ije teško ako stvarno volite letenje, ako je to
vaš životni san. Naravno, tokom letačke obuke
bude težih i lakših perioda treninga, ali svi su
savladivi za one koji su zaljubljenu u avijaciju. Ja
jesam, i to odmalena. Možda zato što sam dete
pilota. Još u vrtiću sam govorila da ću jednog dana
biti pilot. Ta želja se nije promenila ni u pubertetu,
pa ni kasnije. U početku nisam imala podršku
roditelja, čak ni očevu.
Međutim, videvši da ne odustajem, već da sam sve
zagrejanija za to, konačno su me podržali.
Moj put se nije razlikovao od onog koji prolaze
moje kolege muškarci. Završila sam pilotsku akadem-
iju u Vršcu, posle toga su usledile dodatne obuke, a od
početka ove godine počela sam da gradim karijeru u
kompaniji

. Osim to-
ga, trenutno sam na master studijama ekonomije.
Moje kolege su izuzetni ljudi i istinski džentlmeni.
Ali u samom kokpitu nema podele na muško i žensko.
Svako od nas ima svoje dužnosti kako bi let protekao u
najboljem redu. Samim tim, nema mesta diskriminaci-
ji, a ni džentlmenskom povlađivanju.
Piloti nemaju fiksno radno vreme, često letimo
noću i za praznike, tako da ovaj posao zahteva određe-
na odricanja. Ali ništa ne pada toliko teško jer svaki let
ima svoju čar.

t’s not difficult if you really love flying, if that’s your
life’s dream. Naturally, during flight training there
are tougher and easier periods, but they can all be
overcome by those who are in love with aviation. I am, and
have been since I was little. Perhaps that’s because I’m a
pilot’s child. Way back in nursery school I would say that I
will be a pilot one day. That desire didn’t change during
puberty, or even later. I initially didn’t have the support of
my family, not even my father.
However, when they saw that I wasn’t giving up, they
started to warm up more to the idea, and finally support-
ed me.
My journey didn’t differ from the one traversed by my
male colleagues. I completed the pilot academy in Vršac,
after which additional training followed, and from the
start of this year I began building a career at Air Serbia,
on the Boeing 737-300 aircraft. Apart from that, I am cur-
rently completing my Master’s studies in economics.
My colleagues are exceptional people and true gentle-
men, but in the cockpit there is no division between men
and women. Each one of us has our own duties to ensure
the flight is operated according to the best standards. As
such, there is no room for discrimination.
Pilots don’t have fixed working hours; we often fly
at night and on public holidays, thus this profession de-
mands certain sacrifices. But nothing is too difficult to
handle, because every flight has its charm.
KAKO JE TO BITI ŽENA I PILOT?
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE AWOMAN AND A PILOT?
