The first African-American, all-female flight crew was honored Thursday in a “First in Flight” luncheon after they made history in 2009.
The luncheon, hosted by the Metro Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA), was to not only honor the women but also Black History Month.
On Feb. 12, 2009, Captain Rachelle Jones Kerr, First Officer Stephanie Grant and flight attendants Robin Rogers and Diana Galloway flew and attended Atlantic Southeast Airlines’ Flight 5202 from Atlanta to Nashville and returned to Atlanta on Flight 5106.
“We’re here to prove, if you want to be a pilot, a flight attendant, you can do it. Just dream big.”
Captain Rachelle Jones Kerr said
hearing the word ‘salty’ in it’s original context is so weird now bc someone could literally just say ‘these pringles are so salty’ and I’ll just be thinking damn who’ve those pringles been vagueing about now
