A few moments later, the flight attendant returned with good news. “Captain, it seems we have two seats together towards the rear of the plane, right by the aisle. They’re available if you’d like to move, ma’am.”
Reluctantly, the entitled mom agreed to take the offered seats. Her son, who seemed relieved to be away from the growing tension, followed her down the aisle. Before they left, Captain Sterling offered a reassuring smile. “Thank you for your understanding, ma’am. We hope you have a pleasant flight.”
As the entitled mom found her new seats, the tension in the cabin dissipated. The passengers settled back into their routines, grateful for the pilot’s intervention.
