Seat Change on a plane

I am not sure if this story is true, but I thought it was cute anyway.

The story has been told that on a Northwest Airways flight from Atlanta ,
GA. to Detroit ,
a middle-aged, well-to -do southern woman found herself sitting next to a
man wearing a kippa. She called the attendant over to complain about her
seating.

"What seems to be the problem Madam?" asked the attendant.

"You've sat me next to a Jew!! I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting
person. Find me me another seat!"

"Please calm down Madam." the attendant replied. "This flight is very full
today, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go
and check to see if we have any seats available in Club or First Class."

The woman shoots a snooty look at the snubbed Jewish man beside her (not to
mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the
attendant returned. The woman could not help but look at the people around
her with a smug and self satisfied grin.

The flight attendant returns, stands in the isle and then says to the woman,
"Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, Economy is full. I've spoken to the
Cabin Services Director, and I've been told that Club is also full.
However, we do have one seat in First Class."

Before the lady has a chance to respond, the attendant then adds, "It is
most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade under these circumstances,
however, I had to get special permission from the captain. But, given a
resolution to your dilemma, our Captain felt that it was totally outrageous
that someone should be forced to sit next to such a person."

The Flight Attendant then turned to the Jewish man sitting next to the
woman, and said: "So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat
in First Class ready for you!"

At this point, the surrounding passengers stood up and gave a standing
ovation to the Flight Attendant and the male passenger as man walked up to
the front of the plane.

As this is occuring, the lady indignantly says to the Flight Attendant, "I
think that The Captain must have made some kind of terrible mistake here."

To which the attendant quickly replied, " No M'am, Captain Cohen never makes
any mistakes!"
