After flying with him to cross the MM threshold last month, by chance I landed on another Captain Denny flight on Monday night, LAX-IAD. He was great as usual.
I do go out of my way to fly on exclusively PMUA flights whenever possible, but that is just a little weird that of all the captains on UA, I have ended up on a flight with Denny three random times over the last two years.

We had an amazing time. Also met Cpt Dosch who is the President of the Jason Dahl Fund. Cpt Dahl was the UA pilot of flight 93 on 9/11- the aircraft that crashed into PA. They have set up a scholarship fund in Cpt Dahl's memory and honor. The website is: dahlfund.org
Both men are the very best UA has to offer. It was frustrating to hear they tend to run into UA corporate headwinds for their amazing approach to customer service. What a shame.

According to this (which isn't always exactly current, but my favorite that is doesn't use interal fleet codes) 57U is the designation for Over Water (but not ETOPS) equiped/certified aircraft. There are considerably fewer of these birds (and approx half have already been sold/promised to FedEx by the end of the year) which would explain why we haven't seen many of them.

Flew down to IAH with him Jan-20 en route to AMS. Didn't put two and two together until just now as I was semi-distracted at the gate and on a conference call. I did tweet (https://twitter.com/domz_creek/statu...97772074389504) that morning after getting off the call just prior to boarding. It was a great flight, and his address to the gate before boarding was very impressive and reminded me why I don't mind (most of the time) that my employer still uses UA as our preferred carrier.
