JELENA DIMKIĆ, KOPILOTKINJA / JELENA DIMKIĆ, FIRST OFFICER GOVORI / SPEAKING… Kada biste u ovom trenutku mogli da izaberete bilo koju destinaciju iz mreže Er Srbije za julsko putovanje, koja bi to bila? – Jul svakog podseća na more i pla- vetnilo, na poglede sa nekog lepog bal- kona na bele krovove i tirkizne plaže, tako da bi moj izbor svakako bio Santorini. Pri- laz aerodromu na Santoriniju je nešto što se pamti za ceo život, kada se iz Egejskog mora izdigne dramatična panorama vul- kanskog kratera, a vetar koji redovno duva na Egeju garantuje idealnu letnju tempe- raturu, bez teških vrućina. Avijacija se tradicionalno vezuje za muškarce, ali je danas sve više žena koje donose neku posebnu energiju. Šta je ono što vas najviše pokreće u ovom poslu? – U ovom poslu me pokreće ljubav i osećaj zajedništva koje imamo na našoj flo- ti. Tačno je da sve više žena bira ovu profe- siju. To smatram velikim korakom napred, jer mi žene često dolazimo do rezulta- ta drugačijim putem, unosimo nove per- spektive i, svakako, više discipline. Ali tu je i ono što nam je svima zajedničko, a to je lju- bav prema dinamici u kojoj nema mesta za grešku i kontrola nad moćnom mašinom. Kao pilot, imate najlepši kancelarijski prozor na svetu. Koji prizor ili ruta tokom letnjih meseci vam uvek iznova oduzme dah kada pogledate kroz prozor kokpita? – Kada letimo ka Španiji i Portugaliji, što su meni lično omiljeni letovi, često leti- mo preko severnog Jadrana dok se u dalji- ni izdiže reljef najvećeg planinskog masiva Evrope, a zatim se spuštamo ka Medite- ranu, gde se po lepom danu Azurna oba- la vidi kao na dlanu. A južna ruta jednako ostavlja bez daha, jedno po jedno nižu se ostrva, a vi ih prepoznajete kao stare prija- telje: „Eno ga Brač, eno je Sardinija, a ono tamo je Korzika...“.
If you could choose any destination in the Air Serbia network for a trip during July, which would you opt for? “July reminds us all of the seaside and endless blue, of views of white roofs and turquoise beaches from some beautiful bal- cony, which is why my choice would defi- nitely be Santorini. The approach to the ai- rport runway in Santorini is something that you remember for life, with the dramatic pa- norama of a volcanic caldera rising from the Aegean, while the wind that blows regular- ly from the sea guarantees ideal summer temperatures, without oppressive heat.” Aviation is an industry traditionally associated with men, but today there are ever-more women bringing special energy to the sector. What motivates you the most in this job? “I’m driven in this job by the love and sense of togetherness that we have in our fleet. You are correct that women are in- creasingly choosing this profession, which
I consider as being a big step forward, be- cause we women often achieve results via a different path and bring new perspectives, and certainly more discipline. But there is al- so that which we all have in common, and that’s a love for the dynamism in which the- re’s no room for error and control over a mi- ghty machine.” As a pilot, you enjoy the most beautiful workplace window in the world. Which summertime sight or route always takes your breath away when viewed from the cockpit window? “When we fly to Spain and Portugal, which are my personal favourite flights, we often fly over the northern Adriatic, with the terrain of Europe’s largest mountain massif rising in the distance, after which we des- cend towards the Mediterranean, where the Cote d'Azur can be seen as if in the palm of your hand on a clear day. The southern rou- te is equally breathtaking, with islands that you recognise as old friends appearing one by one: ‘Look, there’s Brac, there’s Sardinia, and that one over there is Corsica...’”.
