Airline Pilot Has Surprise For His Millionth Passenger [Video]
With all of the bad videos that have come out about airlines, here's a good one.
Southwest Airlines pilot Captain John Richie has kept track of how many passengers have flown with him in his 22-year career. Recently, he was about to pilot a flight from Denver to Pittsburgh. He calculated that his one millionth passenger was on that flight.
He announced to the entire plane his history, including retiring from the US Air Force, keeping track of his passengers, and finally that his one millionth passenger was on the plane.
Then he showered the passenger with gifts! He gave the woman a bottle of champagne, an autographed copy of her boarding pass from him, and an envelope with the amount of money she paid for her ticket!
