I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

My dad learned to use WhatsApp status two months ago. Like he posts on his status every single day now like it's his personal broadcast channel. I don't think he fully understands that we can all see it. Last week he posted five times in one day.
Status 1: (photo of his breakfast) Good morning. Eat well today.
Me: (sees it)
Me: (says nothing)
Status 2: (photo of the sky outside his window) God is good. Look at this sky.
Me: (sees it)
Me: (says nothing)
Status 3: (blurry photo of the TV) Good match today. Football is back.
Me: (sees it)
Me: (smiling now)
Status 4: (photo of his dinner) Your mother cooked today. She still has it.
Me: (texts mum) Did you see dad's status?
Mum: Which one? He's been posting since morning.
Me: The one about your cooking.
Mum: (pause)
Mum: He didn't tell me he posted that.
Me: He posted it for everyone.
Mum: (long pause)
Mum: He finished the whole pot.
Status 5: (selfie, slightly too close to the camera, one eye slightly cut off) Good night everyone. Sleep well. Tomorrow is another day. God bless.
Me: (calls dad)
Dad: You saw my status?
Me: All five of them.
Dad: I'm documenting my day.
Me: I can see that.
Dad: Your mother says I post too much.
Me: You posted five times today.
Dad: Five is not too much. Some people post twenty.
Me: Those are teenagers.
Dad: Expression has no age limit.
Me: (pause)
Me: Dad the selfie. You need to hold the phone further away.
Dad: It captures more detail this way.
Me: It captures your pores this way.
Dad: (pause)
Dad: I thought it looked professional.
Me: Further away next time.
Dad: (posts another status while we're on the phone)
Me: Did you just post while I was talking to you.
Dad: The sunset was happening. These things don't wait.
