Welcome to The Crew Room. A podcast where I speak to my friends about their amazing aviation careers.

This week is the last episode for season 1 of The Crew Room. To end this season, my special guest is Deborah Lawrie. Deborah began her flying journey as a 16 year old at Moorabbin Airport when her father bought her 2 flying lessons. From that moment, she was hooked.

While Deborah is widely know in aviation circles as the female pilot that took on Ansett Australia in a discrimination case that lasted almost a year, because according to then owner and founder Reginald Ansett "women do not belong in the cockpit".

But there is so much more to Deborah's aviation career, and it was truly an honour to chat with her about everything else that made up her stellar 40 year commercial pilot career.

More recently, she received and Order of Australia for her contribution to aviation, and was also inducted into The Australian Aviation Hall of Fame, both accolades that she very much deserves.

If you want to read about more of her story, and other wonderful Australian female aviators, you can purchase the book "Australian Women Pilots. Amazing true stories of women in the air" by Kathy Mexted (I purchased my copy from Amazon).

Welcome to The Crew Room. A podcast where I speak to my friends about their amazing aviation careers.

This week I speak to someone I have known my whole life.... My sister Jodie. She started her career in aviation when she secured a job as a Reservations Agent with Virgin Blue. In fact, I was one of her Trainers. After a year on the phones, she moved in to Group Travel handling million dollar accounts. However, Jodie knew that she always had wanted to fly. When I moved to Cabin Crew, I told her how amazing it was, and she needed to transfer when she could. And as they say, the rest is history.

I really enjoyed chatting with my sister about her life at Virgin Australia, and I was lucky to be apart of many of her memories of her time at the airline. I really hope you enjoy listening to our chat.

Welcome to The Crew Room. A podcast where I speak to my friends about their amazing aviation careers.

This week I chat to my amazing friend Sherin. She started her aviation journey with Ansett Australia, and in this episode we realise that we lost our jobs with the airline almost 20 years ago. It was a fantastic journey down memory lane with Sherin. We also chatted about her other flying jobs with Jetstar and Virgin Australia (Virgin Blue at the time) and we discuss all the other amazing careers she has had outside of flying.
