20 minutes – «I am proud to be a pilot in the vote»

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. So SP National Councilor Priska Seiler Graf agreed 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.
