TRUE STORY
What small steps are taken to achieve freedom for us all. This scene
took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg, South
Africa & London.
A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. 'You obviously do
Not see it then?' she asked. 'You placed me next to a black man.
I did not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group.
Give me an alternative seat.'
'Be calm please,' the hostess replied. 'Almost all the places on this
flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available.'
The hostess went away & then came back a few minutes later... 'Madam,
Just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy
Class.
I spoke to the captain & he informed me that there is also no seat in
Business Class. All the same, we still have one place in First Class.'
Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued. 'It is
not usual for our company to permit someone from Economy Class to sit
in First Class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels
that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so
disgusting.'
She turned to the black guy & said, 'Therefore, Sir if you would like
to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First
Class..'
At that moment, the other passengers, who'd been shocked by what they
had just witnessed, stood up & applauded.
WELL DONE, British Airways
