An all Eagle Flight alum crew on United.

If you were on United Flight 54 from Newark to Paris, France on May 20, 2022, the two pilots up front were Eagle Flight alum! That’s right, the Boeing 767 was lead by Capt. Joe Hayes (EF c/o 99) and First Officer Steven Walters (EF c/o 04). The two have been trying to get on the same trip for some time and were finally able to fly together for the first time.

Capt. Hayes graduated from Science High School in Newark, NJ and FO Walters graduated from Clifford J. Scott High School in East Orange, NJ. The two went on to Daniel Webster College in Nashua, NH where they also flight instructed for some time before moving on to the airlines. They are now at their “Hometown Airline” and couldn’t be happier living the dream.
