When the purser said this morning
That all my passengers changed planes.
I knew for sure when that happens
That the management complains.
Just why my passengers all changed,
I simply didn’t have a clue.
‘Cause I’m always very helpful
And I make sure my crew is too.
Today a blind man came aboard,
The flight delayed, we had a talk.
He said he wished someone would take
His seeing eye dog for a walk.
So I donned my darkened glasses
And I let the guide dog lead.
I was just happy for the chance
To do this blind man a good deed
It seems the passengers who saw
The dog and me get off the plane
Felt hiring the handicapped
Had just become a bit insane!
Pilot Error is a throw back from my year in Vietnam.
Each military member was allowed one rest and recuperation flight, out of the country, at the end of his or her first six months. The crew of the commercial flights that transported these happy troops did everything in their power to make the flights enjoyable.
One of the crews had a captain that would wear dark glasses and carry a red and white cane with one of the stewardesses serving as his guide. They would walk to the plane passing by the line of GIs waiting to board. In my year there, I don’t ever remember of anyone who was willing to forgo his or her R&R trip to avoid flying with a blind pilot.
