United Airlines Capt. Flanagan finds a way!

Well, as you all might know, air travel has changed significantly from what it used to be, to what it is now. People actually used to get dressed up in pretty luxurious clothes just to take a flight. It was considered pretty spectacular for someone to just jump on a plane and go across the country. There were nice big seats,  REAL food, and none of these nonsense fees that we are overburdened with. Flying was a dream too many.

United Captain Denny Flanagan is trying to bring back some of the essence of what was, back to current life. Capt Flanagan is known to be one of the airlines most favorite pilots because of his unique ways to make sure that he can make his passengers experiences the best possible. He is known to keep the passengers entertained with his antics but more with his care and generosity. He loves to play games with his passengers by setting up raffles inflight and seeing if you can win maybe a bottle of wine by trying to figure out certain math equations through the information he gives you. They have to do with the flight that they are on. He is also known to be a very caring person, there have been stories when his flight had been delayed and he bought over 200 hamburgers from Mcdonald's for his passengers as a gesture. He has gotten thousands of compliments and they just keep rolling in. CBS did a whole story on him here. 

Since i have personally met him a few times, i can safely say that CBS basically covers him as a whole. But they still seem to miss how good of a person he is. Some things you cant just capture through a camera but more through your own eyes. 

This is what flying should be all about. Not what we have gotten ourselves into today.
