Airline Woes
I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the time we
took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on
board was ticked. Unexpectedly,we stopped in Sacramento on the
way. The flight attendant explained that there would be another
45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we
would re-board in 30 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except
one gentleman who was blind. I noticed him as I walked by and
could tell he had flown before because his Seeing Eye dog lay
quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the
entire flight. I could also tell he had flown this very flight
before because the pilot approached him and, calling him by
name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour.
Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
Keith replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to
stretch his legs."
Picture this. All the people in the gate area came to a
completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the
pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! The pilot
was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.
They not only tried to change planes, they also were trying to change airlines!
