This is my last day: Pilot's emotional speech

Ceremonially ending his 32-year-long career with the airlines, he took hold of the announcing mic in the plane and quoted, 

"This is my last day at American Airlines - 11,835 days."

He also acknowledges his family and friends sitting in the cabin, who are way too giddy and excited at their loved one's exceptional career milestone. They couldn't be happier for him. He playfully mocks their excitement on the mic saying,
