Pilot holds flight for man going to see dying grandson http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/TRA...west.pilot.jpg Source: http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/01/14....html?iphonefb Quote:

i dont smoke weed (often) but being high on marijuana has probably never made anyone do something violent. its the alcohol thats to blame. on a side note, of course southwest is going to say it was the right thing to do. once it appears on the news, they have to protect their image and try to win the public. its just like when the chinese apple worker took a picture of his coworker while testing the iphone camera and shipped it without deleting the pic. the factory claimed that they thought it was a 'beautiful mistake' but my guess is that worker actually got fired. anyway, its a nice story i guess. |
+1 for the alcohol... weed just makes you lazy |

+1.. weed makes me sleepy Alcohol has never made me violent, it only exaggerates your normal behaviors because your less inhibited. In my opinion the mother should be charged with man slaughter or criminal negligence for exposing her child to the conditions that allowed the murder to occur. Great to here what the Southwest pilot did though, it's tough to take a stand for what you believe in when you risk your career by doing it, especially in the current economy. |
wtf.. threw a baby across the room... what a dick. Props to the Pilot. |
if you have an important engagement, such as this or a test etc. you would think you would give yourself sufficient time to not be late.. |

Only the douchebag that threw that infant across the room is to blame here. |
2 year old kids are not fragile by any means... This douche bag would of had to thrown the child pretty fucken hard to cause death... I hope he gets what's coming for him. |

To the motherfucker who killed that boy I hope he gets raped daily in jail. |
alcohol makes some ppl violent |
it's very early and i first thought the pilot held the plane to spite the grandfather. after some reading, i'm glad to find out it was the other way around |
They also hold planes for ultra frequent fliers. A friend's co-worker and work team had to fly Toronto-San Fran twice/week for a year, and Air Canada once held the plane 45 minutes for them. |
Awesome pilot! Posted via RS Mobile |
i was under the assumption many airlines will wait for passengers that have already checked in to a certain point..correct me if i'm wrong. |

But to the best of my knowledge, for every minute that a flight is late, it costs the airline a great deal of money Posted via RS Mobile |
southwest is known for this type of stuff and westjet too. They allow their people to make decisions on the spot compared to the legacy carriers with their bibles of policies and procedures. |
