Schon klar. Ich sträube mich nur dagegen, daß jede Geschichte im Internet automatisch als wahr klassifiziert wird, nur weil sie gut klingt, plausibel ist, lehrreich ist oder Hoffnung erweckt.
Es ist eine nette lehrreiche Geschichte die aussagt, wie man im Alltag Zivilcourage zeigen kann und wie man handeln sollte, und dafür auch belohnt wird.
Dem kann ich (man) nur beipflichten.

Wahr hin oder her - ich finde die Geschichte gut und sie macht hoffentlich die richtigen Leute nachdenklich.

Heißt immer noch nicht, dass es eine Stewardess nicht doch so machen könnte. Ohne die Geschichte zu kennen. *schulterzuck*

Shared with us by a USAir pilot, this tale sounded too good to be true and is, according to airline officials who describe it as another urban myth. (A West Coast version has it as a United flight.) Seems a USAir employee with the last name of Gay was flying on a company pass. Mr. Gay found a man in his seat and sat elsewhere. Since the plane turned out to be overbooked, a ticket agent approached the man in Mr. Gay's assigned seat and asked "Are you Gay?" When the bewildered man nodded that he was gay, the agent said, "Well, get your things, you'll have to get off.
The real Mr. Gay overheard and quickly interrupted, "I'm Gay." The agent told him he'd have to leave the plane at which another passenger, observing this whole scene, announced defiantly, "I'm gay, too. Heck, you can't throw us all off."

An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
During the final days at Denver's old Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do you have any idea who I am?"
Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 17."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore "Fuck you."
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that too."--------

LOL.
Ich finde die Geschichte deshalb unglaublich, weil Flugzeugpersonal immer und unter allen Umständen - zumindest vordergründig - versucht freundlich zu reagieren.
