He said:

"My nane is Jeff Fell, I'm the captain of the flight going to Chicago tonight and our flying time up to Chicago is 2 hours and 43 minutes from takeoff to touchdown and the weather during the climb up, cruise and decsending to Chicago. It's a very nice evening tonight. I normally don't stand up in front of everybody. If I get a little emotional, please forgive me for that. I would like to acknowledge a group of very important people to me and they are on board the flight. Most of them are in the back of the airplane and they are the majority of my family. And they have come along with me on my retirement flight. They are on board with me for my retirement flight after 32 years."
