A man from the UK decided to step up and fix a major issue at a London airport.
Flights were being delayed and passengers were disgruntled, all because a pilot went missing.
Nothing dramatic about that, he just called in sick at the last minute.
Still, this left EasyJet red-faced because they didn’t have a replacement.
It was at that moment that one of the passengers stepped up.
The man in question is just a family guy who was trying to get to Alicante, Spain with his family.
But as luck would have it, he also happens to be a certified pilot who, by pure coincidence, was actually carrying his license with him.
This is the sort of story that might one day end up in a song that goes platinum.
