A Southwest Airlines pilot’s reported birthday wish to the mother of an air traffic controller onboard a flight to MacArthur airport Friday afternoon, rattled some passengers who thought the pilot said “bomb” instead of “mom.”

The birthday wish occurred on flight 1155 from Baltimore to MacArthur Airport in Islip, which arrived around noon on Friday.

“The pilot made an announcement that was misunderstood,” a spokeswoman for Southwest Airlines said.

The spokeswoman said the air traffic controller working out of Terminal Radar Approach in Westbury, contacted the pilot and had asked him to “wish his mother a happy birthday.”
