#43 Katy Lee - Line in the Sand
Our next guest is Katy Lee MBE: a First Officer on the 737-800, RAF Air Training Corps officer, and Chair of Trustees for the charity Aviation in Reach. Such a passion for flying is unsurprising given Katy’s upbringing by her flight crew parents - Katy was able to pursue this passion despite academic pressures in school, by heading straight to flying school as opposed to university. Together with fellow commercial pilot Harriett, she discusses some of the challenges that she faced in her training, as well as the positive impact that gender neutral language and policies can have in creating an equitable platform.
Katy also shares how the economic downturn of 2009 led to her flying career being prematurely paused, and she describes how a temporary switch to teaching has continued to drive her support of youth endeavours.
