@4-Methylaminorex Well, good thing is that she's not defined by the devil but by the Creator. She is not what the devil says she is but what the Creator says she is so your point is invalid
@4-Methylaminorex oh how miserable of a person you must be to say such nasty things, hurt people love hurting other ppl. Go get some therapy instead of taking your inner hatred out on others.
What exactly did she “pave the way” for? What did her being a pilot help anyone else accomplish? I’m disgusted and disappointed we are admiring someone for doing something that MILLIONS before her did. MILLIONS literally MILLIONSof white men were pilots before and during this black womans time as a pilot. What about them?
@@CongressSux1776 She paved the way for other Black women by taking on a job predominantly done by white men and succeeded. Stop being a jerk and get some help, keyboard warrior.
@@CongressSux1776for more women and black women especially to consider this as a career path, rather than write it off as something only men or white men do. Often times people will “stay in their lane” because they are used to the status quo. And the impact of being inspired to try something because you see someone you relate to doing it, is significant. Of course it doesn’t mean people won’t consider trying to pursue this role at all, but having a relatable role model of some kind definitely increases the amount of people who wouldn’t consider it. There’s really no need for you to be feeling such strong negative emotions about this lool, no one dissed the white male pilots. I’m pretty sure all of us here respect them greatly too.
Anyone who retires is actually a hats off just for putting in the hours. This just so happens to be next level and yes you were a good pilot because you are still here and landing all of these passengers safely. Respect!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Captain Theresa Claiborne 👏👏👏 Thank You For Being A Game Changer 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
After I graduated from college in 1971, I returned home looking for a teaching job. I saw in the local paper that the predominantly African American high school in ur city was looking for teachers. In this southern city, I grew up under Jim Crow, and there weren't any mechanisms in place for black and white children to even meet one another. I applied and got a teaching position. I was also a new private pilot as well. I would, with their parents' permission, take interested students up flying in a rented Cessna 172. Long story short, two students got bitten by the aviation bug, graduated from college, and AFROTC, and went on to fly C-130's. I still get Christmas cards from both of them every year. I'm 76 now and am still flying. Everybody needs to bring their own spark to the party. I congratulate this lovely lady for her accomplishment in aviation. This old guy is proud of you. Enjoy your exciting future!
Well done, Captain! Your hard work and skill are an inspiration. And you probably made some of the CRM training your colleagues took way more real. Thank you.
This woman is an excellent role model for our younger generation 🎉👍👏 she stayed focused on what she wanted and worked hard to get where she is now. I wish her all the best and congratulations on her retirement.💯🤗😁❤️
This is a very inspiring story. A real role model for the younger generation. And a lesson to us to never give up. Persue your dreams. Congratulations to this lady. Enjoy your retirement ❤
Oh yeah and how cool is she! I guess another one of those Black Jobs! Congratulations Captain Claiborne and wishing you much joy in your retirement! God bless you for being one of many that open the doors for other young Black woman and for crashing down that glass ceiling!!!
Awesome! "On final to retirement." My nephew currently flies for United and so does his wife. Love your commitment and dedication and "Thanks for your service." I was an assistant Crew Chief on the KC-135Q from 1974 to 1977. We refueled the SR-71 out of Beale AFB.
Theresa is an awesome lady. I served with her on Active Duty at Castle AFB in California. She was awesome then and amazing now! So proud of her. What a leader. ❤
Greetings from Chicago south side…Captain Claiborne my dad would have been so proud of you. He was in the Army Air Corps. Thank you for leading the way and inspiring us all.
OUTSTANDING ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS CAPTAIN CLAIBORNE ON YOUR 34 YEARS FLYING, RETIREMENT, AND MENTORING BLACK WOMEN FUTURE PILOTS👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
You are a beautiful woman you are an amazing person. You prove that race means nothing race is human human people do great things and we should all learn from this we should all be kind and beautiful to each other and understand that we all have talents. I'm a pilot but never achieved anything near what you have done but I am so proud of you that it brings tears to my eyes watching this video. Thank you for being such an amazing person I'm almost 70 years old and I'm blown away by your accomplishments
What I love about her is that nobody just gave her a position: she studied, she put in the hard work and she not only did it but she did it well. She's a beautiful and intelligent lady. Kudos
I kinda wonder if Charlie Kirk would have stayed on the flight if she'd been flying it. He seems to think that they just give it to black women and that they don't qualify for it. Good for her for doing her black job with distinction.
@@JohnCefferillo I have family in the airline industry there was a shortage of pilots and they hired pilots that under other circumstances they would not have hired them
@@mideleyi940 there is no doubt that she is more than qualified. Generally I don't think people have a problem with people who are qualified for a position. The problem is with people given jobs because of their gender, race etc and they do not have the qualifications.
'The sacrifices that my mother made to do what I do." Beautiful! And you did do. You made her dreams of seeing her daughter's dreams come true. Enjoy your retirement Theresa and may God keep your and your family safe.
Powerful, wonderful, lovely and such a strengh in her words. She is a true super hero no matter what!!! So looking up to her. Love from a Lufthansa Flight attendant from Germany who loves her overseas flights to the US 🇺🇸 ✈️
She was my captain to Lisbon, she was amazing!!! enjoy your retirement Theresa!!!
😊 she sounds like a great person

You made your Mom proud. Well done
I was just thinking in those 34 years she may had unknowingly been my pilot. That's so koo! I'm proud of you and all the others.
Theresa Claiborne is a badass! Love that smile! Such an inspiration for others. You made your mom so proud. Congrats and Happy Retirement!
Proud of you my sister ! Thanks for paving the way ❤
