I'd be game for this as well

Currently, no. But it may be due to his late arrival that day at 19:57. If you are interested in arranging something, you can contact him directly.

ETA:I mentioned this to him on the phone this morning. He said to send him an email to see what can be worked out.

I have added a wiki to the thread for the retirement flight. If you will be on board, please add your information.

Thanks!

I'm in! I will be arriving into Seattle on 5/30 and would love to be part of a celebration dinner. On 5/31 I am confirmed in the first cabin. Captain Denny is a GREAT guy and I wouldn't miss it for the world. United is very lucky to have him as an ambassador. It's nice to meet someone who really LOVES his job, customers and company. Looking forward to the celebration!

Being SEA-based, I'd be very interested if some type of Do were to occur (and I'll be in town then as well)

Wow, the inventory for that final flight is limited. F/C, Y/B that's about it. Did UA block a whole bunch of seats for the press or something?

EWR-DEN Flight 5/24

While I won't be able to make the retirement flight, I am excited to be on the Newark to Denver flight on the 24th. My upgrade came through this morning, so I am all set. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet him and thank him for his service and listen him fly the plane all the way to DEN on Channel 9.

Capt. Denny has asked his UA PR contact. He hasn't heard back yet.
