I'm waiting for the reprimand from the bots at head office.

He should put it on his expense claim. It's something that the airline should be picking up.

Kudos to that pilot for making the flight diversion, just a little bit better of a situation.

We had a United 757 captain do this for us once in Grand Junction, CO a few years back. We were diverted from DEN due to weather, and then were stuck in Grand Junction due to crew time. We were stuck at the airport without access to food for hours, so the captain called Dominos and had dozens of pizzas delivered to the airport.

Flight delays are no fun, but they're definitely better when a pizza gets delivered.

This is the new Frontier Airlines. Maybe this will rub off on some of the big carriers.

Any airline that has pilots like that deserves my consideration next time I fly.

I was trying to figure out how they ended up in Cheyenne, and then I realized they were talking about Washington state.

The original article actually had direction of flight wrong. It claimed "Denver to Washington" but it was actually "Washington [DC] to Denver"
