Reminds me of some of the experiences my dad related to me, as he is a retired airline pilot. When ever he'd get delayed as you did or diverted, he'd call the local pizza delivery place and order pizzas for the entire airplane (~120 people). Paid for the entire shootin' match out of his own pocket. I'm not sure if he ever got reimbursed for his hefty delivery tab, but in his eyes is eased tensions aft of the cockpit door, and saved face for his employer. Something tells me that with layoffs, cut salaries and evaporative pensions, these acts of good will don't happen any more. Your story brings up an interesting idea: Third party "concessions" on airplanes. Great post. -Grant TheCornerOfficeBlog.com What a great story!
