Biography/Timeline

1939

Emily Howell was born on October 30, 1939, and attended Holy Family High School in Colorado. Warner was interested in airplanes as a child. After graduating high school she looked into becoming a FLIGHT attendant.

1945

From 1945 to 1968, Clinton Aviation Company operated at Stapleton Airport and was the first company in the US to sell Cessna airplanes. It was founded by Lou Clinton and Grant Robertson. Warner initially flew for Clinton Aviation as a first officer on Convair 580s and de Havilland Twin Otters. She was later promoted to FLIGHT school manager and chief pilot. She became the first woman to be appointed a designated FAA Pilot Examiner.

1968

In 1968, she began applying for a position at Frontier Airlines as well as Continental Airlines and United Airlines. Lou Clinton wrote letters recommending her. She would renew her applications multiple times over a five-year period. In late 1972, a fellow FLIGHT instructor said he was hired by Frontier Airlines, strengthening Warner's resolve. At this point, Warner had been active in the aviation industry for more than twelve years. She had accrued more than 3,500 FLIGHT hours as a pilot and 7,000 hours as a FLIGHT instructor. Students she had trained were being hired with 1,500 to 2,000 hours of flying time. A friend who worked with Frontier introduced her to the vice President of FLIGHT operations there and Warner persisted in canvassing Frontier for a position.

On February 6, 1973, Howell Warner served for the first time as second officer on a Frontier Airlines Boeing 737. The FLIGHT departed from Denver's Stapleton Airport for Las Vegas. Within six months, she was promoted to first officer. In 1974, she became the first woman member of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA).

1976

Three years later she became the first woman to earn her captain's wings. In 1976, she became the first woman US airline captain, flying a Twin Otter.

1986

Howell Warner continued to fly with Frontier until they went out of Business in 1986. Warner stayed on when People Express purchased Frontier and then by Continental Airlines. After a short time flying for Continental Airlines, she left to become captain of a Boeing 737 for UPS Airlines. She also flew a DC-8 for United Parcel Service. In 1986, she commanded an all-female FLIGHT crew.

1990

In 1990, she left UPS Airlines to become a Federal Aviation Administration examiner. She was the FAA Aircrew Program Manager, assigned to United Airlines' Boeing 737 Fleet.

2018

At seventeen, she decided on a career in piloting after her first trip on an airplane. She was allowed to sit in the cockpit of a plane flying her home after a trip away from Denver. Warner said, “The pilot could see how excited I was and he encouraged me to take flying lessons. I replied: ‘Can girls do that?’” She started flying in 1958, after getting the approval of her parents for lessons. The lessons cost thirteen dollars per week at a time that she had a thirty-eight dollar per week paycheck. She sometimes worked fourteen hours a day, with a morning FLIGHT, a full-time office job, and an evening FLIGHT. She obtained her private pilot license and a job as a flying traffic reporter within a year.
