Mesa Captain Takes Matters into His Own Hands
A mechanical issued delayed a United Express flight from Tulsa (TUL) to Houston (IAH) on March 11th. When a flight attendant approached Captain Matthew Hoshor stating she was hungry, Hoshor figured that everyone on the flight must be hungry.
So he sprung into action. Hoshor got on the intercom and said, “I’m sorry for the delay, but I think I can make it better. I just have one question: cheese or no cheese?”
The plane erupted into applause.
The hamburgers arrived and FAs delivered them with a choice of beverage.
One passenger asked why Hoshor would do this (out of his own pocket). Hoshor responded:
You’re not just passengers, you’re people.
He later added:
Some people online said I only did this because I felt guilty, but that wasn’t it. I just wanted to do the right thing.
As canned as that response seems, isn’t it refreshing to hear that from a pilot? When Mesa Airlines CEO Jonathan Ornstein heard about the incident, he offered to pay Hoshor back, but Hoshor politely declined. What a class act! Hoshor is also a reservist chaplain in the U.S. Air Force. There, he counsels men and women struggling with battlefield trauma.

Nice. I think the conversation went like this:
Ornstein: Well done! Let me reimburse you.
Hoshor: Thanks, but only if this becomes a policy.
Ornstein: Ehmmm, no.

For those who don't know, Ornstein is one of the true penny pinching, slave driving, piece of garbage airline CEOs out there.

I'm vegetarian, I would have sued the cap'n for discrimination and emotional distress (and possibly more reasons, I will have to consult TeeieVeeie on this).
