This is the heartwarming moment a pilot introduced his flight attendant team which included a mum and her two daughters, one of whom was even on her first flight.

Passenger Nate, 42, was on a Southwest Airlines flight from Sacramento to Las Vegas on August 29 when the captain made an announcement to everyone on board.

After introducing one of the attendants as 27-year veteran Angel, the pilot then announced her daughter Jessica, who was on her first flight with the airline.

Following the introduction of her other daughter – who was only on her second flight – their dad and Angel’s husband Greg, a retired Southwest pilot, was also announced on the same plane and he came up to the front for a family hug.

Nate said: “Everyone onboard cheered and was visibly happy to be a part of a special day for this aviation family.

“I am also a pilot and a father which is why I was especially interested in the Captain's announcement.

"I thought it was inspirational. Having your family all on board the same flight as a veteran pilot like the Captain’s mentor is very special.

"As a pilot myself, I thought it was also special to see first-hand what can be accomplished by having a mentor in both aviation and in life."

A spokesperson from Southwest Airlines said: "Our people are the heart of Southwest and we're passionate about treating everyone like they're part of the Southwest family.

"We love seeing this family together onboard celebrating such a special moment, and applaud our former Southwest pilot and his wife, a current flight attendant, for inspiring their daughters to join the Southwest family."
