Kicker: Family Friendly Skies

COLE DOSS: Weather in Madrid upon arrival.

PAUL BUTLER, HOST: On a recent United Airlines flight to Madrid, pilot Cole Doss welcomed passengers aboard and praised his flight crew. Audio here from Doss’s Instagram account:

DOSS: One of these flight attendants in particular working with us today is not only an exceptional flight attendant, but also my exceptional mom. [CHEERS]

Doss thanked his mom—a 45-year veteran with United—for being his biggest supporter ever since his first flight lesson.

DOSS: I'm especially honored and excited to be able to fly her for the first time today and to be able to share this experience with all of you.

Brings a new twist to United’s classic slogan.

DOSS: I love you mom. And to everyone on board. Welcome aboard our family friendly skies.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Now that’ll melt a mama’s heart.

BUTLER: It’s The World and Everything in It.

SOUND: [JET FLYBY]
