Las Vegas-based flight attendant flies alongside granddaughter as fellow flight attendant

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - A veteran Las Vegas-based flight attendant had a trip to remember when she got to fly alongside a rookie flight attendant who just so happened to be her granddaughter.

According to Southwest Airlines, Cynthia Heck has been a Las Vegas-based flight attendant for 19 years.

The company said this year, Heck had the opportunity to welcome her granddaughter, Hannah Heck, as a flight attendant with the airline.

Hannah said that her “grandmother’s compassion for serving others is what inspired her to become a flight attendant along with the memories of flying with her growing up,” according to Southwest Airlines.
