[@bananya6020]

@@voigeflightsim7844 some companies fire their old employees since they'll retire soon anyways, and if not they aren't as useful to the company; why not just not pay the extra money and also open up space early for more younger workers (and some countries don't have the best worker protection law)

Luis Santos not just American dream dude, there’s many other airline pilot retirements in the world that end up with the same satisfaction! Stop stereotyping all as American, it’s annoying!

[@Louisfps]

@@daca478 I totally agree with you on that one but in this case the Capitain is American, so that's the American Dream for him, I know what you mean because I'm a 26 year veteran airline Pilot and I'm not American, no one is stereotyping, there are a lot of us, top rated commercial Pilots around the World, from Asia to the E.U, so don't get all bend out of shape, just chill, relax and enjoy life, because life is short.👍👍👍😀😀😀

Congratulations Capt Dave, from one retired guy to another. I spent 38 years running trains, and I tell ya finally sleeping every night is a beautiful thing! Enjoy

[@gerardmoran9560]

Retired Delta guy here. If they hadn't invented planes I would have loved running trains. My vacation trips usually involve flying to the west coast and returning in an Amtrak bedroom. Enjoy your retirement!

[@swede5209]

I know several airline pilots that wanted to try trains. I know a lawyer who became an engineer for 10 years, then went to his practice. He just had to try it. Now it’s so automated they ruined it. It’s too boring to just sit there and keep an eye on it. I had pride in my ride. I started back when trains has cabooses. Give em a smooth ride and they’d by you a beer at the end of the trip😁

[@marydahm6851]

Thank you, sir, for your years of service! From a loyal Delta passenger

[@KandeShack]

Glad you got your retirement before Covid! I watched with tears in my eyes as my Son is a Pilot for Delta based out of SEA. As with many in the industry he could be out of work come October 1. I remember the day he did his interview in ATL...he said “Mom, I may have just done my last interview ever.” Praying he gets to remain in his dream job! Congratulations on your retirement!!👨‍✈️🥳

[@winstonchurchill3597]

Well they have called back all the pilot's and are gonna be hiring soon - so he was probably correct about his last interview comment.

[@KandeShack]

@@winstonchurchill3597 he’s currently on FMLA because they just had a beautiful baby girl. It looks like he’ll be flying either the 737 or the A330 out of SEA. It’s been such a weird and unsettling 7 months since my last comment. As you probably know Delta did not “furlough” any of their employees but pay and flying was reduced. I’m just glad he’s still employed. I flew a couple weeks ago and the airports were crowded...almost felt like “the good old days.”😊✈️😊

Sorry to hear that... the retirement flight was something we’ve been talking about since we were children. That night SLC was too cold for a traditional water cannon salute... 🛬💦🚒 Delta did a nice job with a full escort.

[@ryan-b3076]

I’ve been trying to have some sort of send off for him for a long time. I’ve even sent emails to Delta’s CEO. COVID has really changed things for him since late March. Since he is strictly international he has barley flown and when he has it’s just been a 777 with cargo in the belly to Hong Kong. He wasn’t supposed to retire till September but may have already flown his last flight. It’s just sad that I couldn’t arrange an amazing send off like the one in this video. It’s truly special and I’m so glad this captain was fortunate enough to receive it.

[@tomasalvarez6040]
