Interestingly, the whole family consists of pilots as Suzy’s husband and son Mark are also both pilots.

According to the SkyWest Airline's blog, Suzy Said, "We absolutely love our jobs. You don't see that too much in other occupations. None of our kids were thinking about becoming pilots, but when you start looking at other careers that are out there, sitting in an office, and then see how happy we are - it opened their eyes.”

"I was exposed to the world, which was a big inspiration. Experiencing my mom and dad's lifestyle was wonderful. It exposed me to the possibilities the industry offered," said Donna.

Suzy also expressed that her first flight was over three decades ago.

"I love it! I really love it. It's neat having your kid experience what you've gotten to experience. She's part of the SkyWest family. I think it's going to be a great career for her. She likes having variety and excitement in her life," She added.
