Was it on an MD-88?

There's a certain CA that is well known for doing that.

Wow. Maybe saying a few things to ease the passengers' nerves, but come on!

Yeah, what a huge tool.

So glad I was in civilian clothes when I was on his flight.

Finished the whole thing up with a remark to all the ladies on board that he'd leave his phone number at the conclusion of the flight but actually, it's easy to remember because it's 1-800-HOT-CAPTAIN.

I wish I was joking.

He can't turn 65 soon enough. I felt like calling DALPA pro-stands from my window seat in the back.

I don't recall that because I got the hell outta that plane in a hurry at the end, but he did say that he was going to do a barrel roll after takeoff in his in-cabin welcome P.A.
