In the better safe to be sorry world of airplane travel, American Airlines Flight 2354 that was flying from Los Angeles California to Dallas-Fort Worth airport had to take a detour to Wichita Falls Texas due to severe thunderstorms in the Northern Texas region on Thursday evening.
The American Airlines flight had 159 passengers onboard when they received the news from their captain that their destination in the Dallas-Fort Worth area would be delayed until the weather was clear to travel on Friday morning.
American Airlines Captain Jeff Raines knew he had to something to ease the tensions of the passengers who were going to have to stay overnight at the airport.
Captain Raines and her crew made a telephone call to the local Papa John’s Pizza to order 40 pizzas from the store to the Wichita Municipal Airport so he and his crew would be able to feed the passengers who were waiting at the passenger seating area.
The delivery drivers since I am sure that the local Papa John’s Pizza store was going to have at least more than one driver take the 40 pizzas to the airport then handed the pizzas to Captain Raines and his crew so they could personally hand the pizzas to the passengers themselves.
The weather did clear up early Friday morning so that American Airlines Flight 2354 could take the passengers and crew safely to their destination.
I salute Captain Raines and his crew for feeding the hungry passengers at the Wichita Falls Airport to ease their trouble of being delayed due to a thunderstorm in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
I am sure that the local Papa John’s Pizza in Wichita Falls Texas will receive high fives from their customer base now after all of the negative publicity they went through last year with the National Football League player protests of police brutality and mistreatment of minorities that led to some of their pizza sales slumping last year.
Welp! Looks like I’m flying American Airlines next : )
I agree with you since Captain Raines acts like he is one of us instead of acting like he is a prima donna.
I bet this story moved you more than all the others put together
It did since my late dad used to work for the U S Government in the Panama Canal office in the charter flight business.
That’s a lovely story. What a wonderful man he is. =)
I agree with you CoffeeQueen since Captain Raines did what he could to make the passengers feel better during the delay.
He must be in a good mood on this particular day.
I know if I were in Captain Raines shoes, I would be dancing on my way to work.
I do this when still working in my previous companies to my workmates. Actually, we do it at random though.
Being happy doing something you like to do is great.
Indeed. It will make us more productive in life
It’s so nice to find out that there are still some decent people working for the airlines. All I hear are the nightmare stories.
Because the media reports bad news since they have to appease the corporate sponsors and not us the viewer. My late mom told to find work as an independent person.
Is man only a little more advanced animal?
I guess so since some religious book say that man has creative powers like the Almighty has.
I know what you mean since most news stories only focus on the angry passengers having to be stranded at an airport due to bad weather instead of a fast food company feeding the passengers.
OMG!! Unexpected Nice Story 🙂
My pleasure to share a great story of Captain Raines doing his duty to make his passengers feel good.
Yeah, That’s True and Great Article” 😀
There is just too much bad news on the news today, I am doing my best to be the lighthouse in this site.
More unselfish gestures from those unexpected ones. Good story!
That is true since most of the time when passengers are stranded in an airport, all the media does is interview the angry passengers instead of them being given food by a company from the area or inside the airport.
Indeed, you are so right.
Because the media works for the one world government people and they want us to be conditioned to live in fear and bitterness according to the You Tube channel “A Call For An Uprising.”
That is true since pizza or chicken seems to be the meal that passengers that get stranded in airports get as their reward for being patient.
a bad thing of a flight. Good content I like this.
My late dad advised me to “Play it safe” when it came to taking risks while driving an auto. Captain Raines probably remembers many of horror stories where airplanes have had accidents trying to land in airport during thunderstorms which sometimes had grave endings.
