Flying isn't just a job for Kelsey Gilday—it's a family affair! ⁠ ⁠ In December 2022, she was accepted for a job with Frontier Airlines, joining her husband and two brothers-in-law as the fourth Gilday working at Frontier as a pilot. ⁠ ⁠ When Kelsey first became a flight attendant in 2017, she was immediately captivated by the world of aviation. ⁠ ⁠ "I fell in love with the science of how airplanes work and found myself up in the flight deck all the time asking questions," Kelsey said, "I had a bunch of pilots I worked with tell me I should pursue flight training. A couple of those pilots even became career-long mentors to me." ⁠ ⁠ Kelsey had worked as a flight attendant for six months when she and her future husband first met. It was at LaGuardia airport, where she was staying in the crew quarters for the night, and he was getting off an airport standby shift. After starting a random conversation in the hall, the two kept in touch and, a month later, went on their first date to Niagara Falls for the day. Kelsey's husband helped her find a flight school to enroll in, and the rest is history. ⁠ ⁠ "Aviation can be lonely when we're not in it together with good people, and everyone I have met at Frontier so far has made the sky feel a little more like home," says Kelsey. ⁠ ⁠ Welcome aboard the #FrontierFamily, Kelsey!
