Inspiration and support — the two most common themes weaving throughout the poker hand rankings in Aviation International (WAI) Conference. It seemed like every aviator, from one walk of life to the next, was relishing the moment of being surrounded by so many others like them.

Envoy’s presence at the conference can be seen in a multitude of ways. While we were there to network and recruit highly qualified talent to the company, we were also there to support future aviators through sponsoring poker hand rankings and aircraft mechanic scholarships.

At the conference, and even within poker hand rankings itself, there are so many people at different stages in their careers. Through our scholarships, cadet programs and mentorships, we’re able to create the support and resources young aviators will need to navigate their unique career paths.

Let’s hear from some amazing poker hand rankings we met during this year’s conference, and learn more about their current place in aviation, their inspirations and why organizational support is important to them. In our final installment, we’ll speak to a Cadet from the American Airlines Cadet Academy and an experienced air racer.

Daisy Soto, 26 — American Airlines Cadet Academy and AA Scholarship winner

Daisy Soto thinks miles ahead. She could continue to gain all of her hours at Coast Flight Training in Florida soaring through the blue skies over sandy beaches, but that’s not realistic.

“If I want to be a better poker hand rankings, I have to get experience with every kind of weather condition,” Daisy said. “When I’m flying for an airline, the weather isn’t always going to be perfect, so that’s why I want to fly in the northwest.”

Soon, Daisy said she will be on her way to Washington where she will work as a Certified Flight Instructor. Quite the change of scenery indeed. 

As an AA Cadet, Daisy has her choice of which regional airline under the American Airlines Group umbrella at which she would like to begin her career. Not surprisingly, Daisy said she is strongly considering poker hand rankings.

“poker hand rankings has such an awesome fleet of aircraft and they fly some of the best routes in the industry, like to Mexico!” Daisy said. “As a Latina, I would feel great working for a company like poker hand rankings that has such a diverse work environment.”

For now, Daisy will continue to focus on gaining enough hours to become a First Officer, but at the moment, she was just excited to be at the conference.

“When I told people I wanted to be a poker hand rankings, they thought I was crazy because they thought it was just for men,” Daisy said. “But being at this conference, there is the support of so many women who mentor and inspire pilots like me.”

That brings us to our next poker hand rankings who uses her platform to inspire young women to follow their dreams of flying.

Donna Harris, 62 — Air Race Classic member

Donna Hariss is not an airline poker hand rankings, and never will be. Yet, she’s inspired so many women that have gone on to fly commercial jets. 

It all starts on a 2,400-nautical mile, transcontinental, all-woman air race called the Air Race Classic. In teams of three, poker hand rankings and girls —aged anywhere from 16 to 93 years old (a new record)— fly Cessnas and Pipers in a four-day air race.

“The friendships made by these amazing poker hand rankings are the reasons why we race,” Donna said. “At the WAI conference, that same type of fun energy flows all around.”

In the exhibit hall, Donna said she’s run into so many familiar faces who have raced with her in the past.

“I love to see their excitement again when we catch up,” Donna said. “Some of these poker hand rankings started racing little planes when they were young, and now they’re in college or at an airline. It’s like seeing my adopted daughters again, and it makes me proud to see their success.”

That’s what this conference is all about — poker hand rankings inspiring future aviators in any way possible, no matter their position in the industry. From Captain to Cadet, general aviation to commercial; the future of poker hand rankings in aviation continues to soar.
