Personifies the “friendly skies” concept.
If I ever get on an airplane again, I’ll be sure to choose Frontier Airlines.
I know which way this pilot votes...
Frontier Airlines is my choice of great service...
Unfortunately, TSA had to search the pies.
A slice or two each is all it takes
Now, this is a guy I’d trust at the yoke, right here......get DHS out of the picture and I’d board this dude’s plane any day.
Really good thinking on the part of the pilot for several reasons. Not only is this just good marketing, and will produce good press for the airline, pizza is probably the best possible food for the situation. It’s hot, filling, tastes good, is a crowd favorite. It’s hard to be mad at anyone when you’ve just had a couple of hot slices of pizza after a long, trying day. Even though this was a weather delay, not airline stupidity, this was a good call.
Thirty years ago when Domino’s first hit the streets in my home town it was great tasting pizza. Somewhere over the years they cheapened the pizza to the point that it is just horrible.
What a great guy! Nice choice to feed everyone.
Later he passed out bags and demonstrated the Split S and Immelman maneuver.
I really like Frontier. Late model equipment, on board persona; tv’s, and fair prices.
Question remains: Was the pilot reimbursed? A pilot for India airlines did the same thing ... ordered sandwiches for everyone - said he wasn’t going to fly thirteen hours with no food on board for people.
wait until the TSA hears about it. never happen again. I couldn’t even by a sandwich on the redeye back to philly two weeks ago.
With all the security they make us go through to maintain a "sterile area," they let the Domino delivery guy just roll up to a plane and deliver pizzas?
Two words: weaponized anchovies.

trouble was he wouldn’t then let them use the bathrooms. /s
Americans can’t go 2-3 hours without eating ?
I had a plane ride similar to this in the mid 80s. The plane was forced to land early, due to mechanical difficulties. The airline decided to rent a bus to take us the last leg. The bus was a brand new tourist bus and the airline filled it with free beer and soda. What could have been a very bad experience turned into a 4 hour party. Best plane trip I’ve ever had.
That man is a saint. I have been stuck for hours and all the airline ‘kit’ had was a box of peanuts. I certainly hope Frontier reimburses this pilot.
Their flight is delayed. They’re stranded for two hours so the pilot feeds them Domino’s Pizza.
HADN’T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH?!?
