Subject: Man Refuses Seat Beside Woman Reading Bible

 

I like this story! It was an excellent way to handle a problem on an airplane.

 

 

                                    It was a typical airline

 

flight like any other — until one elderly Christian woman

 

was insulted for her faith.

 

 

                                    Now, the flight

 

attendant who stepped in is facing controversy for the way

 

she handled the situation.

 

 

 

Two major airline

 

companies have recently come under fire after the world

 

witnessed their lack of care and blatant abuse of their

 

customers.

 

 

                                    But I must admit, when I

 

read this story I couldn’t help but smile. The young

 

flight attendant in this situation  stands shoulders

 

above the rest and it’s no wonder this Facebook post has

 

been shared over 83,000 times!

 

                                    The altercation

 

reportedly began when a middle-aged man arrived at his seat

 

on a crowded flight, but refused to sit down.

 

                                    His seat was next to an

 

elderly white woman reading her Bible.

 

                                    Disgusted, the Muslim

 

man immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a

 

new seat.”

 

                              The outraged man

 

proceeded to tell the young flight attendant that he refused

 

to sit next to an “infidel.”

 

                                    So the flight attendant

 

did what any good customer service representative would do

 

and explained that she would try to find another seat.

 

                                    After searching for a

 

seat, the flight attendant returned and reportedly stated:

 

                                    “There are no more

 

seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see

 

if there is something in first class.”

 

                                    Almost 10 minutes later,

 

the flight attendant returned and explained that she had

 

found one available seat.

 

                                    According to Jones’

 

story, the flight attendant continued: “It is our company

 

policy to never move a person from economy to first

 

class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to

 

force a person to sit next to an unpleasant person, the

 

captain agreed to make the switch to first class.”

 

                                    Before the outraged man

 

could reply, the attendant gestured to the elderly Christian

 

woman with the Bible and continued: “Madam, if you

 

would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like

 

to move you to the comfort of first class as the

 

captain doesn’t want you to sit next to such an unpleasant

 

person.”

 

                                    It didn’t take long

 

for passengers in the surrounding seats to applaud, while

 

some even gave a standing ovation.

 

                                    I couldn’t agree more

 

with the brave flight attendant’s decision to defend this

 

elderly woman and her faith.

 

This story is a breath of fresh air!
