I’m so sorry for your struggle and pain. Please know you are very much NOT alone, it’s not your fault and HE is the one who should be punished!!! His actions were unbecoming of someone in our profession and I’m certain in his union. Just a thought, but have you concidered going to your company or his Chief Pilot or even professional standards about his behavior? You might save another from the same experience. Wishing you strength, comfort, love and peace.
In solidarity,
Carris Dougherty

Thank you Kara for sharing your unfortunate experience! I hope that you REALLY DO KNOW that YOU are not at fault (except for being too trusting of others when this is supposed to be a loving world)! I am sure that you have touched many hearts (as you did mine) and your words will help to ease someone else’s worry or pain. Thank you again and I hope you have a truly blessed day 🙂

Kara, bravo to you for your courage to share your story. I am so sorry you had this experience. You are not alone, none of us are. I too, had a rattling experience with a pilot, which ultimately cost me more than words could possibly describe. Thank you for sharing, I know how difficult reliving the past can be, let alone talking openly about emotional trauma. Keep your head up and your wings spread, there is nothing more empowering than overcoming demons and douchebags.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are absolutely correct, no woman should ever have to say more than “no” or “stop”. I commend you for writing this article. Not only are you helping yourself pass a difficult moment in your life, you are helping others in knowing they aren’t alone in their thoughts and criticisms of themselves. This article has helped in more ways than you will ever know. Keep up the great work and faith in humanity.

I just wanna say thank you for sharing this. I had been there too. I can relate how you feel. But one thing I always tell myself is never ever change your kind, beautiful, bright personality because of these idiots. I want to tell you that you are not alone too!

Kara, I loved your article and was moved to comment. I am a pilot with one of the big three in the US and this is inexcusable. No means no. I am sorry this man took advantage of you and that you have to deal with the guilt and pain, you don’t deserve it. Keep on smiling, you are brave, beautiful and inspirational! B
