webfact Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 This pilot was once known as Miss Thailand BY SHEELA CHANDRAN Thai AirAsia’s Captain Chananporn Rosja is living her dream of being a pilot. Photo: The Star/Azhar Mahfof BANGKOK: -- There are 10 women captains flying AirAsia’s fleet in Thailand, and Captain Chananporn Rosja must be the most famous of them all. She is also the fairest; after all she has the Miss Thailand/Universe 2005 crown to rule them all. Her story is well known not only in Thailand but also in the region for she has been written about quite a bit. The buzz around Chananporn has quietened quite a bit and most people would probably not recognise the beauty queen pilot in her uniform.

I agree and have to admire her for following her ideal as being a pilot which must be very stressful at times. Instead that is of going on to modelling and other entertainment roles like acting in a Thai soap that really does not require much of anything.

bra Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Congratulations to her - its a hard but satisfying effort to become an airline captain. There are now many all female crews on the flight deck, which is then known as the box office not the cockpit (told to me by a female captain).

I'm sure you are joking, hence the emoticon, so....... Is it too much to expect that she is actually an airline pilot and can fly an aircraft? Probably the same way these ladies fly jets for the RTAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a substantial bag of money - as all of these 'actresses' have to undergo multiple plastic surgery in order to qualify. Some of them don't even look like people anymore - and can often be seen in the high-end shopping malls in central BKK. Check out the 'before and after' pics of these ladies and you will be amazed.
