Netizens Awed By Video Of Southwest Airlines First Officer Carrying Daughter Before Flight

• Ladies and gentlemen, this is your little Miss Captain speaking . . .
• Social media users were touched by the video of a first officer addressing passengers while holding his daughter
• The Southwest Airlines pilot revealed that the flight was special because it was the first time the little girl was on a flight with him on the controls
• He promised the passengers that the young girl was always giggly but explained that he would blame the mother if the baby threw tantrums

Southwest Airlines has shared a heartwarming video of one of the first officers at work with his little daughter.

In the video, the first officer used the intercom to inform the passengers that he would be in charge of the flight to Denver.

Special flight for pilot and daughter

He added that his daughter, little Miss Rosie, would accompany him on what he termed a special flight.

According to the captain, that was the first flight for the little girl with him on the controls.

"Great memories for me and her mother, who is here. Probably not for her; she won't remember this but you know, a lot more memories to come," he said.

The happy father praised the young girl, noting that she is giggly 90% of the time, save for the 10% when she has serious pipes.

He hoped the youngster would be in a good mood for the flight; otherwise, he would blame her mother.

The baby was believed to be returned to the mother, as airline protocols indicate that children are prohibited in the cockpit.
