From sharing a classroom to renting an apartment, they have been together through the requisite 200 hours of flying each needed to log for their commercial pilot license (CPL).<br \/>Today, 18-year-old Bavicca Bharathi and her 39-year-old mother Judith are proud CPL holders\u00e2\u20ac\u201done trying to establish her official status as India&#8217;s youngest commercial pilot, while the other is probably among the oldest women to have sought a pilot license.<br \/>While Bavicca aspired to be a pilot from her college days, it was a matter of chance for Judith. In fact, it was her husband Pon Joseph&#8217;s idea that his super-active wife learn the craft as well. After all, Judith was a gold medallist in mathematics, but she gave up pursuing her masters after marriage.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Initially, I wanted to go to Canada for the training. But dad didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want me to be alone and finally it was decided that mom would accompany me. However, she couldn&#8217;t sit idle for the six-seven months it would take me to get the license. So, she decided to give it a go too,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Bavicca.<br \/>That&#8217;s when they zeroed in on Indore-based Yash Air for their pilot training.<br \/>Securing jobs in the same airline is next on the agenda. But that&#8217;s proving to be a little difficult, given the age limitations of various airlines. For some, Bavicca is too young, for others, Judith is too old.<br \/>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our dream is to pilot a commercial flight together one day\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwith one of us in command and the other as co-pilot,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Judith.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">03\/07\/07 Mumbai Newsline<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai: This mother-daughter duo has burnt the midnight oil, trying to understand the finer details of aviation meteorology and air<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
