Company First as Generations Oversee Flight from Memphis to Incheon
Teri Eidson and Nicole McCallister became the first mother-daughter duo to co-pilot an international flight, according to FedEx personnel. The pilots took FedEx flight 5434 from the carrier's main hub at Memphis International Airport to Incheon, South Korea. The 14-hour flight preceded Mother's Day by a few weeks, but offered a unique opportunity for a family moment seldom seen in the industry. In recounting their experience to journalist Channing Reid, they said the idea of being a 'first' in aviation history hadn't quite sunk in.
