This Delta flight was piloted by a mother and daughter flight crew. Pretty inspiring. <3

[i][c=#4C0073]Passengers on a Delta flight from Los Angeles International Airport last weekend were stunned to learn they were in the hands of a family piloting team — Capt. Wendy Rexon and her first-officer daughter, Kelly Rexon.[/c][/i]

Tells you something, if this girl has a hero, it’s her mom.

"Tells you something, if this girl has a hero, it’s her mom".

[c=#008099]That photo doesn't tell me that at all! Why would you so arrogantly assume that this girl's mother is her so-called, "hero"? Did the girl tell you that? Why would you therefore assume that to be the case?[/c]
@Longpatrol Hero ? - so I guess that word has no meaning anymore. I got up from bed this AM therefore I am a HERO YAY !!!🎖️

@swirlie aww please give it a rest - its just a nice assumption to make - and what's wrong with saying her mum's her hero?

[c=#7700B2]"Why are you setting our flight level to 330?"[/c]
[c=#BF0080]"Thats what Seattle Center told us to do."[/c]
[c=#7700B2]"They said 320"[/c]

[c=#008099]Please explain to the studio audience how you picked up the lingo when you've gone out of your way to deny any ability to even park a car?[/c]

@swirlie i don't hate the scenario - it's completely fine to trivialize and also see a fun side of something that you like - and that's pretty normal - i didn't realize you didn't have it in you to figure out cheeky humor but that's fine - to each their own really

seeing as how hell bent you are on getting one up on me - i'll let you have it - i'd hate to burst your bubble of feeling like you're superior to all and that you've utterly figured me out
SW-User
@swirlie it's actually a borrowed joke from somewhere else - honestly its pretty basics - there's nothing to really pick up on lingo - just because you're not a doctor doesnt' mean most people don't understand what "Stat" means (without delay in medical slang) cause you'd have watched it on House M.D. or similar
Many great female pilots out there. I remember, one, well before my time, Amilia Earhart, to name of one many great women aviation pioneers.

@soar2newhighs hehe well i get what you mean but i guess someone who's cleared to fly has passed the strictest of tests - driving on the other hand is not that all regulated - and i am pretty bad driver myself despite having cleared all driving tests 😅
Most vehicle accidents occur within 25 miles of where the driver/vehicle left from.@SW-User
SW-User
@soar2newhighs that's a pretty cool fact - but 25 miles is still a pretty big radius

Why would they be stunned? 🤔

@SW-User

"..father and son combo might also be rare".

[c=#008099]"Might" also be rare? Mighty white of you to reluctantly acknowledge your opposite gender operating in the same cockpit as a family of male pilots, you silly asshole! Grow up, for fuck sakes![/c]
SW-User
@swirlie that would be funny except i am actually Indian there's nothing really white about me - it's easy to be riled up and go on an accusation mode, i am just saying on what i think and that's okay isn't it? everyone can say something off their mind as long as it doesn't hurt others
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@SW-User Just block the nasty bitch hon... I already did. There is NO need for her to be talking to you like this 🤗
SW-User
@midnightsun hehe yeah - and to think i can't even park a car properly 😅
Tminus6453 · M
How old is the kid? i assume she has her pilots license🤔
SW-User
@Tminus6453 she flew her first solo flight on October 29, 2008 when she was 16 y.o., by that reckoning she'd be about 27 now :)
Tminus6453 · M
@SW-User Thats a cool story
SW-User
@Tminus6453 pretty much actually :)
NeoNeo · 41-45, M
Years of experience and so much energy. Indeed, there would be a very pleasant flight with the duo.
SW-User
@NeoNeo yeah :)
That's pretty amazing. I wonder if Capt Wendy allowed FO Kelly to park the plane..
SW-User
@Majorlatency haha i know my mum wouldn't have - i am terrible at it 🙈
wstcstrob · 46-50, M
Yep, pretty inspiring. I hope they get to fly many flights together.
SW-User
@wstcstrob me too :)
Wolf90 · M

@swirlie yeah but being p.c. is trying to be lame have some originality will you?
swirlie · 31-35, F
@SW-User

"yeah but being p.c. is trying to be lame have some originality will you?"

[c=#008099]Your whole fraudulent persona is lame. A commercial pilot pretending to be an East Indian prostitute... Give us a break, will you? [/c]
SW-User
@swirlie okay so Bihar isn't East India really it's actually North and i am by no means a commercial pilot - not when i can't even park a car right ^^
It would have been better if they were nude....

What do you mean by "inspiring"?

Are you suggesting that we should aspire to work with our parents? ..or to perhaps follow in our parent's footsteps through life, to do the same job they did or follow the same path they did?

What message were you intending to impart with this photograph?[/c]
SW-User
@swirlie until you find me another example of a mum and daughter copiloting a commercial plane full of passengers - you'll have excuse me to admit this is a rarity

"until you find me another example of a mum and daughter copiloting a commercial plane full of passengers - you'll have excuse me to admit this is a rarity"

[c=#008099]You are a bullshit artist. You are grandstanding your own cause. Now fuck off.[/c]

@swirlie this is my post, i am here to stay - all that is left is for you to learn to be better
