Tara Wright & Mallory Cave Make History

Many of us are not interested in heading to Alaska anytime soon because we are just getting use to some warm weather, after winter seemed like it would never leave. But, just in case you’re feeling like getting frigid, you’ll be glad to know you’re in good hands if you decide to board Alaska Airlines. Hopefully, you will get a chance to board a plane led by some history making crew members, who are making waves and marking their place in history.

On Mothers Day, the flight started out like any other flight with boring directions and instructions of how to exactly strap on that flotation device. Captain Tara Wright alongside First Officer Mallory Cave made their appearance in the cabin and brightened the passengers’ day with an exciting announcement. Wright had to let them know that their flight would be like no other Alaskan Air flight in the last 86 years. In her address, she stated:

“I’d like to introduce myself and my crew… you’re sharing a pretty interesting piece of Alaska Airlines history this morning. You’ll be piloted by two African-American female pilots, for the first time in Alaska Airlines history. You’re making [history] this morning, whether you’re awake or not,” joked Wright, as passengers began to applaud.

As the passengers continued to applaud these groundbreaking women, they also requested the pilots pose for pictures which you can see below. This was an amazing Mothers Day story, Black history event, and Women’s history milestone – all at the same damn time!

Alaska Airline cosigned this announcement by stating, “What Bessie Coleman started in 1921, we continue here.” One would think the airline would have gave the public something more, but we’ll just ignore that for right now.

Congratulations to Captain Tara Wright and First Officer Mallory Cave, two history-making pilots!
