Then there’s the story of the pilot who, walking through the cabin during a flight from Karachi to Paris, noticed a blind passenger with his guide-dog.  Being an animal lover, he asked the man if he would like him to take the dog for a little walk along the runway when they landed in Athens.  The offer was gladly accepted.

It was a very hot day, with not a cloud in the sky.  The pilot found the glare too much so he put on his dark glasses and walked a few hundred yards down the runway and then back to the plane with the dog on a lead.

A new batch of passengers was about to board the aircraft.  Seeing the pilot with the guide-dog, they stopped dead in their tracks, dismay on their faces, then turned and went back to the terminal building to ask if they could change their tickets for another airline.
