Great story! Class and empathy are two things that can't be taught----you either have it or you don't. That Captain sounds like a fine human being and I'm sure this wasn't his first time assisting passengers. (Oh, and he probably looked great in the hat as well!!

It think it has everything to do with being a professional. I was raised that it was our job to take care of our passengers the best we can. Many of my fellow pilots say "it's not my job to push a wheelchair" and have berated me for it. I say that if it doesn't take away from my primary job of safety and I can help a customer, I should.

Or are you this one?
Passenger has a meltdown on the airplane. Starts YELLING at the other passengers, the flight attendant, and even the red coat that was summoned to remove her. Said individual was non-revving in uniform two rows behind this occurrence, and when asked if he could be used as a witness to the goings on, replied, no.. I didn't see anything. (Wasn't asked to intervene or help in any way I might add) Stevie Wonder would have seen what happened, and Hellen Keller certainly would have heard it. I'll take door number one any day thank you.
To the CA in the OP.. Thank you for living up to the Delta tradition, and also for being a human being. To the other guy.. nevermind.

I would have to agree with the above, chances are someone at that level isn't on here. I'm a commuting reserve FO, that's why I have the time to post. It's still nice to hear stories like this. I've flown with some really classy guys and gals. I think Delta has a lot of pilots of this caliber. Now that I think of it I've met Alaska, United, US Airways and American pilots I didn't like, but never a Delta or Northwest pilot I didn't like.

Bean, I think you're just getting lucking not running into DL's 5%.
