Meet Japan's first female airline captain
Ari Fuji was at high school when she realized she wanted to earn her wings and become a pilot., where female pilots were largely unheard of, it was a dream that meant reaching for the sky.."The Self Defense Forces weren't recruiting women because there were no female pilots back then. I realized, all of a sudden, that the route to becoming a pilot was unexpectedly narrow."Related contentShe didn't give up.
After obtaining her pilot's license in the United States, she returned to Japan to try her hand at becoming a commercial airline pilot -- but was met with negativity. "On the outside, I felt I could never show weakness. The last thing I wanted to hear from people if I failed was that it is still too hard out there for women.""People, especially older pilots, weren't used to a female captain and had little idea of how to interact with me," says Fuji.
