Time was running out，and Mark Dickinson wasn't sure whether he'd get to see his dying 2yearold grandson one last time.A long line at Los Angeles International Airport's security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time.
His grandson Caden would be taken off life support in a matter of hours in Denver，Colorado，with or without his grandfather's presence.
“I was kind of panicking(驚慌)because I was running late，and I really thought I wasn't going to make the flight，”Dickinson said.
That's when a pilot from Southwest Airlines stepped up and held the flight at the gate until Dickinson arrived.The pilot was standing by the gate waiting for him when Dickinson arrived in socks，so rushed that he just grabbed his shoes at security and ran through the boarding gate.
“I told him.‘Thank you so much.I can't tell you how much I appreciated that.’And he said，‘No problem.They can't leave without me anyway，’”Dickinson said.
Dickinson's grandson，Caden Rodgers，suffered a head injury in an accident.Dickinson's wife called Southwest and asked them to hold the plane.After the flight，Dickinson said，he wanted to thank the pilot again for his sincere display of sympathy(表示同情)but didn't get the chance.
Most airlines would punish any staff member who holds up a flight.However，a Southwest spokeswoman said the pilot's actions were exemplary.
“You can't hold a plane for every late customer，but I think we would all agree that the pilot absolutely made the right decision，”Southwest spokeswoman Marilee McInnis said.“I don't think you could ask for a better example of great service for our customers.It gives you a sense of pride that our pilot took such an action.”
