The 56-year-old US Navy veteran's husband Dean, also a Southwest pilot, was originally supposed to be the captain on Flight 1380 from New York to Dallas that day. "I traded for the trip with my husband. I'm not trading with him anymore," Shults laughed in an interview with ABC News' "20/20," excerpts of which were released Thursday. "Dean, being the amazing husband he is, said, 'You go to the track meet, I'll switch and take your trip.' And so that's why I was on the trip," she said in the interview, which will air in full on Friday.
