Denny told me he's been in talks with them, but nothing had been agreed upon or resolved. He said he didn't want to be in Chicago 5 days a week. So, marketing tag phrases seemed premature.

United advises that there will be a longer version of the video and it should be up on the United Airtime website tomorrow.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is also working on a story that will likely publish this weekend.

If he ever decides on taking some type of marketing venture with UA, I want to somehow try to be part of his liason crew for it, if ever possible.

Was that the fire engine on the right side? We definitely got it on the left side as we were pulling in to the gate. (I have video and photos of it but need to resize them before posting)

Although I did not make the last flight, I was honored to be able to do the final destination check. Yes ladies and gentlemen, that was I, and I have the Seattle agents to thank for allowing me.

Edit:
A little of a side note. I know most of you saw how I was dressed for the non-rev and trying to catch the flight. As glad as I was to give the final send off, if I was hesitant sounding during the announcement, a few things in my head happened. 1) I almost forgot where I was as the speech is usually ingrained as I repeat it over and over, 2) the camera was on me from headquarters which I noticed partway through, and 3) I was starting to get the feelings of regret and sadness that I was not on the flight. I hope it was an enjoyable flight and hope to see some of you around.

I'll be watching for you at DEN on my nearly-monthly trips.

Just as Pat mentioned earlier, the Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote an article on Captain Denny's retirement. Here's a link to the article:
