Denver mother-daughter team land in aviation history on Southwest flight

A mother-daughter duo made aviation history on July 23 when they flew Southwest Flight 3658 from Denver to Saint Louis. Captain Holly Petitt and First Officer Keely Petitt are the first mother-daughter team to pilot a Southwest flight.

The Petitts are from Denver and Holly has been flying for Southwest for 18 years after starting her aviation career as a flight attendant but she quickly learned she wanted to fly the planes.

Southwest prides itself on really being a family so it’s no surprise that one of Holly’s three children found her way into the cockpit. 

Keely was a little girl when she took a trip with her mom to San Diego….
