Shhhh...

This week my boss brought forward an idea he has for me in the near future. It would be a very demanding position, one that I will need to think a lot about. I am not allowed to tell anyone of it because he needs to go through HR to create the position, so I will try to keep what I say very general.



This position would be given to me because I am the only woman and it is one that would be good for the woman pilot to hold because it is such a male dominated environment. He needs a strong woman who is good at what she does and he thinks I would be good at this role! So exciting! This would bother the Flight Instructor who had been working there a month before I was hired because I am still the rookie. This would ultimately lead to the usual banter about how everything in this career is made easier for a woman. Which is not true by any means. They were always just jealous that a woman could fly just as well as they could ;-). Although this situation is different because I was in fact given the opportunity because I am a woman, but I wouldn't be offered it if my boss didn't think I was fully capable and qualified. Very exciting.



An update on the Air Race Classic: I had submitted the final spreadsheet to my boss and he confided in one of the Aviation Professor so get her support in the matter. We also found out there is very limited funds remaining in the Aviation Department, which may lead to approaching someone of a higher ranking at the college.



We'll see how it goes...
