Flygirl, a Female Pilot Exposé by Dear Discreet Guide
"5 San Diego Authors to Read in 2019"
Author Robin Kardon was a commercial pilot for 12 years, and her experience breaking into a male-dominated industry in the 1990s inspired her to write Flygirl. The novel examines the discriminatory environment and other challenges faced by female pilots. Long before #MeToo, Kardon was shattering glass ceilings and standing up against hostile work environments.
"Book Launch Party for San Diego Author's Cockpit Confessional Flygirl" San Diego Metro, November 2018
"Before San Diego author and attorney Robin Kardon came up with the idea for “Flygirl,” her debut novel about a female pilot breaking the blue ceiling, she lived it. Her cockpit confessional has been hailed as “an astounding peek behind the scenes of pilot life.”

"The inaugural year of the new millennium was the year I celebrated my 41st birthday and became an airline captain.
