The Wonder Girls Club with Flight Commander Rucha Nirale

Flight Commander Rucha Nirale fills this Wonder Girls Club session with her characteristic charm, and insightful advice into the life of a Pilot and the challenges that come along with it.

Our 7 Key Takeaways:

Chasing your dreams can be very intimidating. But always think about why you’re doing what you’re doing. Remember that feeling of happiness that floods you every time you do what you love. Keep that in your head, especially when the going gets hard.
Always study in a way that you understand things. Don’t learn for the sake of grades. When you truly understand the thing you’re studying, you’ll never forget it.
Your personalities can be vastly different from those around you and that’s fine. But what matters is having a positive attitude. As a pilot, you not only enjoy the flight but also have to make it enjoyable for everyone around you.
Travelling can become a challenge as a pilot. You’re constantly on the move, you’re sharing rooms, places, spaces. All of this requires an attitude of adjustment and accommodation.
Every flight brings about its share of problems. Sometimes there are medical emergencies, and/or weather fluctuations. Keeping a cool mind through it all is paramount.
As a Flight Commander, you’re foremost a leader. A good leader ensures that they take everyone along with them. They have good communication skills. They are someone who will always keep their team united. They will hear everyone out. Good leaders let others shine and take the forefront.
And finally, no matter what career you pursue in life, remember that hobbies matter. Don’t give them up.
