Love Ardie good deed people Whaddya know, there are STILL some good people out there. Nice to see something like this once in awhile instead of rape, murder, terrorism, kidnapping, etc.... Returning Soldiers Get First-Class Treatment On Airline POSTED: 10:45 am EDT July 15, 2004 DALLAS -- Eight soldiers flying home from Iraq for two weeks of R & R flew in style instead of coach after first-class passengers offered to swap seats with them. "The soldiers were very, very happy, and the whole aircraft had a different feeling," flight attendant Lorrie Gammon told The Dallas Morning News in Thursday's editions. The June 29 seat-swap on American Airlines Flight 866 from Atlanta to Chicago started before boarding, when a businessman approached one of the soldiers and traded his seat. When the swapping was done, "the other two first-class passengers wanted to give up their seats, too, but they couldn't find any more soldiers," Gammon said. Another flight attendant, Candi Spradlin, said she was impressed with the acts of good will. "If nothing else, those soldiers got a great homecoming," she said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
