Employing female engineers in Biman
It was great to see the all-women staffed flight by Biman on International Women’s Day, where the Pilot-in-Command, all cabin crew, and ground staff were women. However, was it really an all-women flight? Was the engineering airworthiness release signed by a female engineer?
No one focuses on the importance of engineering until a technical glitch occurs, or someone makes a mistake. This culture must change, as engineering is still one of the most underrated yet important professions. I hope Biman, as well as other organisations, will seek out and hire more female engineers.
