Hawaiian Airlines operated their very first flight with a mother and daughter pilot earlier this week.

According to Hawaiian Airlines, the daughter was hired as a Boeing 717 first officer earlier this year and the mother, a Boeing 717 captain, was the first Tongan woman to captain a commercial airline. First Officer Maria Zarka says it was a dream come true. She says she has been so lucky on her aviation career so far but being able to fly right seat with her mum was an unbelievable lifetime experience. Maria says everybody always comes up to her and tells her how amazing her mum is to fly with and she got to experience that firsthand. The mother and daughter pilot duo is encouraging other young girls to follow their dreams.   Source: Fijivillage
