A mother and daughter have made history by becoming the first mother-daughter pair to fly a commercial plane known as Skywest Airlines together. The lady identified as Captain Garrett Suzzy appeared in the cockpit with her daughter.
The revelation was made by the female marketer on LinkedIn, who shared an inspirational photo of a woman and her daughter in the cockpit.
Captain Darrett was among the twelve female pilots hired at Skywest Airlines, a female marketer revealed. She has been flying planes for more than 30 years.
The lady’s story also inspired LinkedIn users who quickly flooded the comment text area to congratulate them.
José Manuel Peix López wrote:
“Congratulations to both of you ladies, you are a reference for many other millions of women around the world. To achieve the objectives and what we desire, everything depends on attitude, hard work and perseverance.”
Chatelain Julia -van der Valk commented:
“What a great example of the importance for girls to have strong female role models. One of the reasons why my company focuses on the development of female leadership. So that our daughters can spread their wings and fly!”
Buchli E. Philipp, however, said both pilots should be discouraged due to the risk involved.
“Don’t want to rain on the parade, but from a risk perspective this should be ruled out given potential adverse power dynamics in the event of emergency. Those aware of the same problem due to cultural issues in Asian carriers in particular will be aware of this issue. The problem has led to several fatal crashes and the aviation regulators and carriers had to address it.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
