Tammy tells her story of a life in aviation, from becoming a private pilot to being employee of multiple airlines, from ultra luxury to ultra-low cost.
--
Tammy O'Neill describes herself as an aviation enthusiast, world traveler and music appreciator.
She took her first flight with her father at age 11, and decided to join her many family members in aviation, purposely earning her private pilots license before her driver’s license.
After completing college, she moved to Los Angeles and applied to all the major airlines at LAX, in person at each airline’s ticket counter.
She received multiple offers with several major mainline carriers and accepted her first offer, from TWA. But, a few days later she received a letter from Braniff Airways offering flight attendant training with an earlier start date. So, she eagerly chose Braniff Airways and has since loved every moment of her aviation life, having flown "around the world with Braniff". Along the way, she was fortunate to have worked and flown Concorde many times.
From there, she played an instrumental part in the launch of Skybus Airlines, an ultra-low cost carrier based in Columbus, Ohio, and then went on to fly for Delta Air Lines, where she was able to create inflight training materials, curriculum and FAA training, and she was part of the effort to merge 3 regional carriers, Colgan, Mesaba and Pinnacle into Endeavor Air, a wholly owned subsidiary for Delta's mainline flying under one certificate.
During her active flying years she was based at DFW, MCI, MCO, TPA, CMH, MSP and ATL.
