Mr. Marcus Hayes, CEO of Hayes Global Holdings. The cabin went silent. Mr. Hayes has requested to address the cabin. Good afternoon. My name is Marcus Hayes.
The man your crew just assaulted and removed from this aircraft is my father, Robert Hayes. Collective gasps rippled through the cabin. Jessica's hand flew to her mouth. Her eyes went wide.
My father is a seventy-two-year-old veteran. He served in Vietnam. He worked for the United States Postal Service for forty years. He's never been arrested, never had a complaint filed against him. He's never missed a bill payment in his life.
