When you board a flight and see a little baby, it might make you a bit concerned. Babies aren’t always the best travelers, and if they don’t like life in the air, you could be in for a very long flight. A Southwest Airlines pilot named Sean recently made a very special introduction during a flight to Las Vegas while holding a baby. The baby boy, Noah, was only 7 months old, and that was his 29th flight. But that wasn’t the best part; the flight to Vegas would be Noah’s first with his pilot dad, Sean, flying the plane.

Southwest Airlines Shared Sweet Video of the Pilot Introducing Himself as Noah’s Dad
“The cool part, at least for me, is that it’s the first time he’s been on the plane while his dad is the pilot,” Sean shared. “We had a pep talk earlier. We said, ‘Hey buddy, there’s a lot of people paying a lot of money to go to Vegas; you gotta be on your best behavior.’ And he promised he would do his best.”
Passengers giggled as the pilot dad finished his introduction.
“This is the love airline. This is the family airline. And this is the fun airline,” Sean said. “That’s what we’re doing today on the way to Vegas.”
Sean then introduced his wife, Hannah, who is also a pilot for Southwest. The video went viral, and people fell in love with the sweet pilot dad and his family.
“Wow, both parents are pilots. That baby has already been on more flights than I ever did in my entire life!” Someone commented.
Others couldn’t help but joke.
Like this person who wrote, “But does Mom and Dad threaten to turn the plane around if he misbehaves?”
And this one, who laughed, “So when the plane is landing and that baby starts crying, take it up with the pilot.”
We think this person might be on to something.
“Methinks, Noah will be piloting a few flights into Vegas in about 25-27 years or so.”
