Last Chance Airlines!!

[Ted Simmons]

I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the
time we took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and
everybody on board was ticked. Unexpectedly, we stopped
in Sacramento on the way. The flight attendant explained
that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we
wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in 30
minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was
blind. I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he
had flown before because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly
underneath the seats in front of him throughout the
entire flight. I could also tell he had flown this very
flight before because the pilot approached him and,
calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento
for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and
stretch your legs?" Keith replied, "No thanks, but maybe
my dog would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this. All the people in the gate area came to a
completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw
the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog!
The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.
They not only tried to change planes, they also were
trying to change airlines!
