A Southwest Airlines flight crew gave a special shoutout to a cancer survivor on a recent flight to Hawaii. "I would like to add a special welcome to a special guest in today's flight. We have a passenger who's headed to Hawaii with us today to celebrate her victory over late-stage breast cancer," the pilot said over the intercom. Jyrl Oldham was flying to Hawaii with her husband and two other couples to celebrate. Valeri Jones, a friend, posted a video of the crew’s gesture. “Here in today's environment, it just makes it special that we can share in the human bond to take care of each other. Everybody's a big family out there. Welcome aboard," the pilot said.
