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.
