Son pilots United Airlines flight with mom on board as a flight attendant
An unexpected in-flight announcement left passengers cheering on a recent United Airlines flight from the U.S. to Spain.
On the flight from Washington to Madrid, pilot Cole Doss announced that it was the first time in his two years at United that he was flying the plane where his mom was on board as a flight attendant.
"She's been one of my biggest supporters in life and career in becoming a pilot ever since my very first flight lesson," Doss told the passengers on board.
Cole's mom has been a flight attendant at United for more than 45 years. His dad also worked in aviation and his sister is the latest family member to become a flight attendant.
"I'm especially honored and excited to be able to fly her for the first time today," Doss continued. "To my mom, I love you. And to everyone on board, welcome aboard our family-friendly skies."
