One right, via Kilo, to follow the Dash 8, United 108.
Pops?
Hello.
Somebody was responding to a ground instruction from the air traffic controller,
and I recognized that voice and I told my first officer,
I'm like, hey, I think I know who that is.
That's your daughter?
Apparently.
Yeah, commuter 4977.
Took me a minute to connect the dots,
but at that point I realized that he was there flying as well.
Your daughter's a pilot. Aren't you proud, Papa?
Sort of.
She still living in your house?
Oh no, but she is on my cell phone plan.
He had taught me how to fly, and now we are both professional pilots
doing the same type of job,
and we just happen to be in the same area at the same time.
She's not allowed off her cell phone plan until she gets married.
Thanks.
I was on my mama's cell phone plan until I got married.
Thanks.
I am single.
He's always been a mentor for me,
and so being able to have the same career as him now,
it feels really powerful.
Is it just me, or would you listen to a podcast of all those pilots,
and especially those two?
Kent took Kenny on her first flight back in 2016,
and this is the first time she's ever heard her dad's voice on the intercom.
