I am happy for her. She had a dream and it came true for her. Congratulations young lady!
A lot of people cannot understand those who love to fly. This is clearly a pilot who loves it so much she has progressed to the left seat of a 77. I applaud her accomplishment and hope she continues to enjoy her career.
I am fortunate that my first instructor is a woman who not only taught me the rules and techniques to fly, but to "smell the roses" while doing it. My personal flying has always been a joy because of the lessons she taught beyond "fly the airplane."
Women in aviation is a good thing.

most captains have flown the smaller jets- 737, 767, before being coronated as captain for 777. However the airline seniority system works, it seems just a little unusual. 30 years old- how many total hours in turbine aircraft is another fact we need to know here.
i respectfully disagree. 1. we do not need to know any more info. I am quite sure she is aware of all systems,protocols and flying skills. I am quite sure that she had to be qualified to be in that chair. she might have had a leg up by not having to forget conflicting systems. remember when boing changed the air condition ( i think) on the 737's which resulted in a crash.
I would hope that the training and evaluation curriculum at Air India is better in the B777 program than it was in its A320 program that graduated the "gear down wonder crew" mentioned in an earlier squawk.
I agree 30west. In my career I went through training as I moved through the elevations of planes, 707-DC 8-61,737,757,747series and it did take time to acquaint yourself in each model. I believe a young commercial pilot flying middle to heavy jet aircrafts with 1500 hours could move into a 747 no problem.
I never had enough seniority to fly the Seven-Four before my company retired that fleet. Those that I flew with that had flown it loved flying it, a gentle 750,000 +/- pound giant! Some referred to it as flying a very big C172, an huge exaggeration that made the point.
It was underpowered so it was prob just like flying a 172
You flew it?
Well said, my biggest joy would have been flying the kick-but 757. So much power and were great for smaller strips like in south america and the caribbean. Fun plane to hand fly. when I flew the 75 into the old Kai Tak airport on the checker Board approach diving down to the runway with a hard wind on the starboard side then holding the rudder with my right leg, kick the left rudder and dropping on the runway, ya that was cool when the wind would hit +35kt. Also hand flew every hour and a half you could literally feel a vibration if an engine had a problem throttle back each engine until you found the one that was going to cause a problem before it became a problem throttle it back to 25% inform maintenance save the engine take a little longer to arrive, have it replace before the next flight. the first officers that did not ask me what I was doing would no longer be in my right seat or receive a recommendation for captain. l,
Where'd you fly the 75 from, going into Hong Kong?
where r u out of Thrustt
