Incredible
I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

He ejected, survived the crash, and is now safe in Iraq.
This is good news for the 48th Fighter Wing community at RAF Lakenheath—both crew members of the downed F-15E are now safe.
Also, the crew members of the second HH-60W helicopter involved in the rescue operation of the second crew member, which was shot upon by means of MANPADS, are also safe.

🚨 The American people would NEVER know what John Thune and the Senate GOP were trying to pull without X!
Backroom deals, passing weak bills that screw ICE, then sneaking out of town on vacation.
Thank God for X and free speech, allowing us to help hold these people accountable
WATCH: The moment Thune passed the DHS funding bill by unilaterally ending debate without cloture (60 votes).
This is the very thing he REFUSES to do with the SAVE America Act because that would be “nuking the filibuster.”
It’s Republicans that are sabotaging the MAGA agenda.
Rep. Roy: "It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE.
Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job and then leave town? So we're going to stand up and say NO to that. We're going to send back a bill that's responsible to the American people."
🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Mike Lee says it's time for John Thune and Senate Republicans to ABOLISH the Zombie Filibuster once and for all, so strong policies can finally pass with 50+1 votes
"Senate Democrats are BLOCKING the SAVE America Act. We remain CAPTIVE to them at every turn. They put us further in debt and render our government incapable of performing even its most basic functions while jeopardizing our economic security and our national security by heaping on more debt!"
"The zombie filibuster and our addiction to it doesn't work. We've got to end it and it's got to end NOW."
"The status quo isn't working. The zombie filibuster has produced a nearly 40 trillion dollar debt. It has resulted in the Department of Homeland Security being unfunded with 250,000 workers going without paychecks for most of this fiscal year."
He nailed it.
