One Southwest Airlines flight attendant said her spirits are lifted after having a serious, spontaneous discussion about race and current events with a passenger who later revealed himself to be the CEO of American Airlines. Later during the trip, the flight attendant approached the passenger to ask what he thought of the tome "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism." As the chat drew to a close, she introduced herself – and was surprised to learn that she had been speaking with Doug Parker, CEO of American Airlines. After the flight landed and passengers began to exit, Parker gave Hill a note thanking her for their conversation and the new friends took a photo together. The CEO also shared his email, and asked Hill to say hello to her mom for him.
