United pilots apparently do windows.
A shocked passenger has shared a video of a pilot repairing a window just before takeoff.
An Instagram story video shared by TMZ shows the staffer in a pilot’s uniform holding a window seal and putting it in place, then calmly making sure everything is secure as passengers look on before their flight from Denver to Dallas.
“They are literally replacing a ‘window’ with all of us just chilling and sitting here waiting to take off?!?!?” the flyer, a self-described toddler expert named Kristin, wrote in her thread of stories Sunday.

The self-described toddler expert had “so many questions.” Instagram / @biglittlefeelings“I have so many questions. Is this our pilot?!? Should a pilot be replacing a f–king window?!?! Is this normal?!” the woman wrote along the video, which shows a man bearing the striped insignia of a pilot working on the window.
She later expressed her relief that the plane made it safely to its destination.
“Window did not fly off the plane. It’s eclipse season y’all. Miracles can happen,” added Kristin, who is seen holding a sleeping child on her lap.
In an email to The Post, a United rep said: “The video shows a ring of plastic called a bezel, which is cosmetic and not required for the safe operation of the aircraft.”
It was unclear what kind of plane was involved, but the unsettling video emerged amid a series of aviation safety incidents that have made headlines, including an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9.

The plane made an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon, with a hole the size of a refrigerator. Miraculously, just one of the 177 passengers was injured.
