Hungarian Boeing pilot woman became a star on TikTok!

Three years ago, she worked in the HR sector. Now, she pilots a Boeing. Evelin still receives acrimonious remarks from the passengers, but she thinks she found her dream job. The training was expensive, and she needed extreme perseverance. Now, she promotes her work via popular TikTok videos, highlighting that it is not impossible to become and work as a pilot for anyone.

Flying a Boeing is still considered a “manly” job by many. Therefore, Evelin still gets some rude remarks from the passengers. Some say they did not write a will or they will crash if a woman sits in the pilot’s chair.

That is because there are only a few female pilots in Hungary. The job is still considered to be for men by many. Thus, lots of women do not even try to become pilots. Evelin is the odd one out.

She worked in the HR sector three years ago, she loved to fly, but never thought she would ever sit in the cockpit of a Boeing and be responsible for more than a hundred passengers.

It was after an airport visit that she decided to become a pilot. First, she completed the training for a single-engine jet and then came the twinjet. Finally, she got her license for the Boeing passenger carriers. She reached her goal in only three years from zero.

Of course, she needed a lot of money and perseverance. She did not lack the latter and took up student loan for the former. Furthermore, she had three jobs, all connected to flying.

She had her first journey on 2 October to Sofia. The airline she works for has only three female pilots, even though women can choose this career freely. Evelin highlighted that the job did not require any skills women did not have. According to her videos, she works for Ryanair.

She has lots of fans following her TikTok account. In her videos, she promotes flying and talks about how you can become a pilot.

As a result, many passengers already recognise her at the airport, so she became kind of a celebrity.

For example, her most popular video, sharing how much pilot training costs, was viewed by almost 1 million people.
