I appreciate all airline pilots who term their passengers as "souls". It shows great respect. ❤

[@JustXavier]

Oh those passengers weren’t calm. They were terrified into silence.

[@bradclooney69]

Not like you can hear people over the insane amount of noise of the jet engines and wind

[@airplaneguy17]

Damn! Alaska has some good pilots!

[@michaelhill6451]

That pilot had better be careful. If he keeps giving out details like that he's liable to get "depressed".

Capitalism's grotesque side... one of many.

You should look into Soviet Union's aviatic accidents.You'll be amazed .

@@valevisa8429- Just because one system has problems and is criticized doesn’t mean the other system is presumed to be excellent. ugh. And of course you didn’t literally say that the comment was claiming that the opposite of capitalism is great, that seems to be the direction it’s kind of headed when reading between the lines.
