As thousands of flights are canceled amid the U.S. shutdown, one Delta pilot’s touching message — and promise to his daughter — is giving travelers hope.
00:00I know we probably have quite a few nervous fliers today.
00:02It is perfectly understandable.
00:04I want to emphasize this aircraft does not move a single inch unless both my co-captain Michael and myself are absolutely certain it's safe to do so.
00:11Top that off, before I left the house on this trip, my little one has learned the word ice cream,
00:15and she made me make sure I promised her to get her ice cream when I get back home from the trip.
00:19That being said, nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing unsafe, comes in between me and that little girl and her ice cream.
00:25I know you guys probably have some similar plans, maybe not tonight, but probably tomorrow afternoon once we get you up for Raleigh.
00:29Please feel free to join our Wi-Fi and take care of picking out which place you guys are going to get ice cream
00:33or shoot your friends and family texts about what you guys are doing on the flight.
00:37It's going to be short.
00:38It should be a really nice day to go flying.
00:39We'll get you guys up there safely.
00:41Again, thank you so much for your help here in the boarding process.
