That’s Not Normal

Malcolm was taken aback by the revelation. He had not expected such a background behind Laura’s behavior, but it shed some light on her actions. He couldn’t help but feel a mix of sympathy and concern for her.

However, a question lingered in his mind—why would the airline allow mentally unstable passengers to travel unsupervised?

Have A Safe Flight

Throughout the flight, Malcolm couldn’t help but observe Laura discreetly. She seemed restless, occasionally muttering to herself and exhibiting signs of anxiety.

He wondered how many times she had traveled alone in this state and how the airline could ensure her safety and the comfort of other passengers. Wasn’t there something more the airline could do?

People Have Problems

Malcom kept an eye on Laura as the flight continued. He kept turning back to see what she was doing. She was always mumbling to herself and seemed to be a thousand miles away.

As the plane touched down in Fort Lauderdale, Malcolm decided to address his concerns with the airline. He sought out a representative and expressed his unease about allowing mentally unstable individuals to travel without proper supervision.

Nothing More We Can Do

The representative listened attentively and empathized with Malcolm’s concerns. She explained that the airline had protocols in place to accommodate passengers with mental health challenges.

They offered assistance and support whenever possible, but due to privacy laws, they couldn’t disclose personal information or require constant supervision unless explicitly requested by the passenger or a legal guardian.

The Airplane Business World

Although Malcolm understood the complexities involved, he couldn’t shake off his worries entirely. He hoped that Laura would reach her destination safely and that the airline would continue to review its policies to ensure the well-being of all passengers.

What was initially a horrific experience, brought about a sense of camaraderie for Malcolm. He felt sorry for Laura and thought of his own mother, who lived far away from him.

A Greater Reason

In the days that followed, Malcolm enjoyed his vacation, but his encounter with Laura lingered in his mind. He missed his mother and decided to give her a call.

Malcolm told his mother what happened and asked her to join him on holiday so they could spend quality time together. He booked her a ticket. Malcolm was hopeful to make amends as he waited for his mother to arrive.
