The pair made their first Southwest flight together on July 23 when they flew from Denver, where the two are from, to St. Louis, according to aHolly started as a flight attendant with another airline but went on to train and receive certifications for her pilot license.“At 14, Keely and her siblings received the gift of a discovery flight,” the press release states. “In that moment, she realized she wanted to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a pilot.
“It’s been a dream come true,” said Holly, “first, I found this career and fell in love with it, and then that one of my kids fell into this and in love with this career too. It’s surreal.” “Not only are Holly and Keely making Southwest history, but also they’re breaking barriers and empowering women of all ages to pursue their dreams in aviation, and pun intended, reach for the skies,” Southwest officials said.Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
