A Southwest airline employee has been called a guardian angel after her ultimate gesture to a sick passenger.
Sarah Rowan, 27, was manning the customer call centre of Southwest's Pittsburgh office when she received a distressed call in the evening from a passenger who had lost their luggage.
Stacy Hurt, 46, had just arrived back home in Pittsburgh from Nashville. However, her luggage. which contained vital medication she needed in it for her chemotherapy, hadn't.
Ms Hurt, who is battling Stage 4 colon cancer, had to change to a direct flight in order to make it home in time for her monthly chemotherapy appointment the next morning, according to ABC News. But her luggage remained on her previously booked connecting flight, which was rerouted back to Nashville due to mechanical issues.
"I sort of panicked," Ms Hurt told ABC News.
