Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I wanted to thank reporter Jeff Zeleny for relaying United Airlines Capt. David Miller’s speech, as printed in “Friendly skies; Relax, this is your captain speaking” (Perspective, June 16). Sure, a lot of it was common sense (few of us would consider making inappropriate jokes about security on a flight!), but Miller’s mix of humor, understanding and deadly seriousness hit all the right notes.
Sometimes I wonder if I should ever fly again, considering all the fighting in Congress about security, etc., and the airlines making statements that we have too much security.
I fear we will relive Sept. 11. But Miller’s words made me feel that there are intelligent, thoughtful people in the most important place–the cockpit.
