What this episode covers

On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we chat with Katherine Moloney, a pilot and founder of Elevate(her) Aviation , an organization dedicated to raising the percentage of women in aviation careers around the world. Elevate(her)’s research has led to some obvious immediate changes that would be beneficial to the industry overall and others that offer a more sustainable path to growing the number of women joining—and staying—in aviation. Also in this week’s episode, * Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines now have a single operating certificate and we say goodbye to the “Hawaiian” call sign . * The airACT 747 has been removed from the sea in Hong Kong and investigators are beginning their examination of the data recorders. * The preliminary report on the near collision between a Nouvelair A320 and easyJet A320 in Nice points to just how close the aircraft were to disaster * Hurricane Hunter aircraft collecting data on Hurricane Melissa twice needed to turn out of the storm due to severe turbulence. * A Lufthansa flight took to the long way to Cape Town this week, we discuss the need for the detour.
