Cool of the Day
A thread for kudos to balance the TOTD thread.
I saw this and wanted to post it somewhere in the hopes this news and others like it inspires other acts of kindness. There can never be enough of them.
Tuncay Eminoglu, well done and take a bow...

Elizabeth "Lizzy" Myers and her family will travel to Rome sometime next spring thanks to Turkish Airlines, whose general manager Tuncay Eminoglu was touched by the little girl's story and her parents' wish that she see many amazing things before a rare genetic condition robs her of her sight.

I'm a crew scheduler for an unnamed airline. Working on my pilot ratings (current PPL) on my days/time off.
So, I've got a few cools of the day to announce.
1. All of the pilots I talk to on a daily basis that A. give me tips on how they built time and B. are willing to help me out when I get qualified to be hired.
2. My dad is ill, and will require a bone marrow transplant. I've had a first officer and an assistant chief pilot offer to fly to my location and get tested to see if they're a match.

This one happened so long ago that everyone involved has retired, but you might enjoy hearing it. A Delta employee had a newborn that needed an operation in California, but the baby was confined to an incubator. Top management ordered two rows of seats removed from a DC-8 and wiring installed to power the incubator for the trip.

So awesome. Thank you for sharing that. Wish we could know who these good people are!
Prayers for your Dad and may God bless him. If you don't find a match please let us know. There are many here who would step forward to try and help. I personally commit to that myself right now, in honor of your sharing the above with us. Thank you!

SayAlt, thank you so very, very much. To have pilots that I've only met in person once or twice offer something for me (after I've junior-manned them =P) is one thing. But to have someone I've never met before in my life offer to help out is AMAZING. Words cannot express how appreciative I or my father are/will be. Thank you again, so very much.
At the risk of identifying myself, the two pilots and I work for an airline who flies exclusively for AA, has a fleet of CRJs, and who pilots think should change their call sign to "Cheese head".
