First Class Gentleman

 

    SkyWest flight attendant Laura Failner witnessed and captured a moment of kindness on her flight home from Washington. As an elderly woman entered the plane looking for he seat it was obvious that her frail 94 year old body struggled with getting around especially in such tight quarters. Additionally she was clearly confused with the row and seating arrangements and her face caught the eye of a first class passenger who flagged Laura down and said, "can you please get her and put her in my seat, and will take hers?!" 

    Failner did as requested to the amazement and gratitude of the confused lady. She was so touched at the gesture she not only hugged her knight in shining armor, she stated, "Never in my 94 years has someone done that for me. thank you young man!" Tears of joy flowed and the thoughtful act of one passenger changed the entire attitude of all on board. 

Giving up what you have for the benefit of others is at the core of a servant's heart. Kudos to this First Class Gentleman for denying himself the luxury of his flight status and comfort of such a designation so that another could benefit from those perks and not have to struggle to the back of the aircraft. This good Samaritan shall remain nameless for now but somehow, we imagine that might be exactly how he wants it.
