I think she was right to refuse. To accept the jacket also would have meant accepting liability for whatever might have happened to the jacket while the airline had it in its possession.

You're really serious aren't you?

My position is not meant to be disrespectful to the soldier in question.

I can understand that he is probably on his way to some function, which is why he was in dress uniform on the plane instead of something more casual or civilian.

I also see it from the stewardesses position as well. People have been known to lose their job doing things like this. How many would have cut the stewardess a cheque, if she had list her job over giving a business class ticket first class privileges?

The only wrong the stewardess did, which is a fair comment imo, was that she didn’t allow a first class passenger to take his jacket for him and hold it until the plane landed.
