Fanny Chollet
Military pilot Fanny Chollet hopes to get new fighter jets. Now she comments on the criticism of her involvement in the voting.
- Professional military pilot Fanny Chollet should show voters why new fighter jets are needed
- The 29-year-old gave an interview for 20 minutes
- It faces criticism of being pushed forward only for PR purposes
Defense Minister Viola Amherd also relies on a young woman in the fight for the procurement of fighter jets: professional military pilot Fanny Chollet (29) is supposed to tell the voters in practice and show why the F / A-18 jets urgently need replacements.
Their commitment caused criticism even before the voting campaign opened this Friday. SP National Councilor Priska Seiler Graf said in 20 minutes: «The VBS presents the only female pilot as a figurehead for its fighter jet campaign. This is a PR stunt, since unfortunately she is anything but representative for her team of otherwise all male fighter jet pilots. »
Fanny Chollet explains in the video what she says about this criticism and what her future looks like in the cockpit.
