Pilot makes heartwarming announcement for his flight attendant mother. Watch

“Finally, as you’ve boarded us today, you’ve met some of our most talented flight attendants here at United. They’re here for your comfort, but primarily your safety. One of these flight attendants in particular working with us today is not only an exceptional flight attendant, but also my exceptional mom.

“Today is the first time in two years at United we’re able to work together. She’s been one of my biggest supporters of life and career in becoming a pilot ever since my very first flight lesson.

“I’m especially honoured and excited to be able to fly her for the first time today and to be able to share this experience with all of you on our flight to Madrid. To my mom, I love you and to everyone on board, welcome aboard our family-friendly skies,” Doss said.

Doss’s announcement was met with loud cheers from the passengers. The pilot then raised his mother’s hand as the passengers applauded the duo. “When the person who used to pack your lunch becomes your coworker,” United Airlines captioned the video.
