LYNDEN, Wash. – A Lynden businessman’s Facebook post is getting international news coverage.
Joel VanderHoek praised WestJet employees for the way they responded to a man passing out on a flight.
“In an Easter week of particularly unpleasant news about airline treatment of customers, I commend you for a culture of kindness and care,” VanderHoek wrote.
A man was forcibly removed from an overbooked United Airlines flight, and Air Canada bumped a 10-year-old boy from an oversold flight last week.
Thousands of people shared and reacted VanderHoek’s post.
Media outlets in Canada and the US, including CTV and the Huffington Post, are covering the story.
