Timeline

1952

Beverley Bass (born March 27, 1952) is an American aircraft pilot and was the first female captain of an American Airlines commercial plane.

1970

Bass was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida and graduated from high school in 1970.

1971

Bass started flying the summer after her first year at Texas Christian University, in 1971.

She logged her hours at Fort Worth's Meacham Airport, spending six hours there each afternoon.

Bass's first professional experience came when a local mortician needed to fly a young woman's body to Arkansas.

Bass's career in commercial aviation began with difficulty, Bass said: "I was told there couldn't be a female pilot flying executives around because what would the wives think".

1974

She studied Spanish and Interior Design at Texas Christian University, receiving bachelor's degrees in both subjects in May 1974.

Bass cites her aunt, who would park her Volkswagen Beetle by the local airport's chain-link fence so Bass could watch planes takeoff and land, as her inspiration to start flying.

Bass's father, fearing losing her interest in the family's quarter horses, refused flying lessons.

1976

She was hired in 1976 by American Airlines as their third female pilot.

1986

In 1986, Bass became the first female captain of a commercial plane at American Airlines and later that year she captained the first all-female crew in the history of commercial jet aviation, on an American Airlines flight from Washington D.C. to Dallas, Texas.

She and pilot Stephanie Wallach founded the International Society of Women Airline Pilots, which began as a group of women aviators but later changed into a program providing career support and mentorship to aspiring pilots.

2001

Bass was piloting a Boeing 777 en route from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport when the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, occurred.

Due to the closure of American airspace, Bass's flight was ordered to land at Gander International Airport in Gander, Newfoundland, as part of the Canadian government's Operation Yellow Ribbon.

Her experience in Gander during the days following the attacks was one of several people's stories featured in the Tony Award–winning Canadian musical Come from Away.

While the Beverley Bass character in the musical is partly a composite character combining experiences of other pilots in Gander at the time, the number "Me and the Sky" is entirely drawn from the real Bass's life story.

Bass has developed a close friendship with Jenn Colella, the actress who portrays her in the Broadway company of Come from Away, and frequently travels to see the show.

At the show's closing night in Seattle, Bass presented Colella with the flight jacket, wings, and service pin she was wearing on September 11, to be worn on Broadway.

2019

In 2019 she was made Brian Kelly's TPG Awards honoree, and it was announced that his company had donated $50,000 to the International Society of Women Airline Pilots in Bass's honor.

She was the recipient of the distinguished alumni award from Texas Christian University

Bass is married to Tom Stawicki and has two children.
