'This is your captain speaking... my co-pilot's my little girl'

quote:

---

- Captain Peter Elliott has worked as pilot for Thomas Cook for over 30 years
- He inspired his daughter Laura to join and learn to fly herself in 2009
- She flew Airbus and her father Boeings so working together was unlikely
- Fluke in the roster meant father and daughter shared cockpit this month
- Mr Elliott made announcement to passengers that it was a special flight
- He told those travelling to Tenerife he was flying with his daughter
- Miss Elliott said she was initially nervous flying with her father and said it was like going for a driving lesson with him. However the flight went smoothly and both hope to repeat the experience.
