As we celebrate Women in Aviation Week, we want to honor Sheila Sawtelle, the founder of Monarch Air! Her love for aviation not only led to the founding of Monarch Air but also served as inspiration for her granddaughters: Lesley, a pilot for Southwest; Niki, a private pilot; and Gracie, a student pilot on her journey to becoming a private pilot. Sheila has empowered not just her granddaughters but countless other female pilots as well. ✈️ We are proud to continue Sheila's legacy here at Monarch Air, inspiring future generations of female aviators. 💙
