Kinda neat
I can now tell you that Rule 240, under the appropriate boundary conditions, actually does work. So I am here at home now, instead of six to twelve hours from now.
Also, the flight I was on was packed, and as it was filling up, a veteran came down the isle on crutches. He apparently had been injured and disfigured in Iraq. A short while later, a passenger from first class came back and traded seats with him. That indeed was neat.

It's easy to list all the awful behavior you see in the air (like that WSJ article Oro linked to); It was refreshing to see something decent. It reminded me a little of how polite everyone was driving around DC after 9/11, which lasted about a month or two.

Several times over the years, we've seen young people in uniform walking out of a gate at an airport being greeted with a spontaneous outpouring of emotion. Everybody in the terminal standing up and applauding them, grown men with tears streaming down their faces cheering and whistling.
Just thinking about our heroes brings tears to my eyes even now.wrwjbj
