an important role alongside her all usual duties
like under certain conditions that Captain or Senior First Officer wouldn't be present, can finish the flight with make the safe landings
I asked them about their flight experiences on first days that
what was people's reaction when they see just two ladies piloting the plane by themselves?
It's an honor for us that our people have such a positive view about this event.
after one hour flight and a happy landings
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Martyr Hasheminezhad Airport of Holy Mashhad
The reaction of people was really great!
Goodness the flight was so cool!
I wish they always be successful with god's help.
The lady pilots were really fantastic!
I had never flown with lady pilots before! It was such an excellent flight!
You must believe in, It's about trust and ability, It's not important wheter you are a man or woman
Zagros Airlines CEO, Abdorreza Mousavi:
"We hope that much more young ladies come to this field and get the pilot job."
and this field is also present for women
Civil Aviation Organization Spokesman, Reza Jafarzadeh:
"That's fine. There is no problem from civil aviation organization's point of view for airliners to hire and use female pilots and they must believe in women's ability in cockpit."
This flight and attendance of Iranian young ladies in flight crews are the Symbols of self-confidence,
Both showing the try to reach the goal
and also the daughters, mothers and women of our nation can play big roles alongside of men in addition to their duties to their families and children
Welcomed so much!
Thank you very much! Don't be tired!
Have a nice stay here!
You're welcome!
