Mesa Airlines, in collaboration with PreFlight Camp, (a non profit organization that provides a fun, positive experience that uses aviation to teach girls confidence and encourage interest in aviation) recently hosted an exhilarating aviation day camp for a group of 15 young girls. These future aviators had the opportunity to explore various aspects of the airline industry, gaining firsthand insights into the world of flight. 🔍 Behind the Scenes Exploration: Hangar Tour: The girls stepped into the heart of aviation—the hangar! They marveled at the aircraft, learned about maintenance, and witnessed the intricate work that keeps planes soaring. Scheduling Department: Ever wondered how flight schedules are meticulously planned? The girls got an exclusive peek into the scheduling department, where they discovered the art of balancing flight routes and crew assignments. Dispatch Center: At the dispatch center, they saw the nerve center of flight operations. From weather updates to coordinating flight crews, they witnessed the critical role dispatchers play in ensuring safe and efficient flights. Training Center: The girls visited the training center, where pilots and flight attendants hone their skills. Simulators, emergency procedures, and teamwork—it was all part of the experience. Simulator Adventure: The highlight of the day? A trip to CAE, where they stepped into flight simulators. With hands on the controls, they navigated virtual skies, practicing takeoffs, landings, and handling emergencies. 🌠 Inspiring Dreams: Mesa Airlines believes in breaking gender barriers and inspiring young women to pursue aviation careers. By opening their doors to these girls, they’ve ignited dreams and planted seeds of possibility. 🙌 Thank you, PreFlight Camp, for fostering a love for aviation and empowering these future aviators and all the many volunteers who helped to make this day happen! 🚀 #preflightcamp #inspiringyoungaviators #mesaairlines #loveforaviation
