Outside of this being a good story, I think DAL's TV advertisement hit it out of the park with the tag-line "Never let the rules over rule common sense"......Glad UAL followed that mantra in making this story turn out the way it did.
Bravo.
I think Bob Six actually had a similar quote in one of the company's handbooks back in the 1970s..."Nothing in this manual supersedes common sense." Glad to see this all worked out. In my 8 years of experience with Continental and United Ops, Mr. Six's quote was very often left out.
