August 8, 201510 yr I think some of the passengers probably did a spit take when they heard that announcement - but I think that's a great, great story!
August 8, 201510 yr Author Cool, this also just recently happened on a U.S. carrier. Nice! Keep it in the family. "Father and daughter co-pilot American Airlines flight together for first time"
August 8, 201510 yr Moderator Oh man, I hope her dad isnt like mine... "Shut up, dad, I know how to do this, I do this every freaking day!" Oh the irony that the daughter actually has more actual flying time in the Airbus than her father! Fr.

August 9, 201510 yr Author Anyone know of husband and wife team in the flight deck? . . . And who the pilot in command is? Or how about being on a long-haul flight - with a husband and wife team at the controls.- and a bitter divorce battle in progress.
