Every Airlines needs pilots like this

Every airline needs staff like this. I would like to think that my company would think of me as or any of our employees as assets who can make people feel as good as this! The way I see it is you either give it 100% or nothing at all but it is nice to know that there are people in the industry like this.

Don’t United pilots have shares in the company

Most companies offer stock to their employees at a small discount and the airlines are no exception. You might be referring to the ESOP that UA emloyees had in the late 90’s, early ’00s. ESOP = Employee Stock Ownership Program or something like that. By buying enough shares the pilot group got a seat on the Board of Directors. Unfortunately the plan failed miserably after the airline collapse post 9/11 and I believe now the ESOP has been eliminated since.

I flew Jet2 in 2005 and on the way back the captain was really chatty.

He must have spent 20mins in the cruise telling us all about the plane and that we would be flying round a storm. He also then told us he was having problems with the wing 😮 but landed safely anyway 😀

Hmmm… where’s the catch ? 😉

It sounds like he really loves his job and will go out of his way by anymeans to make sure you enjoy HIS flight..

On my last flight with FCA to Mexico the pilot was one of the best for sharing info.. he was always providing info on the route and good view points when overhead,

Totally agree with you Sandy. I have to commend UAL pilots. On my experience with them i’ve had some great flight crew who are a credit to their airline.

Lets see if my opinion will be the same in 3 weeks eh!

I wish I had got that captain on my JFK-LHR UA flight!
