"There was about a five second interview. She said, who are you? I said, I'm a pilot. I was trying to be to the point. She said, what do you fly? I said, I'm an Air Force pilot. I flew B-1's. So she said, OK, close the door, have a seat, we're going to Omaha," he recalled.
I fly B1s, NO BIG DEAL

That's awesome. However, if I were ever on a flight and the call for a doctor and then a pilot came over the PA, I would shite my pants.

So it went down like this right?

I remember watching something on how this never happens. Good thing that when it did, it was OK because there was another pilot!

I've got 5 hours in a Beechcraft Bonzanza so I would've politely told that First Officer to get out of the way and watch a man land a plane.

I would think landing a 737 is easier than landing a B-1. I'm guessing the B-1 comes in a little hotter.
And it must have been scary to sit there working radios and shite while a women did all the driving. That's a brave man.

$100 says he never even had to touch any flight controls.

Gongol credited United for giving everyone onboard a hotel for that night, a free airfare
So nice of United to not make the passengers pay for a hotel and subsequent flight to get to where they needed to go.

Holy shite, I know the B1 pilot. He's one of my good friend's brother in law.
