“I have operated Boeing 747 for 28 years, and this is my last day
as captain, at least for passenger planes. It has been a great pleasure, and I
hope you have a pleasant night.”
Passengers, including myself, applauded spontaneously.
As a Tokyo native, I felt honored that such a seasoned international
travel expert chose my home town as his final destination. I'm sure he should be healed by the world’s highest standard of service and cuisine.
It was a very soft landing. Well done, and thank you!!
