First ever Mother-Daughter Pilot duo making history Flying plane together

A mom and her daughter have made history as the first-ever mother-daughter duo to pilot a commercial passenger plane together.

Suzy Garrett and her daughter Donna Garrett, who both work for SkyWest Airlines, soared into the history books a few days ago when they first flew a plane together. This isn’t the first time Suzy, 56, has made the headlines – she was also one of the first women hired by SkyWest Airlines and has been flying planes for more than 30 years.

Speaking before her and her daughter’s historic flight, Garrett told the SkyWest Airlines blog: ‘We absolutely love our jobs. You don’t see that too much in other occupations.
