The industry is constantly getting nailed by people who love to complain about it, but so much is missed that is done so well. I'm not sure if you're aware of the story of the jumpseater who was commuting to work for his last trip with Mesa Airlines before starting his career with United. He was killed when the plane crashed outside of Houston. I have speculation on the crash itself, and I think it's pretty clear why nobody is talking about it, but that's not really the point here. Instead the point is how United handled it. They presented his wings with his new hire class in training and last night flew his ashes to his family in Columbia.

Good Morning Everyone,
Last night our Mesa Family was able to pay tribute to Captain Sean Archuleta by sending the ashes to his wife on his last flight from Houston to Colombia. Special thanks to every single member who attended the last flight and United Airlines for making it possible.
Attached you may find pictures of this special tribute. God Bless you all for supporting this noble cause that has gathered our aviation community.
Best Regards,
Yoandy
