Isn’t it a wonderful thing when your partner in life also has the same job as yours? One of the best things in that scenario is that you get to be with your partner all the time. You also get to do the same thing with him/her. For Andrea Eldridge and her husband, they get to pilot airplanes.
My husband and I both fly for American Airlines. Passengers are sometimes shocked that a husband and wife are the captain and first officer of their flight. “Who’s in charge?” “Is that allowed?” “You’re not fighting today, are you?” Despite their professed alarm, no one has turned around and run back up the jetway to the terminal…yet.
So what’s it like to have your spouse as your co-pilot? Andrea shares her story over Air & Space Magazine.
