A pilot is seen reaching out of the cockpit window in the brief video clip shared by the Dallas-based airline to take a phone from a ramp worker.
A video of the Southwest Airlines plane's captain and California airport crew worked together to reunite a passenger with a phone left behind at the gate is going viral on the internet. Social media users are praising the pilot's action of reaching out the window of his aircraft to grab a phone that a passenger had left behind before boarding.
Around the time the flight was set to leave Long Beach Airport, a few ground crew personnel were seen handing the pilot a phone. The plane had finished boarding and was getting ready to take off, according to the airline, when the phone was found at the gate.
The Dallas-based airline posted the video on its Facebook page with a caption that reads, "When our Employees at Long Beach Airport noticed a Customer's phone left behind in a gated area after a flight that was already boarded and pushed back from the gate, they didn't hesitate. They quickly passed the phone to our Ramp Agents, who jumped it up to the Captain to get it back to the Customer."
