I started to choke up like the captain........you will be missed US airways

[@ChrisZoomER]

The 737 classic series were the best, long live the 737-400 for it’ll be missed🫡

[@stephthestar90]

Very emotional speech :-( I probably would get choked up as well if that was my flight ✈

[@BenjaminGebo]

I've always wondered how I would feel if I was a pilot and this was my flight. I would probably get choked up like the captain :-)

[@CentralTexasRailJetProductions]

Very sad, I remember growing up as a kid and watching these guys overcrowd CLT while at the overlook, and not to mention their 733 counterparts too! This will be a sight I will never forget. May this plane along with the airline be a memory that will carry on with all aviators and pilots for life.

Hey, there's me! (Guy with the camera, glasses, and blue shirt @3:20) Uploading my stuff soon. ;)

[@Dutchbird757]

Nice emotional speech! Both deserve a nice retirement, enjoy!

[@Probowler37]

Farewell to the pilot, as well as the US Airways 737-400. This was the first aircraft I ever flew on when it was USAir. I will miss those birds!

[@karminou]

Wow, the Captain sounded on the verge of crying! So sad...almost like losing a loyal friend! Oh and at the end I was crying also!

[@sebastex2000]

That almost made me cry omg

[@d234baum]

I saw you guys pushing back as our E190 was getting ready to Taxi out of PHL that night!

[@daviedmond4639]

shame these types of pilots are a dying breed ! enjoy your retirement captain! 💖

[@inactivefatimahgianna245]

Great job very emotional ( I love us airways)

[@wafflesandcarolina9344]

Hopefully both this airframe and Captain was the same 737-400 that I flew on from Pittsburgh to Dallas-Ft.Worth in July 1992. Listening to this is very humbling.

[@adamgropper2072]

I hope one day I will bring a brand new Airline and continue the legend of Us.Airways.

[@claudjf1292]

Would it be okay if I took used the thumbnail or take a screenshot from your video, and use it a video I'm making? It won't be monetized because there will be copyrighted music in my video. I'll give you credit.

I am really sad that US Airways is retiring. American is the worst airline in the industry. I hate the fact that they are going to merge. American always cancels flights that are only half full, they are always late, and not to mention rude staff too. I'll probably make Delta and Southwest my top 2 airlines to fly. And it also sucks too on American, when they cancel flights and they book u on another flight, u never get a window seat. They always book you on an aisle or middle seat. On Southwest, you always get a window seat if they rebook you. SWA never cancels flights if they are only half full. RIP US Airways

[@FLLdude]

Really? How can WN guarantee you a window seat when it's first come, first serve boarding?

[@SkyvatorProductions]

If you look at my very first video I uploaded on this account back in January, I was supposed to be flying on that plane next to mine pushing back going to Austin instead of Dallas. They canceled the flight to Austin because it was going onto the Northeast and it was snowing there. So, they canceled the flight from El Paso as a whole. I got re routed to Dallas and I got an amazing window seat.

[@SkyvatorProductions]

Now American Airlines is a different story. On American, it's like, "are there any window seats open?" "No sir, this is a booked flight". I hate when American cancels a half empty flight. I am going on AA in May, and I hope they don't cancel on me because it's half empty.

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

Thankfully though US Airways will still be running it.

[@MattTheGoAnimator]

Julio Romeresto US Airways was the buyer in the merger

[@facingthewind]

Captain sounds like Stephen Hawking
