This panel featured seven speakers from many different backgrounds, highlighting opportunities within the aviation industry as a whole. The panel included discussions on DEI initiatives and their importance as well as options for those aviation students who might not follow a traditional pilot career path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a priority to diversify the flight deck,\u201d said Elliot Wilson, captain at Alaska Airlines. \u201cIt\u2019s relatable. If I see someone who looks like me, it makes it a career that seems like I can do that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other panelists echoed Wilson\u2019s statement, sharing stories and experiences. Panelists also showed students less well-known opportunities within the industry and encouraged flexibility when moving into a career in aviation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour life will change,\u201d said Martin Rottler, manager of pilot development at Delta Air Lines. \u201cIt is not a failure to step back and say, \u2018I want to do something different.\u2019 It\u2019s cool to swerve, and there are opportunities beyond being a pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Faces of the Industry continued with the \u201cGenerations of Women in Aviation\u201d panel. This panel featured women in different phases of their aviation careers, and sharing unique perspectives on the industry. The panelists answered questions ranging from how to face adversity as a female aviator to sharing fun experiences on the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very intimidating when I first made it into flight training,\u201d said Laur\u00e9l \u201cLo\u201d Johnson, first officer at Horizon Air. \u201cI didn\u2019t come from an aviation background, but it made me learn how to be a better student and to take my time as I learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to try new things,\u201d added Margit Mckee, safety program manager for the Federal Aviation Administration. \u201cDon&#8217;t be afraid to fail or to learn from the opportunities, especially the ones that did not go well. Keep your opportunities open and don\u2019t give up. If you come into a tough situation, persevere.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32879\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32879\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/Capture.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/Capture.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/Capture-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/Capture-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Led by UND&#8217;s aviation student diversity groups, Faces of the Industry is a daylong event dedicated to exploring issues of diversity in the aviation industry.
