This Mother’s Day, we honor the extraordinary women in our Union who not only break barriers in the skies and on the ground but do so alongside their flying family, passing on a legacy of strength, skill, and sisterhood in aviation.
Our industry and Union have long been places where determination and passion take flight. Among the ranks of our skilled professionals are mothers who have inspired their daughters and sons to follow in their footsteps—women who’ve turned work into a calling and family into a legacy. When mothers share these stories with their children, they’re not just talking about a job—they’re sharing pride, purpose, and the power of possibility.
The United MEC celebrates the mothers who paved the way so their families could soar even higher, making it possible to be a mother and a Flight Attendant. We also recognize the daughters who carry that torch, adding their own voices to a powerful narrative of inclusion and progress. Thank you to all our Union sisters for building a future where aviation careers are not just accessible, but welcoming to the next generation of women.
We also take a moment to honor all mothers—those with us today, those we hold in memory, and those who embody the spirit of motherhood through mentorship, care, and guidance. Whether through birth, adoption, chosen family, or nurturing leadership, the impact of a mother’s love and strength knows no bounds. Your influence continues to shape the skies and the hearts of those around you.
To every mother: thank you! Your courage, dedication, and love of aviation inspire us all. Every day, especially on this upcoming Mother's Day, we salute you—not just for being exceptional in your profession, but for lifting each other along the way.
Happy Mother’s Day!
