The challenge

Created by a group of students in the UK, the #DontRushChallenge was created to empower and encourage women to embrace their beauty with and without makeup – hence the passing of the make-up brush as a metaphorical baton.

The video features the song “Don’t Rush” by U.K. rap duo Young T and Bugsey, which has now been used in thousands of videos around the world.

Hawaiian Airlines female pilots got involved with this cool challenge, trading the make-up brush for a pilot’s hat, to celebrate HA’s team of incredible female pilots, currently at home and waiting for the call to be able to take to the skies once again.

According to Women in Aviation International, 42,694 women make up seven percent of today’s pilot force, an increase of 7,000 since 2000, when only three percent of pilots were women.

Hawaiian Airlines is at the forefront of women in aviation, with the first all-women crew flying in 1979, and the highest percentages of female pilots in the industry, making up nearly 10 percent of its pilot workforce.
