It's good to see some positive news about airlines for a change. Not everyone who flies is an ogre trying to part you with your money and patience. Considering the heightened security surrounding boarding an El Al flight, allowing the girl back on the plane must have been a tremendous undertaking. Well done El Al!

So beautiful story ! Thanks to te pilot, thanks to El AL Israel Airline, thanks to all his staff! She was a little girl ! We have to do the best for children all over the World !
I think that a lot of Airlines pilots are able to have this attitude in such circumstance !

Typical Yahoo reporting. The name of the organization sponsoring the camp is right there in the photo accompanying the story, but they still couldn't spell it right... twice!

It's Chai Lifeline, not Lifetime and not Lifelime.

Kudos to the folks at El Al though, for doing The Right Thing.

If a Pilot did something like this on a Ryanair flight he'd be sacked

"Only a Jewish soul" Paul? Anyone with a little compassion would have done the same, I'm sure.

Good stuff. Got my left eye going. Then, at the time I read it anyways, there was a video of a 5yr old cancer patient in Cleveland, suited up at the tailback position for the Browns. He ran the last practice play of the evening and scored a touchdown in front of 20,000 fans... That one got the other eye leaking.

The pilot returned , but everybody approved and agreed ( ground staff , supervisors, and so on).
Beautiful example of solidarity

Love these stories!!

The pilot did what was right. Everybody loves kids, and anything to help a child should trump any rules that might stand in the way.

Why are we still carting booklets around with rubber stamps in them? Banking long ago moved to a thin plastic card for transactions. Passports should be reduced to an NFC device that could be scanned as passengers entered the jetway.

Because ID microchips are reserved for dogs. Point well taken providing access to private information is restricted on those magic computers...Medical Records privacy already lost by the EMR scam.

The only objection I have is that I cannot give multiple thumbs-up. Thanks, poster.

In reality it probably happens all the time, but doesn't hit the media. You will notice that most of the ATP/Commercial guys and gals on this forum have both feet on the ground and will do the right thing when such situations present. What we don't see here are a lot of bean counters or Third Spacers who would present a much different attitude.

Sometimes you have to bash the bean counters over the head and knock them unconscious long enough to do the right thing. It probably cost several thousand in fuel to return to the gate, but everyone on that plane has a priceless memory and a story to share that will uplift most who hear it.
