American Airlines passengers thought they were finally on their way to Hawaii when the pilot dropped a curveball – he wasn’t ‘feeling it,’ and refused to fly.
Instead of boos, the clip posted to YouTube by Johnny Jet shows the cabin breaking into applause.

No one wanted to gamble on a mid-ocean emergency, and the passengers’ response said it all.
