  • A pilot who served 32 years at American Airlines has gone viral for his emotional speech as he celebrated his final flight to Chicago.
    Jeff Fell was filmed taking to the plane's PA to round off his last trip, joking that the 'majority of his family' had booked tickets on it.
    However, the real tear-jerker came when Fell thanked his wife, adding: "She has been the solid rock in our foundation in our lives and our marriage."
    "I love you and look forward to the next chapter in our lives. And welcome aboard everybody."

    A stunning performance that is finished from the heart. This takes courage, to say goodbye in this way and at the same time a proof of great love not only for the craft but above all for the family. Respect and greetings.

    :-/ glad he didn't say I'm unfit to fly so this will be my last attempt at being a pilot...
    Joking. This made me cry. That guy seems like a wonderful Kind man. 32 years of being a pilot is amazing.

    It should be 15 years to retire. Airport is very stressful. Hope Airlines starts changing policies.

    Congrats!----32 years! I wonder if he ever disclosed to passengers that Earth is as it's described in the Bible, Book of Enoch, and NASA publication 1207, "Summary", "Introduction", and "Conclusions" sections.

    Excellent heartfelt farewell. As for me - the only one who's gonna know it's my retirement flight is me and that's just me. Always hated being the center of attention - that being said, kudos to the guys that give the retirement speeches - nothing wrong with acknowledging your family and the love of the profession.
    Enjoy your next chapter Captain Jeff Fell!
