This week’s episode of Red Belly Radio is about two people flying from Chicago to Nashville. They were not traveling together, nor did they know each other. Roy Harris, a Southwest Airlines Customer would meet Rachael Jacobs, a Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant. A typical introduction between two people might go something like “Rachael this is Roy, Roy, this is Rachael.” Well their introduction was anything but typical. 

I don’t want to spoil the ending for you, but Roy had a heart attack and Rachael was at the same gate. Listen to this episode of Red Belly Radio to hear the same story told from two very different perspectives.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rachel on a recent flight from Baltimore to Albuquerque via Chicago. What an incredible person, full of life and radiating positive energy. She and Lynn were working the back of the plane. Despite the fact that our three hour flight ended up taking about 8 hours - we were divereted twice to Amarillo due to a dust and windstorm that made landing in Albuquerque impossible, they made the trip as pleasant an experience as possible. Rachel even let passangers borrow her personal cell phone to call friends and relatives waiting in Albuquerque. She told me how she saved Roy in Chicago so I had to took it up. Incredible person!
