A great accomplishment but, for the sake of the rest of the family, I think they should fly separately god forbid if something tragic occurred.
Excellent!
great!
They may be the first to FLY TOGETHER but they were not the first mother-daughter duo pilots for Southwest. The first was Cathy Jones (hired 1982) and Claudia Simpson-Jones! I also recall watching the two on a Good Morning America spotlight in the '90s - one that included Captain Claudia's new husband at the time, First Officer Fred Sorenson - as they were 'all in the family' pilots at SWA! Claudia retired in 2000.
They are pictured together here on a CO jet prior to being hired at SWA (Claudia flew for Continental and Cathy for Hughes Airwest I believe) - https://isa21.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Claudia-and-Cathy-Jones-1980.jpg

Imagining chat midflight:
Mom, "Do you have to flirt with that scruffy baggage handler?"
Daughter, "He makes me laugh"
Mom, "How he treats PAX luggage is enough to make anyone laugh."

It’s a great story regardless of the negative posts of the he-man woman haters club.
