Salaam Alayakuum Captain Hanadi – this is a most wonderful story – Clear Skies & Safe Landings To You – Cead Mile Failte i Aerophort mBaile Atha Cliath (EIDW) Eireann – as a man and as a fellow pilot, I think that women make better pilotsthan men and are better at everything else because our sisters use both sides of thier brain, which is a scientific fact – we very much look forward to seeing you where you can be assured of a “Hundred Thousand (Irish) Welcomes” here in Dublin, Republic of Ireland – our national airline Aer Lingus, has had women captains for some time, but I do realise that it is a big step for deeply conservative Muslim societies such as Saudi Arabia and also for Pakistan, where women have only recently been allowed join PIA’s International routes as First Officers (or Captains yet??) & only recently the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has recruited women fighter jet pilots who are every bit as good as the men (I think they are better than the men lol) – I would love to hear more about your story as I have read some articles on Google saying that you were trying to get into Saudi Arabian Airlines and were supported in this by the Saudi Air Force – I send you every good wish, now and for the future and the best of luck with your flying career – Love, Michaelxxxxxxx

A nice story, but unfortunately not a sign of any real change. Saudi Arabia is close to realization of Orwell's vision of a totalitarian state in 1984. Surely the department called "Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice" was inspired by that great work. This department's latest act has been to reaffirm opposition to giving women the right to drive a car. The Interior Minister has labelled the issue as "frivolous" in light of more pressing matters. In modern-day Saudi Arabia, denial of basic human rights to half the population is dismissed as mere "frivolity". One assumes the more pressing issues are those connected with amassing more wealth for the country's murderous oligarchical ruling class.

I think she;s stupid, there no problem with working but since when hijab cause complications.but trying to prove that she’s capable.we know saudi infact all women are capable.but abandoning hijab bcoz of the post or trying to make a morden picture is wrong nways to hell with her.

just because saudia Arabic is restricting women from some simple rights it doesnt mean that women have to rebel to the extreme and go against the rulings of Islam.

i dont understand …since when did hijab cause complications????if anything …not wearing it will cause complications. i dont think neglecting hijab is anything a women should be proud of.Plus she shouldnt be travelling without a mahram( im not sure whats the farthest distance she can be withour a mahram) As the prophet Muhamad pbuh ordered.

These are the kind of things that are really society-altering events. Far more effective than any other extensive reform project or proposal. She’s got wings – now some earthly predators want to clip them off. But the wind is no longer blowing in their favour. Fly away Hanadi and take as many of your sisters along as you can.

Thank you Ibrahim for telling me about the echo.cx thing. I’ll avoid it from now on. Maybe I need to go back and fix what is already there too.
