Honestly? Well-deserved.

Flying a plane looks really, really hard. That may be why so few people want to do it properly these days. After all, given just how much can go wrong on an aircraft (and how poorly-built many modern planes are), it’s understandable why the modern pilot may approach the experience with a bit of trepidation.

In this case, fear was warranted, as one of the engines gave out before the plane could descend. Thankfully, the plane was able to make a landing, which led to the pilot giving himself a little pat on the back over the intercom while the group taxied to their gate.
