We're not sure if this pilot is student of Dale Carnegie or Zig Ziglar, but he definitely knows how to turn a bad situation into a promotional home run!!!

This is one of the greatest examples of customer service we've ever witnessed. This pilot has definitely won permanent loyalty from a plane load of passengers.

Monday, a Frontier Airlines flight from Washington D.C. to Denver got diverted to Cheyenne, Wyoming because of a storm in Colorado. While the plane waited out the storm, they sat on the tarmac for two-and-a-half hours.

Apparently there wasn't any food on the plane, but the pilot, Gerhard Brandner, realized people were probably hungry, and decided to do something about it.

He got on the P.A. system, and said, "Frontier Airlines is known for being one of the cheapest airlines in the U.S., but your captain is not cheap.  I just ordered pizza for the entire plane." Then everyone on the plane went nuts.

That was around 10:00 p.m. and by 10:30 p.m. delivery guys from a nearby Domino's showed up with 35 pizzas to feed all 160 passengers. It cost several hundred dollars, and Gerhard paid for the whole thing.

This guy gets our vote for "Hero Of the Week."
