Let the word go forth, airline pilots: Captain Gerhard Brandner has raised the bar.

His Frontier Airlines flight to Denver was diverted because of thunderstorms the other night and as he sat on the ground in Cheyenne, he decided to order some pizza for himself.

He also ordered 49 more pizzas for all his passengers.

"If the need arises you need to take care of your family; you need to take care of your passengers. They are my responsibility the moment they step on the aircraft until they get off the aircraft," Brandner told KUSA TV in Denver.
