Families working in the same field occasionally have the opportunity to work together. Such events are turning out to be rare feats. Such an incident is taking place in America. Working as pilots, the mother-daughter duo are amazing at flying together.
Both work for Southwest Airlines of America. The mother, Holly Pettit, holds the rank of captain. Daughter Keeley Pettit works as a First Class Officer. Both are flying from Denver, Colorado, USA to St. Louis.
The flight distance between the two cities is about 2 hours. With this, they have become the first mother-daughter team to pilot a plane in the United States. The photos and video of the two flying the plane have gone viral on social media. “This is an exciting day for us and for Southwest Airlines.
A very special day too. We are proud to be the first mother-daughter team to fly South Airlines. My dream has come true. I love this profession. It is a pleasure to have one of my children follow me and join this profession. It is a pleasure that our flight together has been recorded as a historic event,” says Holly.
Holly started her career as a flight attendant after completing her college studies. After getting married and having children, she continued to love aviation despite the difficulties. He has also participated in training courses to become a pilot.
Later he got his pilot’s license and became a pilot. The desire to fly a plane is born after seeing the mother. He started dreaming of becoming a pilot at the age of 14.
He got his pilot’s license in 2017 and started working as a trainer in an airline company. He was hired as a pilot in 2018. However, it is only now that mother-daughter duo are flying together.
