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

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]

@swirlie all i am saying is it's pretty rare to find a women pilot or a flight captain - having two where one is a mother and a daughters is actually pretty cool

[c=#008099]Obviously, you have never heard of the Female Airline Pilots Association. You should google their website and see just how un-rare it is to have female commercial pilots all over the world. There are literally thousands of them and many of them have children who also entered into the aviation industry. This photo is really nothing more than family grandstanding at it's best within an environment where their exact situation is not considered rare within the industry itself. [/c]

@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

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