Here Ye, Here Ye!

I got the extreme pleasure of reviewing and approving Scott Simmons' 5,000th flight report tonight.

With flight DAL1864, departing San Diego runway 27, arriving on Minneapolis runway 30L, Scott joined the Five Millennium Club. He even wrote out 5,000 on the taxiway before he submitted the flight report, which can be found here: http://prntscr.com/qq159m

Scott, you are an amazing asset to Delta Virtual, both as a pilot as well as a staff member. Thanks for your contribution and here's to another 5,000 (if you don't retire before).

Let's all congratulate Scott!

Thanks Adam.
If I could only retire (from r/w job) then I could work harder on the next 5,000!
I'll be 65 in about a month, but don't think I'll be able to hang it up for 4-5 more years.

This is a massive accomplishment! In 18 or so years and over 13,000 members, Scott joins a group of now only 7 pilots who have achieved this many logged flights. This kind of accomplishment shows the time and dedication over years at DVA. We're not about numbers per se but these kinds of numbers show a longstanding commitment to the airline, especially in light of Scott being on staff and volunteering time away from flying for his role.

Congrats Scott and looking forward to the next 5,000!

Outstanding! Though I bet a few of your pax missed their connections after the "5000" taxi-in, I'm sure they'll get over it. Great job!
