Michelle and Sarah wanted to mark their flight together to highlight the importance of encouraging more young people to consider a pilot career in the future and drive greater diversity in the flight deck. Michelle said: “Moments like this don’t happen very often at all. In my 10 years of flying, it’s very rare that I get to fly with someone who looks like me and that’s exactly why I had to share this picture. As black, female pilots we know that we are such a minority within the pilot community and part of that is due to lack of representation and role models. We hope that young people see this picture and feel inspired and encouraged to achieve their goals, regardless of the barriers that might be in their way. We hope that young people feel empowered to breakdown stereotypes and not be defined by them.” Improving diversity in the pilot community continues to be an important focus for us and by continuing to raise the profile of the career through visible role models, we want ensure there is a diverse community of aspiring pilots for the future. #easyjet #easyjetcareers
We celebrate uniqueness and being kind to others and ourselves all year round and this includes our solidarity with and support of our LGBTQ+ communities. In Pride Month our ‘Pride in your City’ campaign took flight, encouraging our people to share their experiences of local Pride events across our European network taking place this year, with the support of our very own #prideinyourcity guide. Garry Wilson, CEO easyJet holidays said: “For many of us, it’s really important to recognise key moments in the calendar year, such as Pride, which is an opportunity to remember and celebrate those who struggled and fought for the recognition and equality which many take for granted today, often at a terrible cost to their own wellbeing. We believe that it is equally important to create an environment where we can all be ourselves without fear of prejudice and be kind to one another, not just for a month or at a certain point in time, but all year round. It is a right for everyone, regardless of who we are.” #easyjet #easyjetholidays #easyjetcareers #youmatter #belongherewithus
