Delta Pilot Viral Video: Amid the recent wave of flight delays and chaos across the US, one Delta Airlines pilot is winning hearts online for his calm and caring words to passengers before take-off. A video from inside the plane shows the pilot addressing travellers who were visibly anxious about flying and what he said next has gone viral for all the right reasons.

“I know we probably have quite a few nervous flyers today, and that’s perfectly understandable. This aircraft doesn’t move an inch unless my co-captain Michael and I are absolutely certain it’s safe,” the pilot said, reassuring everyone on board. He then shared a sweet personal moment that instantly made passengers smile. “Before I left the house, my little one had just learned the word ‘ice cream’. She made me promise to get her some when I get home. Nothing, and I mean nothing, unsafe comes between me, that little girl, and her ice cream,” he added.

Before taking off, the pilot also reminded everyone to look forward to their own plans once they land. “I know you guys probably have some similar plans, maybe not tonight, but probably tomorrow afternoon,” he said, adding that they could “use Wi-Fi and take care of picking out which place you guys are going to get ice cream or shoot your friends and family text about what you guy do on the flight.” Encouraging passengers to relax, he said, “Text your families, pick your own ice cream spots, and relax.”

"His communication to the passengers is next level. That’s a true leader right there. There’s a lot of stress when flying these days and this pilot knew exactly what to say to ease the tension. Good for him," wrote a third user. "Wow, that's an ultimate safety assurance. Not years of flight training, not rigorous pre-flight checks, not Boeing or Airbus engineering, but little Emily’s craving for a scoop of vanilla," added another user.
