Diverted AA Eagle Flight Pilot Buys Passengers Pizza

Eagle pilot does his part

With the trouble we have been having with rain and delayed flights, we had an unusual experience on American Eagle last week.

Just as we were 10 minutes out of D/FW, we were diverted to Waco. With no idea how long the wait would be, our pilot had pizza delivered to the entire plane, which he paid out of his own pocket. He would not accept any cash from any of us, saying it was his party.

One hears of so many nightmare stories about flying lately that I'd like to thank Capt. Mike Smith of American Eagle.

1. Was it good pizza?
I'd have filed a complaint if the crust was soggy!

4. Cool letter
This one's nice, too:


Re: "Treat Scooter like Clinton," by Tim J. Davis, Sunday Letters.

Mr. Davis wants Bill Clinton and Scooter Libby to receive the same prison time for their perjury and obstruction of justice charges and asks how any reasonable person could disagree.

The difference is Mr. Clinton was impeached and later acquitted by the Senate. Mr. Libby was found guilty by a jury.

I think reasonable people see the difference.



:patriot:

glad to know some people still understand service.

he is probably just as nice a guy outside of the cockpit as well.

This story gives me faith in humanity...
