That man is a saint. I have been stuck for hours and all the airline ‘kit’ had was a box of peanuts. I certainly hope Frontier reimburses this pilot.

If he were a Dem, he’d still be whining that the government hadn’t shown up to take care of his passengers.

i would think with all the explosive gas that 38 dominos pizzas can generate, what does a terrorist really need to carry on a plane to blow it up?

A cheap chianti, in 3oz bottles of course. A component mixture...

Their flight is delayed. They’re stranded for two hours so the pilot feeds them Domino’s Pizza.

HADN’T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH?!?

When is the last time you tried one?

In the last 3 or so years quality has dramatically improved. I assume it is franchise wide, and not just my local store. I agree that their quality tanked, but Bain as owner seems to have addressed that. Quality here at least is on par with Pizza Hut and better than Jett’s, Donatos, Little Ceasars and the small independents. (Indy)

The same thing happened to me on a United flight back around 1992. Flight was from Baltimore to Chicago. Snow and high winds closed O'Hare. We diverted to Rockford, Il. There, a small airport was swamped with flights sharing our fate. The pilot had Pizza Hut deliver to the plane. Much appreciated.

I was originally supposed to be in Chicago at 9AM. USAir called and said my 7AM flight would be delayed and they wanted to route me through Baltimore. Delays caused me to miss that connection too. Made the United flight as the last standby. With the diversion mentioned above, I ended up reaching O'Hare at roughly 1AM. Just to top things off, the line for cabs at that hour stretched the length of the terminal. Loooong day.

Well being on par with Pizza Hut does not impress me.

Seems to me that my wife brought home Domino's about a year ago. I think it was better but still far below several of the local small chains.

I won't go to Pizza Hut under any circumstances. They have sunk so low I don't consider their pizza food.

Not the first time I have seen this. I worked as an Airport Operations Officer at a medium size airport in the US. The nearest large airport was Dallas and when Dallas is shut down by thunderstorms many aircraft would divert to my airport filling all gate and ramp spaces. On one such occasion I was driving the parking ramp when I saw a pilot leaning out of his cockpit window calling me over. He pointed to a gate about 500 yards away and asked if I could meet the pizza delivery guy who would shortly show up. I said no problem, drove over to the gate. The delivery guy showed up a few minutes later and I took the 20 or so pizzas back to the aircraft and handed them up thru the crew door. The aircraft was stuck on the ramp a few more hours but at least the passengers were not hungry. That was American Airlines.
