Flew with a very gracious 777 crew on same date/city pair and enjoyed the ride.
It was the captain's call, and his right. That said...he is retired, and I don't miss him, nor does anyone I've ever given the name.
If you need a ride around Asia on my flights...welcome aboard. Sorry about the ****ter door, but I'll take as a many as want to go along...
