Amongst all the chaos and negativity in the airline industry stands a giant, that giant being Alaska Airlines. I was lucky to be witness to an impromptu salute to Captain Woolston, 1 of 371 heroes to survive the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in 1945, in what became the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. Captain Brad Schumaker and Alaska Airlines took the time to recognize and thank Captain Woolston for his service and the sacrifice he made for our nation. Not only was the recognition given in-front of every passenger on the plane, they provided him with a first class seat. What a class act. As a veteran and citizen of this fine country, I'm in awe of Alaska Airlines and what they did to go beyond and fly higher than all the rest. Bravo Zulu Alaska!
