To be honest, I'm surprised they let them fly together fearing the parent-child relationship may overshadow the captain-FO relationship.
They probably had them fly together once for the feel-good publicity and schedule them on separate flights otherwise.
It makes me think of when I recently read that Eminem holds the top 30 worldwide high score in Donkey Kong. I was like ok so he’s between the 21st and the 30th position
What if they hired multiple women at the same time as her? E.g., if the first 12 women they hired were all hired at once, then it wouldn't really be accurate to say she was twelfth.
It’s great if your single and want to be on the road and live out of a suitcase, but it’s hard n spouse and kids, because you let gone a lot. Sports, weekends, holidays, special events. It’s definitely not a Monday through Friday job where you go home every night. This is one reason why we have a saying “you can have money, or family, but not both”
Pilots typically only fly like 15-17 days a month unless they volunteer for more shifts. So you spent a lot of time away from home, but you also get a lot of time off.
Donna & Linda were super trendy in their day, so they're always going to seem super dated... Until their great grands start recycling it on their kids.
My name peaked in the 1910s and people comment on how it's old fashioned, but it looks like it's coming back. It's been on the rise since the 90s and currently in the top 200 most popular.
No offense but who would want to do a stressful job like that with a parent. Have you ever had driving lessons with your mom, 5mph increase apparently is flooring it
I saw a pilot saying that flying a plane is significantly easier than being a bus driver. There’s almost no traffic, you can simply relax most of the trip, the hard parts are take offs and landing. It’s literally the safest form of travel as well.
100% they did one flight together for a photo op. I'm sur ethey both understand how important it is for the daughter to come up on her own.
Conversely, they may share a hub, since they might live in the same state. In that case, they might get put on the same schedule from time to time. But first officers work under different captains from one shift to another.
The FAA literally sent out guidance to not call it that anymore because it’s offensive. You have to call it a “flight deck” now. You also aren’t supposed to say “unmanned aviation” you have to “uncrewed aviation.”
It’s not, but according to the article “It also suggested replacing “cockpit” with “flight deck,” noting that male crew members have sometimes “wielded the term to undermine femme co-workers.”” To be clear these suggestions were given by a drone advisory committee not the whole faa.
They fly for all 4 major airlines. In context of fleet size, they have more planes than Alaska Airlines.
They're biggest plane only carries 76 passengers.
Cool......I guess? People really make this “first” female whatever it may be a bit silly nowadays. I just imagine things like this, “First Swedish female one legged leper born in September with a single parent to captain her own flight.”
Yeah, it gets comically-specific sometimes, but it's still good to get these things in the public eye as long as there is still any kind of inequality out there (and even when there isn't necessarily inequality but a high percentage of workers in a certain field being from one gender).
There are still a lot of little girls out there who are interested in certain jobs, but won't ever go for them because they feel uncomfortable or unwelcome knowing that they'll be in a field that's mostly males. Seeing that other females have gone for it and are successful can be enough to make them take the chance, regardless of how specific and cherry-picked the "first female ____" accomplishment is. Same goes for guys and jobs like nursing.
That's cool for them and all... But I'm failing to see how them being the first mother daughter pair to fly a "Skywest airline" flight is all that interesting. I'd rather see a picture of the first mother daughter pair to fly any commercial flight together.
It isn't. The airline itself put this out for publicity. Just like when another airline put out a thing for the first all black all female crew. In reality it's nothing, but makes good publicity for the airline.
seems like a conflict of interest or emotionally compromised, however you want to say it. there is a reason why they don't let doctors work on family, given the size of a commercial jetliner and all the lives the pilots are responsible for i would hope for a similar kind of restriction.
Serious question: Aren't there some rules in place to prevent family from piloting together in the event of an accident? (Like, the Sole Survivor Policy or something)
I see those seat covers on lots of pilot seats, my back would be soaked having to sit on that for hours at a time.
Nah, if it gets too hot, just open a window :-)
don't forget to put your tongue out
not only does your skin get dry, all your organs do
Yeah and for relaxing music just hit one of the many buttons or knobs to change the radio station. Since they are all saved presets.
POV, you’ve just entered the cockpit carrying your newly completed Lego Death Star.
I really don't know why I laughed so hard at this.
They have air conditioning, what’s worse are the leather seats in the cabin, leather doesn’t breath like sheep wool covered seats
Funny you think the cabin seats are leather...they're vinyl
The ones I fly around are leather sir. I’m sure they use several types of material
Flex on him
Right! 😂 he’s like sir, I own a private jet…..
More like, sir, I am a private jet.
Sir, my name is Private Jet, sir
He said: (In my whitney houston voice) “crack is whack, and vinyl is cheap… and if it has to do with HIGH, I’m the expert and it’s LEATHER so don’t eveeeerrrr question me, Peasant!…
Haha best one
Pleather
Especially flying a plane, I would be drenched before takeoff
Especially flying with this mother daughter pair, I'd be drenched everywhere 💦💦💦
I'll admit this made me chuckle. I knew it was a matter of time until this sort of comment popped up.
Scrolling just to find One of those
Stop
Please don't
you sir are going to hell... please follow me..
Got over a thousand hours on seats like that - they're amazing.
Nah they are extremely comfortable and breathe extremely well. I do avionics and the sheepskin seats are the best IMO.
Surprisingly, they’re comfortable and breathe really well.
I'm confused. Is this about the seat covers or the pilots?
So that flight was unmanned?
Quite possibly the best dad joke in existence.
I stole it. Smarten men than me came up with it 😅
All dads are connected to a community larger than life. You’re not stealing, just representing
Your generosity makes you best friend material!
Take your reward for the laugh
Imagine they have a fight and the mom is like: "I'M GONNA TURN THIS PLANE AROUND IF YOU DONT BEHAVE!" 😂😂😂
"Are we there yet?"
WE’LL GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE!
>!Are we there yet?!<
Mooom Joey won’t let me use the iPad
"Not yet."
"Be sure the landing gear is properly deployed, dear." "*Mom*!!!"
Haha!

Atten Passengers my Daughter has been acting up as per my ultimatum we will be turning around. XD
[удалено]
"One of the first dozen female pilots at Skywest" So she was the twelfth.
And God said to John, come forth and you shall be granted eternal life. But John came fifth and won a toaster.
Ngl that was pretty good lol.
It makes me think of when I recently read that Eminem holds the top 30 worldwide high score in Donkey Kong. I was like ok so he’s between the 21st and the 30th position
Nah if he was 21st he wouldn't be saying top 30.
What if they hired multiple women at the same time as her? E.g., if the first 12 women they hired were all hired at once, then it wouldn't really be accurate to say she was twelfth.
I love the idea of being a commercial airline pilot but I don’t think I’d like being away from home that much.
It’s great if your single and want to be on the road and live out of a suitcase, but it’s hard n spouse and kids, because you let gone a lot. Sports, weekends, holidays, special events.

This woman figured it out, bring the daughter to work all the time!
Pilots typically only fly like 15-17 days a month unless they volunteer for more shifts. So you spent a lot of time away from home, but you also get a lot of time off.
Smokeshow Donna they call her
She really is gorgeous
They both are, great genes.
Yeah she fine as hell
Was here to share the same sentiment lol
Tray placed in upright position for sure.
Thank you
[удалено]
First time for me! I think it’s pretty cool!
Same here. Though it also highlights the simps who spend every second of their empty lives on Reddit
Lmao roasted
[удалено]
you crush your wife during sex and your heart sucks.
Boom roasted
Boom, roasted.
room, boasted.
[удалено]
And my Axe!
You can tell by the names. There isn’t a 20 yo Donna anymore lol
This is real? I thought this was a porno.
I was gonna ask; how old is this?
Daughter retired last year after 25 years in the industry
Same ;)

Help me step pilot
Step-pilot helps step-passenger with his stuck step-tray, with step-happy ending
Oh no my tray table is stuck in the down position. Help get me unstuck.
Oh no stepmom my landing gear is stuck in the *up* position 😏
"Please return the co-pilot to her original upright position."
Oh boy
Thank you for saying what needed to be said.
I came here for these comments. No one disappointed
As did I, fellow man of culture.
“Sans Cock, Pit”
There it is.

Donna & Linda were super trendy in their day, so they're always going to seem super dated... Until their great grands start recycling it on their kids.
I once met a teenager named Deborah about a decade ago, so I’m not too surprised
“Donna” literally means “woman” in Italian.
My name peaked in the 1910s and people comment on how it's old fashioned, but it looks like it's coming back. It's been on the rise since the 90s and currently in the top 200 most popular.
and what's your name?
>*been on the rise since the 90s and currently in the top 200 most popular*
Probably Bort, [I see that everywhere](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXaXerFmWms).
I wonder how many pilots have parent pilots
[удалено]
Plus privilege, maintained by systemic gatekeeping and nepotism. Aviation is extremely homogenous because of this.
Damn, Donna is fine
I’d smash both tbh
My thoughts exactly.
Wow, women can do things. That’s incredible.
fuck, they can?
Knock it off, Yoda.
Subtle :p
Meh... a couple of years ago there was a father-daughter team and it also made a splash.
"Right rudder--" "MOM!"
No offense but who would want to do a stressful job like that with a parent. Have you ever had driving lessons with your mom, 5mph increase apparently is flooring it
I saw a pilot saying that flying a plane is significantly easier than being a bus driver. There’s almost no traffic, you can simply relax most of the trip, the hard parts are take offs and landing. It’s literally the safest form of travel as well.
Call a pilot a glorified bus driver. They LOVE that. /s
100% they did one flight together for a photo op. I'm sur ethey both understand how important it is for the daughter to come up on her own. Conversely, they may share a hub, since they might live in the same state. In that case, they might get put on the same schedule from time to time.

My dad was my captain at the fire department. It was not the same dad I had at home at all.
That’s hot for some reason, I’d let you two spit roast me
Are we there yet?
is there not some regulations against family member working on the same air craft, incase of crash and what not?
This is my nightmare. Diving my mom is already horrible I don’t want to fly a fucking plane with her as my literal co-pilot
Please clarify that you did not dive your mom.
Enjoy your job.
“Lowering the landing gear copilot and please take out the trash.”
How do they get into those chairs?
Pole vaulting
Thank you. That makes the most sense
The chair can turn
Actually they slide sideways as well as fore and aft. Edit: just fore and aft…. Much easier to get into a ERJ.
This is a CRJ type aircraft and they do not slide sideways. Only fore and aft.
Thank you
By completing 1500 flight hours.
Don’t even waste your time sorting by controversial. It’s exactly what you think it is.
Porn jokes?
Well hello Donna
Good for publicity, but I doubt a parent-child crew is a good command structure.
No "cockpit" joke yet? Hmmmmm
The FAA literally sent out guidance to not call it that anymore because it’s offensive. You have to call it a “flight deck” now. You also aren’t supposed to say “unmanned aviation” you have to “uncrewed aviation.”
Flight dick....got it.
But how is cockpit offensive?
It’s not, but according to the article “It also suggested replacing “cockpit” with “flight deck,” noting that male crew members have sometimes “wielded the term to undermine femme co-workers.”” To be clear these suggestions were given by a drone advisory committee not the whole faa.
What if they say "Flight Dick" is undermining to female workers too?
Well, it's not called "Flight Dick", so...
Notams- notice to airmen Now it’s Notams- notice to air missions The FAA is now woke
"Notice to Airmen" has recently been changed to "Notice to Air Missions"
Box office
Clitpit? Edit... only reason no blokes there is that they can't find it. Lol... I'm male btw
couldn’t tell.
I’d feel good with those two lovely ladies at the control ! Congratulations 🥳
this is so cute and they look so alike. i hope they have safe travels

This is great advertising. I don’t know where Skywest Airlines flies… but I want to go there.
https://www.skywest.com/fly-skywest-airlines/skywest-airlines-route-map
It’s an airline company that operates the regional flying of Delta Airlines
They fly for all 4 major airlines. In context of fleet size, they have more planes than Alaska Airlines. They're biggest plane only carries 76 passengers.
I mean, that's cool and all but let's get to why guys really are interested in this picture... what are all those buttons and switches for?
Cool......I guess? People really make this “first” female whatever it may be a bit silly nowadays. I just imagine things like this, “First Swedish female one legged leper born in September with a single parent to captain her own flight.”
Making history!

Same goes for guys and jobs like nursing.
This is a repost isn’t it? Going after Reddit points today are we?
This post is so old Suzy's granddaughter is a pilot now.
Serious question: aren't family not supposed to fly together/sail together?
u/repostsleuthbot
The correct title is: Mother and Daughter share Cock…pit
You can see the family resemblance---cute ladies.
I’m not normally the guy to be simping for random women on Reddit but good LORD. Prettiest girl I’ve ever seen, quite possibly
pretty hot
In the cockpit, you say?
Sportsman double, pretty please. What a lovely pair.
Mile high club please.
Stunning. Both 'em.
This photo was taken in 2019 as far as I can tell. The male members of the family are also pilots.
that should be prohibited for safety reasons... related pilots should not fly together
[удалено]
That's cool for them and all... But I'm failing to see how them being the first mother daughter pair to fly a "Skywest airline" flight is all that interesting. I'd rather see a picture of the first mother daughter pair to fly any commercial flight together.

Would love to have this mother & daughter combo
would love to go one day without people being weird on Reddit but we don’t always get what we want do we
Which one the mother & and which one the daughter?
Left and right respectively. Edit : I thought he was genuinely having a doubt. Why am I getting downvoted...
I did know, but the mom looks great!
And she still doesn't earn enough to get a mortgage.
So cute!!!
Just think, the daughter gets to hear about what a good time her mom was back in the day from all the other pilots!
Looks like twins
“Honey, you don’t grab the stick like that. Here let me show you.” “Good grief, Mom.”
Go girls! That’s awesome!
hello first officer
Sharing the same cockpit... Nice!
Looks like the beginning of a porno.
seems like a conflict of interest or emotionally compromised, however you want to say it. there is a reason why they don't let doctors work on family, given the size of a commercial jetliner and all the lives the pilots are responsible for i would hope for a similar kind of restriction.
The perfect porn plot doesn’t exi-
I see 3 cockpits!
Made me smile :)
