RE Airline... I have never seen the program... And, I rarely fly the
cattle carriers as we fly ourselves as much as possible.. A few years ago we were forced to fly out of Detroit - North West - and of course our plane had problems (dumping hydraulic fluid all over the ramp as I watched from my window seat)... So, we were unloaded, run to another gate, got boarded, Sat there for 20 minutes then everyone told to get off as that pilot would go overtime if he flew it.. Sent to another gate, long breathless run to find no airplane there... By this time the crowd attacking the little girl at the counter was chanting for a hanging... People were swearing at her (elegantly dressed lady with more than my net worth in jewelery hanging on her, was cursing like an iron worker)... I got in line to the counter... When I got up there I leaned forward so the others couldn't hear and quietly told her that I had no questions, but she looked like she needed a break... So, I stood there and chatted about her kids, and her husband, the family's dog, etc., for a good five minutes, then went and sat down... When they finally found a crew to fly the stray airplane they had dredged up, the girl at the counter went over to the big guy at the boarding ramp and whispered to him... He came over and boarded us on the plane ahead of everyone and had the stew bring us hot tea and sandwiches at no charge... Those minimum wages workers are victims just as much as the customers are... Denny |
