A family from Delhi has been devoted to the same occupation for over 100 years now. Captain Jai Dev Bhasin, pioneer of the family, went on to become one of the 7 commanders in India in 1954. Now, his son, Captain Rohit Bhasin, daughter-in-law Niveditha Jain, have been carrying on the tradition of flying in the family. What is more interesting, is that their children- Rohan and Niharika- are also in the same occupation.
Niveditha went on to become the youngest woman captain in the world to be the commander of Boeing 737, at the age of 26. She also became the commander of Airbus 300 and co-piloted the world's first ever all women crew. Daughter Niharika recently took command on Airbus A320.
With a set of parents as devoted as theirs, the children were bound to pursue flying. Both, Rohan and his father have had the chance to fly in Boeing 787 Dreamliner over 10 times now. Rohan successfully commands the Boeing 777. While they only get to spend time with each other about 5-6 days a month, the family is more content with life above the ground.
