Worth A Read ...

Probably been on before, but worth a second airing ...

A 50 something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately called the flight attendant.

The seat was next to a black man.

Disgusted, the woman immediately complained to the flight attendant and demanded a new seat.

The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man."

The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat."

After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, I'm sorry, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class."

About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and said "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class.

It is our company policy to not move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a someone to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class."

Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain wouldn't want you to sit next to an such unpleasant person."

Passengers in the seats nearby began to applause while some gave a standing ovation.

It has been on before, but as you say it is worth a second, or even a third airing.

I haven't heard that story. Is it true? I hope so, to the credit of the plane crew and the black guy....

this is a true story over ten years ago on a charter hopefully going to Goa, a little old "sweet lady" alone swigging on a brandy bottle bought in Gatwick duty free telling anyone who would listen she was a nervous passenger, by the time she got on the flight she was abusive "f-ing & blinding at other passengers -still clutching the same bottle- they complained before take off, along comes the steward - madam what is wrong- her reply -true- she said - and you can fu*k off your a nancy boy - gasps form fellow passengers an old fasioned term that had not been heard for yonks and prompty runs to near by toilet with bottle and locks herself in said toilet- pleas from stewardessess and co pilot fall on deaf ears more abuse from the lav, next thing security storms the plane commando style and starts to unscrew the door said little old lady clings to door and is eventually taken off but refuses to identify her overhead luggage so we all have to take our luggage down from overhead wracks and trot down the stairs which had to be put back for de-embark and all identify our hand luggage so they could take remove the woman's hand luggage, total waste of times approx 3 hours.Cheers from passengers at take off. If I had not witnessed I would not have believed this story.

I wonder if the 'lady' would have the same attitude if she were ill and in pain and the only Doctor available was black?
