an unpopular response
“Flight attendant…brought him napkin to dab his tears…” So the crew was alerted of the situation because he was crying. I don’t blame him in this type of situation. We learned that the airline reacted by delayed his CONNECTING flight.
Does anyone realize that there may have been a passenger on that CONNECTION flight--in the same situation? And now he or she did not get to say goodbye to his/her family member? Look, I am glad to see that there was some compassion out there. But my own air travel has put me in some very stressful and upsetting situations at an airport. That includes flying to see a loved one before they die. I love how they delayed the flight for this guy, but we need to remember that every passenger on every flight has a reason to be flying. Even those who stay composed. We should delay a flight for everyone or no one. Favoring someone because they are crying is not fair. I know this position is unpopular, but I believe it is fair.
