Review Harassment for female pilot Mary Bush Shipko grew up in South Florida around airplanes and pilots. Actually, flying was in her blood; her father was a pilot and later operated a small airport. Aviatrix: First Woman Pilot for Hughes Airwest outlines the trials and sufferings in her journey to become an accepted professional pilot. A professional pilot she became but accepted NO in capital letters. The male pilot corps at Hughes Airwest began sexual-harassment immediately upon her selection as the airlines first woman pilot. Her life soon became a horror. Eventually the harassment, which would never be tolerated today, forced her out of the cockpit. Bushs youth and desire to fly is a marvelous story in itself. By the end of 1972, at the age of 23, she had earned her multi engine pilots license, by June in 1973 she had a commercial license and her instrument ratings were achieved by September 1973. Her keen effort demonstrated that hard work, persistence and learning can overcome all kinds of obstacles, except sexual-harassment. Although working with the airlines was her goal, Bush was desperate for flying experience and money and put in hours and months hauling cargo. These pilots were called freight dogs, working for fly-by-night operators in all types of short haul missions. She also lost opportunity with other carriers because she was a woman. Mary Bush Shipko, who lives at Gloucester Point, has written a difficult story-her story its and its well worth the read. by Wilford Kale, Kale On Books, The Virginia Gazette, August 5, 2020 Aviatrix is the captivating story of one of the first women pilots to break into the all-male airline flight cockpit. Hired in 1976 at Hughes Airwest, Mary Bush made a herculean effort to overcome the resistance and harassment she faced in such a position, but it was to no avail. Mary was introduced to flying at an early age. She started flying as a teenager, studying and training long hours until she painstakingly obtained her ratings one by one. Financial hardships hit the family hard, though, and Mary--desperate for both flying experience and money--headed down to the infamous Corrosion Corner in South Florida to be a freight dog for fly-by-night operators. However, she was frequently denied work because of her gender. She kept praying, working, and struggling, though, with the hope of one day becoming an airline pilot, a job in which she would have both steady work and steady pay.Then, after her brother is lost at sea in one of the family airplanes, Mary is more determined than ever to become a pilot at an airline, just as her brother had planned to be. So, when she is offered the position at Hughes Airwest, Mary is thrilled. Going out west to fly jets was everything she had dreamed of and worked for. The discrimination and lewd remarks she had often faced in Florida, though, had not even come close to preparing her for the relentless harassment she would encounter as the first woman pilot at an airline. A close-up and enthralling account of Marys struggles as an aviation pioneer, this book will astound, appall, and inspire you. From Kirkus Reviews A pioneering pilot’s story of breaking gender barriers, fighting discrimination, and making peace with her experience. In this debut memoir, Shipko takes readers through her career in aviation, from washing planes at her father’s fixed-based operation at a South Florida airport to becoming the first female pilot hired by Hughes Airwest, in 1976. Although she stopped flying in 1981, Shipko’s deep knowledge of aviation and the personalities of each plane she flew are evident in her detailed descriptions of flights taken decades ago. Her early years as a pilot were spent doing freelance flying out of Miami’s Corrosion Corner-“history, danger, and romance all wrapped up in one”-ferrying cargo and passengers throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
