My husband told me a nice airport story. One of his flights last week was in the midst of all the airlines canceling flights to get up to date on their inspections. There was a man in military uniform waiting on standby, already late for his brothers wedding. An older lady went up to the counter and wanted to give him her first class seat, and she'd wait on standby. The Delta agent said that was nice, but there were several people ahead of the gentleman and all of those passengers on standby would have to approve (in other words that wasn't going to work). Later Jeff overheard a pilot (waiting as a regular customer) say that the situation was taken care of. They worked it out so the pilot could ride co-pilot and the military man could get on this flight.
