Brian Morgan, became a pilot in 2016 and was later promoted to captain after completing his command upgrade, stated that his daughter drew inspiration from his own journey.

Morgan said “It was a fantastic experience to operate a flight with my daughter, Becky. We finally had the chance to fly together on a full flight from London Stansted to Tenerife, which not only provided a wonderful day for our passengers but also marked a significant occasion for us”. He added, “I’ve always encouraged Becky to pursue her career passions. Naturally, when I began my flight training, Becky also developed an interest. So, when she expressed her desire to build a career in aviation as a pilot, I was overjoyed”.
