        proud legacy of promoting gender equity in all professions;
Whereas, 50 years ago, Emily Warner shattered the glass ceiling of the airline 
        flight deck in the United States when she was hired by Frontier Airlines 
        to be the first female airline pilot, opening the sky for other female 
        airline pilots;
Whereas, in 1974, Emily Warner became the first female member of the Air Line 
        Pilots Association, International;
Whereas, in 1976, Emily Warner became first female airline captain in the United 
        States;
Whereas Emily Warner was a founding member of--

    (1) the Colorado Pilots Association;

    (2) the International Society of Women Airline Pilots; and

    (3) the Friends of the Granby/Grand County Airport;

Whereas the Frontier Airlines uniform worn by Emily Warner hangs in the 
        Smithsonian Air and Space Museum;
Whereas, in 1994, Emily Warner was honored by Colorado Legislature Resolution 
        94-29, entitled ``Honoring Captain Emily Warner of the Achievements in 
        Aviation History'';
Whereas Emily Warner has been inducted into the Women in Aviation International 
        Pioneer Hall of Fame, the National Women's Hall of Fame, the National 
        Aviation Hall of Fame, the Irish-American Hall of Fame, the Colorado 
        Women's Hall of Fame, and the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame;
Whereas, in 2015, the Granby/Grand County Airport was renamed Emily Warner Field 
        to honor the many contributions of Emily Warner to aviation; and
Whereas more than 16 percent of airline pilots in the United States are women: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports a ``National 
Emily Warner and Women Airline Pilots Day''.
