Perhaps Smisek could follow him around for a couple of days to see what Goodwill towards United looks like?

I think you're misinterpreting. I see an overnight in LAS on that turn.

Had a very memorable flight with Capt. Denny last summer on ORD-SFO. I knew who he was as soon as I saw him standing by the door, greeting everyone with 767 trading cards and wings. ^


When I awoke from my nap during the flight, his business card was sitting on the armrest, with a handwritten note on the back: "Mr. GoAmtrak, you are a valued customer and your business is greatly appreciated. Please let me know how we can exceed your expectations. Capt. Denny"

He also had the purser distribute "The Age of Flight" to GSes and MMs. Of course he announced Channel 9 and his planned narrative.

Truly a class act from the Friendly Skies era. ^^^

Rats as it looks I just missed you as I arrived at IAD (ex-SFO) at the next gate and where I knew it was Captain Denny's flight, left a bag of Tootsie-Pops for him for his next flight but I couldn't stay as I had a tight conx over in Terminal A

Hey Everyone, Captain Denny says to tell you all hi. I'm in Denver having dinner with him at the Double Tree. We are both out for sim training - but on different schedules.

The raffled T-6 ride is supposed to happen tomorrow morning for PSHuang and Travel&Liesure. Let's hope the weather in St Loius is good for them.

See ya all later.

I'm unable to attend but if anyone is coming from SFO Max's is next door to the Holiday Inn Express San Francisco-Airport South. You no doubt could use their shuttle.

JOY!

By mere coincidence, I will get my 2nd Capt. Denny flight in a few weeks! My first one was just in September, and this will make for quite a treat.
