A woman boarded the plane and looked for her seat
number. Shuffling her hand luggage along, she found it right away and discovered
that a black man was seated next to her. She would never sit next to him, and
quickly called the stewardess and complained, while demanding a different seat.
‘I can never sit for 7 hours next to him’ she insisted, as the quiet man
listened to everything, as he looked outside the window. The stewardess told
her that the plane was full, but she would try to find a different seat for her. She returned
within 3 minutes and apologized once again for the inconvenience, and proceeded
to say “Madam, we only have one seat in Business Class, and we don’t usually
give an upgrade from the Economy Class travelers, but the pilot said he would
make an exception in this one case.” So the annoyed woman started pushing herself
towards the front of the plane, but the stewardess stopped her in the aisle. Then
she addressed the black man, “Sir, the pilot thought it won’t be fitting and
respectful that this woman would sit next to someone like you. So may I ask you
to pick up your hand-luggage and follow me as I have a Business Class seat for
you.” The woman passenger was flabbergasted at this, and took her humble seat
as the passengers started to applaud the nice gesture of the stewardess and the
pilot. And the quiet man enjoyed a relaxed flight, stretching his legs in an
unexpected Business Class seat.
