Soaring High! – Jamaican woman pilots one of the world’s most advanced aircraft!
In a profession dominated my men, a lady from our tiny island has achieved a feat that is sure to evoke envy in the hearts of many who work in the aviation industry.
She currently pilots one of the world’s most impressive aircraft – the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The 787 Dreamliner is Boeing’s most advanced airplane and purchasing one will set you back by a cool USD $250 million.
According to United Hemispheres, First Officer Deon Byrne has made the unusual her standard for her entire life, especially in her career choice: She has flown for United for nine years, in a profession where she doesn’t see many who look like her.
“There are not a lot of women that I know of doing this,” Byrne says. “When I used to fly commuters, because I have a younger-looking face than my age, I got comments like, ‘God help us.’ But nowadays, people feel proud.”
At the tender age of 13, Byrne, the daughter of a single mother, moved to New York. “I was into school and studying, and I was the outcast.”
She explains the movie Top Gun and a chance encounter with Air Force recruiters motivated her. “I was pre-med at St. John’s University in New York. While I was at the career fair recruiting events every spring, I would ask the Air Force recruiters, ‘Is there any way I can be a doctor and fly? And they told me ‘no’ every time.’”

She studied for a semester at American University of Rome, then finished college early, with medical school, flying and travel still in her sights. She took a job as a flight attendant to pay for flying school. “The company I worked for did a lot of charters for other airlines and U.S. military. Whenever there was a hot spot in the world, that carrier would either transport troops or transport refugees. I flew around the world twice by the age of 21 or 22. It was a pretty neat experience.”
Throughout her career, proving herself has helped Byrne overcome skepticism and has opened doors, including earning a berth flying United’s newest metal, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. “I was one of the first all-female 787 flight crews,” she says. “It’s one of the most high-tech airplanes, and we were flying it. I had beaucoup customers who were very glad to see us. We did a great job.”
Flying the 787 is her dream assignment. “It brings a smile to my face every time I step into that cockpit,” she says. “And customers are excited. People will cut through Houston just to ride on the 787. It’s one of the fastest airplanes out there. We cruise really high. Someone takes off before us, and we’ll pass them over the Atlantic. I love this airplane.”
Isn’t it a truly awesome feeling to see Jamaicans achieve big things? Share your thoughts.

A Jamaican man once told me that Jamaicans are the smartest people in the world. Many people misunderstood what he said, that is, he was not advocating slavery, he was saying that Jamaicans are the smartest people because their superior gene pool.

Yea! Such great accomplishments should serve to convince especially our youth that “sky is the limit”. But inherent in that should be a realization that what it really takes is personal ambition and yeoman-like effort…not mere “waggonism”…
This like a breath of fresh air….I am beside myself glee…what a remarkable young woman….!!
Soooo very proud of you young lady…..great role model for the up and coming ambitious Jamaicans….!
BRAVO…BRAVO….BRAVO….I say as I raise my glass to you Miss Bryne

Jamaica,,Jamaica!!. Keep holding your head up high,and run for the stars. .
Great work
Ha ha ! There’s always something good about my country exept crime .dont forget pur once air ja have one of the world’s best flight record and the best pilot .#proudjamaican.
Humbly Proud….may God richly bless you
We Jamaican can do anything we put our mind to, more love to those who done it
Despite our size what really matters is our desire, ambition and fortitude to soar to great heights and establish distinctive characteristics which automatically bring global or international admiration and recognition. Sadly, some of our leaders establish and pursue paths with destructive consequences to ambitious minds. They should be trained to commend rather than condemn and ‘come along’, rather than ‘come at’. Honesty, integrity and Justice should be the critical bases for leadership and mankind. Heartiest congrats to the lady, and may she continue to soar and compete with the Eagles. Finally, God’s richest blessings always.
.
As the saying goes “The Sky Is the Limit” Go Sista, You have made Jamaica Proud!!!!
You’re an inspiration to all young girls. We Jamaicans are very proud of you.
i’m very proud of this lady’s story, and it shows that what ever you tell yourself that you want to achieve in life you can get it. If you ask God to be in control and with hard work and perseverance you’ll get to the finish line. I hope a lot of us who are doubting ourselves will learn something from your story.
Jamaican, theres nothing we cant do..a proud and talented bunch

This is just fantastic!!
Jamaicans are full of vision. Our anthem comes alive all the time. Give us vision lest we perish, knowledge send us Heavenly Father, Grant true wisdom from above.
