An in-flight reunion

This is the heartwarming moment a pilot greeted a cabin crew family - with an air hostess, her two daughters and her retired captain husband all on the same flight. The Boeing 737 flight was ahead of schedule so the captain left the cockpit mid-air to use the tannoy and recount the uplifting situation to the passengers onboard.

He told how air hostess Angel had been working for the carrier for 27 years. She was then joined by her two daughters Keleko and Jessica on their first day at work - fulfilling their childhood dreams to become cabin crew. Incredibly, their father Gregg and Angel's husband of 22 years then joined the family for a true American group hug as passengers cheered on the Southwest Airlines flight in Dallas, Texas.
