For First Officer Nicholas (Nic) Ramirez, flying was always more than a dream — it was a family legacy. Inspired by his father, Capt. Esty Ramirez, a former Air Force pilot, Nic’s passion for aviation took flight early. Esty became one of Nic’s flight instructors, guiding him from student to First Officer at American Airlines, where they now fly together — father as Captain and Crew Chief, son as First Officer. This year marks a milestone: Esty celebrates 25 years with American, while Nic begins his first. With countless journeys ahead, their shared dream continues to soar.
