No one likes a flight delay, but it seems one pilot in America is on a drive to change that. On Monday a United Express flight from Tusla to Houston was delayed for hours on the tarmac and the tension was rising. This is when the pilot, who passengers only know as Matthew, decided to take things into his own hands and ordered hamburgers for every single passenger on board the plane.
“We’re currently 2.5 hours into a delay leaving Tulsa on @united and our Captain, Matthew just ordered every single person on the plane lunch from Fat Guys Burger Bar,” passenger Sam Walker wrote on Twitter. “Good people and customer service do still exist!”
Walker added that everyone on board was well aware that the pilot and cabin crew had no say in the delay, and recognised that Captain Matthew was going above and beyond.
According to FlightAware, the flight did finally make it to its intended destination, albeit four hours and 41 minutes late.
