A woman filmed a Delta Airlines pilot who decided to 'flirt' with passengers during his announcements.
For many, being a pilot is a dream job. And for this Delta pilot, that’s definitely true, as he couldn’t resist sharing his joy—and flirtations—with passengers.
The video, which has garnered 1.5 million views, was captured by content creator Rachael Fitz (@rachael_fitz_).
It begins with the pilot saying, “But I like you people, so I wanna tell you all the good stuff.”
He then goes on to talk about the bathroom with a window, which he describes as a “loo with a view.” This garners chuckles among passengers.
“Now, if it’s me I’m gonna shut the shade when I go back there ’cause you never know whose flying by,” he quips.
The pilot then goes on to talk about the “state-of-the-art gear turbo fan engines.” He notes they make “funny noises” and that they might sound like a “sick whale” as you take off.
However, he assures passengers that “when we get in the air they purr like a little kitten, quite a treat around here you’re gonna love it.”
What Else Does He Say?
He then goes on to talk about three “fantastic” flight attendants who he describes as being “as good as they come in the industry.”
“If there’s anything I can do for you guys, I’m feeling pretty darn good today; I’ll do anything you want,” he teased.
“There’s not a lot I can do but get you there fast and get you there safe and I plan on doing both of those,” the pilot added. “It’s 3:10 on paper guys, you can hack your clock but guaranteed I do it in 3:08.”
He also says that kids are “absolutely welcome” to come and take a photo at the cockpit at the end of the flight, sharing that he enjoyed the experience when he was a child.
“But I got a pocket full of trading cards with their names written all over them. Rumor has it they’re worth thirteen cents on eBay,” he jokes.
He then thanked the passengers for “being with us.”
“I love my job, and you guys let me do it, so I really appreciate you. Thank you,” he concluded. “I’m gonna give you a good service. Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.”
In response, many passengers clapped for him at the end of his announcement.

People were in love
Commenters were equally tickled by the pilot.
“You definitely know he’s ex-military with the LAV statement,” one wrote. “I’ll fly with him anytime.”
“Did he like win the lottery or something?” a second asked. “I’ve never seen a pilot this excited to fly.”
“It takes balls to flirt with the entire plane,” a third remarked, while a fourth quipped, “Steve-O in an alternate universe.”
A fifth even admitted, “Wait, I kinda am in love with him.”
Flight Attendants Have Fun Too
It isn’t just the pilots who are cracking people up with their announcements. Delta flight attendants are doing it as well.
A viral TikTok posted by user @jerseymikes13 shared footage of the announcement screen on her Delta flight.
Accompanying the TikTok was on-screen text saying, “Kind of flight attendant you get when you’re hungover in the middle seat and forget your earbuds.”
He said, “I have my jacket on now, let’s put it that way, and I feel a lot more locked in. I feel like I should have presented myself this way in the beginning, so, here I am. I’m baring my all, just for you, together in this moment.”
The attendant went on to introduce himself as Guan, adding that his name was “like the island, but spelled extremely different by about 8 or 9 letters. That’s neither here nor there,” he continued. “I feel the need to express it each and every time I introduce myself as it brings me into the moment, a moment such as this, a moment such as this, a moment such as this.”
He then continued by explaining that he was flight leader on the flight along with three of “Atlanta’s finest.”
“Looking forward to taking great care of you, doing your bidding as long as your bidding is good, that is, we’ve got you covered,” he added.
