After 40 years and five months of flying with Air Canada, Captain Paul Albers piloted his last commercial flight Wednesday.

But this was no ordinary retirement flight.

"What made this particularly special, I was joined in the flight deck by my brother, First Officer Andre Albers," Captain Paul Albers said.

Similar to my step father's story. He did the last Air Transat flight of the L-1011 and his last flight before retirement with his brother (normally pilot but took the right seat for that flight)

Actually two of his brothers were/are pilots and now 2 of the next generation of that family are pilots.

Seems pilot is a job that spreads within families

It reminds me of Boeing, where there are many multigenerational employees in local families. Even in tough times when there are layoffs, those workers stay loyal to Boeing. I guess the same is true of coal miners and other employment in company towns.

An absolutely stellar Captain and Colleague. Wishing him the very best!
