At the end of the flight, there were still many people taking pictures insdie the plane, and many pax also take pictures with Captain Russo. It took almost 30 min for the captain finally leaving the plane. There were more than 50 UA employees already gathered around the gate area, clapping hands, celebrating the retirement of Captain Russo and UA's final 737-300. hence those two cakes just to make for them.
