Probably not - Denny lives on a farm in Ohio, according to the article.

I've been impressed with my UA pilot experiences - on an SFO-ORD redeye, the pilot walked up and down the aisles of the F cabin asking if there was anything he could do to make our flight better before pushback. I was impressed because he genuinely seemed to care. This was a 777, so no Denny I guess.

On a SEA-SFO flight I had the pleasure of sitting next to and speaking with a cool SEA-based 757/767 pilot. He was studying charts for a redeye flight to HNL later that night - didn't want to bug him too much lest he miss something important on the chart...

Guess I need to fly more to score one of the 757/767 cards...
