I was in 6D and was happy to receive one of his personalized business cards too.
Quick question -- He said he would have channel 9 on and would try to play the eagles game too. I tuned into channel 9 in and out throughout the flight but it was only playing the the XM kids channel. I would find it hard to believe that he would mention it but never turn it on? I had 4 flights this weekend with UA and none had channel 9 on.
Nice. I just had my first Captain Denny flight too. The brutal lax-ord redeye was made much less so last night. I slept for much of the flight and when I woke up, the flight attendant handed me one of the famous hand written appreciation cards by Captain Denny. As a 1p, I never expected to get one, and I was beaming for the last twenty minutes of the flight.
