I've had the chance to meet him a couple of times and fly with him twice. What a legend.

I have the same question, if I win. . They are close to getting a second seat on the flight if another $975 is raised before the 11th. For anyone interested I have a handy link in my signature. Every little bit counts, $20, $100, $200 and any number in between or above.

Now as to Captain Denny flying a P.S. flight, he drives both 57's and 67's and if it's a 57, it could be P.S or non-P.S.
My fiancee and I were in 8A&B upgraded back in March. Too bad we missed one another.

Had the good fortune to be flown by Capt Denny today from SFO to BOS on UA589. Our original flight deck crew was stuck in Seattle with a mechanical, and after being delayed an hour, Capt Denny took command as he was originally scheduled to fly to BOS later that day on a different flight.

He came aboard at the last moment; provided plenty of information about the flight and how he planned to make up lost time, including fuel consumption stat; and got us safely on our way. CH9 on for the entire trip (rare these days with contract negotiations underway), and he even took the time to write a personal handwritten note to each passenger in F thanking them for their business and loyalty, and encouraging feedback. The people sitting either side of me were completely amazed - its this kind of effort that sets him apart.

Thanks, Capt Denny!

Just got off UA 423 DCA-DEN with Captain Flanagan. Excellent service and flight experience, including personal notes to each FC passenger on the back of Captain Flanagan's business card.

Thumbs up.

I assume this is Wednesday, August 1? The sub 7 hour overnight can't be legal.

Thanks for the catch. Date was correct. Day of week was not. It has been corrected.

Captain Denny was deadheading from Cleveland to Chicago on UA 1085 today to rest up for the four day series of trips beginning tomorrow. Comfortablynumb was also on the flight and met Captain Denny for the first time.

Well, nutz! On 9/15, I'll be departing SFO a couple of hours before he arrives. On 9/21, will be departing ORD just a couple of minutes before he arrives. Guess I'd better keep 9/10 open for dinner near SFO.
