I cant possibly sit next to this unpleasant person. Find me another seat!” “Please calm down, Madam.” the attendant replied. “The flight is very full today, but Ill check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.” The woman gave an unfriendly glance at the angry black man beside her. A few minutes later the attendant returned with the good news, which she gave to the woman, who looked at the people around her with a very pleased and self-satisfied smile, “Madam, we do have one seat in first class.” Before the woman had a chance to answer, the attendant continued, “I had to get special permission from the captain.
