If I ever fly again, and Frontier services the destination .. they have my fare.
Smart pilot...
But will they have straps for hanging?
160 people?! That’s a lot of pizza. Haven’t read the story but my guess would be 30 pizzas times at least $10 each. $300+?
Superb PR move by the captain. Frontier will no doubt reimburse him for his efforts, and the passengers will long remember his generosity.
Now that’s my kind of pilot —
Dominos is hardly pizza. It sucks.
The only commercial airline I have ever been on was Frontier. I enjoyed all 4 flights, everyone was very nice!
Did it include gluten-free and vegan pizzas?
CLASSY!!
When I came back from Iraq we stopped in Delaware. The ladies at the USO ordered pizza for us but it didn’t arrive when we had to re-board our flight. They said that if it arrived before we took off they’d bring it out to the place. It arrived and they were good to the word!
Love the USO!
The Frontier Airlines main office should give this pilot and his crew a healthy bonus this year, because he just gave his company hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of great public relations and goodwill.
Then they should seriously consider a policy playing off the pizza delivery slogan: “If you are delayed for (30 minutes? An hour?), the pizza is free!” (Their accountants could figure out the actual time before free pizza is invoked, plus the production and delivery time of the pizza.)
It might cost them a few thousand a year, and earn them millions in customer preferences.
