I’m not required to move! The animal is hers!»
«Then, ma’am, you may stay following the rules,» the flight attendant said, her tone calm but firm. «Or we can remove you.»
At that moment, something completely unexpected happened, after which the woman deeply regretted all her words and insults. 😱😨
The pilot came to our row. He looked stern and spoke sharply:
«Do you really have a dog allergy? Can you provide proof?»
The woman hesitated, then muttered:
«No. I’m not required to sit next to a dog if I don’t want to.»
«In that case,» the pilot said in an icy tone, «I ask you to leave the plane. You are not flying anywhere today. And I will personally ensure that you never fly with our airline again.»
The cabin burst into applause. Someone even shouted, «Bravo!»
The woman started shouting, threatening complaints, accusations, and curses, but no one was listening anymore. She was furious but completely isolated. In the end, she was escorted off the plane.
I stayed in my seat, my hand resting on the warm back of my dog. He was still lying calmly at my feet, as he should be.
