I was on a flight Saturday (Nov 16th) that the FA announced as the pilot's finale after a long & distinguished career, which generated a hearty round of applause upon landing. I wonder if this was "freshairborne"? The slightly embarrassing part is I took three flights that day -- PVG-SFO-DEN-AUS -- and they all blur, so I can't remember which included the announcement. I'm pretty sure it was PVG-SFO. Or a different retiring pilot entirely, which seems like an unlikely coincidence? Y/N?
