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.
Actually, even Ray Charles could see you were disrespectful towards the soldier.
“I also see it from the stewardesses position as well. People have been known to lose their job doing things like this.”
Then it should be easy to cite an example of a stewardess being fired for behaving nicely.
