I flew as a flight attendant for 47 years. I was hired by Western and retired with Delta. I flew with Captain Milgrom many times , many years ago. I thought he was kind , funny and certainly competent. We had a cracked windscreen in the cockpit and landing was spot on. I can't remember if it was a bird strike during the approach. Captain Milgrom was a very calm man and very nice.
