Each row got its own pie
Adam Ritchie, a Domino's Pizza manager in Cheyenne, Wyo., said he'd never received a call like the one he got Monday night.
"I need to feed my whole plane," the caller told him.
"Lucky me, I hear 160 people. It ended up being like 38 pizzas," Ritchie said.
A Frontier Airlines flight from Washington to Denver was diverted to Cheyenne because of bad weather. The plane was stuck on the ground for nearly two hours.
The food on board was gone, so the pilot decided to order pizzas for everyone. Each row got its own pie.
"Next thing you know, Domino's Pizza was rolling up to the plane," passenger Logan Torres said. She sent CNN photos of flight attendants passing out boxes.
Frontier Airlines spokeswoman Tyri Squyres said she wasn't surprised at all by what the pilot did.
"This is not unusual for our pilots to go above and beyond to care for our customers," she said. "We have some great pilots who work here."
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.
If he were a Dem, he’d still be whining that the government hadn’t shown up to take care of his passengers.
We have Obama : (
A cheap chianti, in 3oz bottles of course. A component mixture...

It’s good again, you should try it.
” Better “ ? You mean the 49% getting handouts from the gubbermint that YOU and others are paying for ? You mean beimng swarmed with illegal aliens from SA ? Knock out games ? Trayvon ? NSA ? Etc...What DO you mean by BETTER ???
Better, as in kiddie porn is still illegal and no minors are working at Soaplands.
Their flight is delayed. They’re stranded for two hours so the pilot feeds them Domino’s Pizza.
HADN’T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH?!?
lol
When is the last time you tried one?
In the last 3 or so years quality has dramatically improved. I assume it is franchise wide, and not just my local store. I agree that their quality tanked, but Bain as owner seems to have addressed that. Quality here at least is on par with Pizza Hut and better than Jett’s, Donatos, Little Ceasars and the small independents. (Indy)
I was originally supposed to be in Chicago at 9AM. USAir called and said my 7AM flight would be delayed and they wanted to route me through Baltimore. Delays caused me to miss that connection too. Made the United flight as the last standby. With the diversion mentioned above, I ended up reaching O'Hare at roughly 1AM. Just to top things off, the line for cabs at that hour stretched the length of the terminal. Loooong day.
Seems to me that my wife brought home Domino's about a year ago. I think it was better but still far below several of the local small chains.
I won't go to Pizza Hut under any circumstances. They have sunk so low I don't consider their pizza food.
Not the first time I have seen this. I worked as an Airport Operations Officer at a medium size airport in the US. The nearest large airport was Dallas and when Dallas is shut down by thunderstorms many aircraft would divert to my airport filling all gate and ramp spaces. On one such occasion I was driving the parking ramp when I saw a pilot leaning out of his cockpit window calling me over. He pointed to a gate about 500 yards away and asked if I could meet the pizza delivery guy who would shortly show up. I said no problem, drove over to the gate. The delivery guy showed up a few minutes later and I took the 20 or so pizzas back to the aircraft and handed them up thru the crew door. The aircraft was stuck on the ramp a few more hours but at least the passengers were not hungry. That was American Airlines.
what do people who really need to eat do?
i.e. medically, diabetics and so on.
it’s been a long long while since I was involved in anything
like than.
