They already forgave him. He did fly United many times recently.

Oh, don't really follow him so much anymore. Got repetitive and don't really appreciate the other writers

I knew what you meant, but I also knew this, hence my comment:

Not quite. He's been on and reviewed United aircraft a few times recently. I think it's the mileage program that he is banned from participating in.

Correct.
He didn't fly United on principle for many years after getting banned from MP.

At about 4:20 the pilot used call sign "Queen of Skies 747" was that appropriate? Would that be appropriate if this wasn't the final celebratory flight?

At 9:30: why do you suppose UA 747 declined Company request to do a go-around?

Probably due to the rain.
Too bad, but got a great approach over Maui, Molokini, and kahoolawe.

I'm curious, what part of flying to Hawaii on the last UA 747 flight ever in business would be not worth it?

It was the last UA 747 flight, not the last 747 flight ever.

I'm curious what DOES make it worth it? I never fly just for the sake of flying.
