Yesterday, the ladies brainstormed some great ideas for the year ahead to ensure that you all get the best out of the chapter & thanks to our new WAI-CFL President & her husband Scot Broman, board members also got to practice flying a Boeing 737 Max simulator! We also want to extend our thanks to the warm welcome of the Allegiant Air Training Center & Ground Sim instructor, Brett Weber, for the amazing experience! We look forward to sharing all the wonderful events and activities we are planning for this upcoming year! Let’s have a great year! 🫂👏🏼✨
