A Delta Air Lines pilot has
been praised for his one rule for passengers: be respectful.
In a viral video shared to Instagram, a pilot was
seen making an announcement to Delta passengers during a delayed flight to
Atlanta, Georgia. He introduced himself over the loudspeaker as “servant
leader” and “captain of the ship”.
“I’m responsible
for the safety of my ship, my crew, my passengers, my cargo. But, above all,
the rules,” he announced. The pilot instructed passengers to “obey the commands
and instructions of my flight attendants” before offering his final rule.
“Lastly, I ask
that we all be respectful of one another,” he said.
The video was
posted to Instagram by the popular account @aflyguytravels, where it has received
thousands of likes. “Is he going for a flight or to war?” they wrote over the
video, along with the caption: “I wonder if this Delta captain is ex-military?”
The Delta
pilot’s simple etiquette rules have since been praised online by fellow
travellers and flight attendants alike. In the comments, many people wondered
if the pilot had some military background due to his pre-flight guidelines.
Others commended him for encouraging passengers to “be respectful” to each
other, considering the number of wild travel stories that have gone viral in
recent years.
“I wish that the
airline captains did this more often! It IS necessary, especially in this day
and age,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Thank you,
captain! Love it!! I wish more captains would do this!” another person said.
“It shows his care, responsibility and authority!!”
A third said: “I
love this! All pilots should do the same.”
