VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – You are just supposed to do nice things for people.

That’s a life rule for an Alaska Airlines employee who paid for a local woman to get home after getting the runaround by Delta Airlines.

News1130 first told you about Miriam Thomas, a Vancouver woman, who wanted to publicly thank a lady named Judy for giving her one of her own travel vouchers and also paid out of pocket to get her from Ontario, California to Seattle after Delta Airlines cancelled her return ticket.

Judy Reid says she was just doing what she thought was right.

“You have to help each other. You have to make this a peaceful world. I was raised in a very, very, good, giving, caring family. I’ve always been told to pay it forward. Even if nothing good happens, you’ve done something good.”

Reid says she would do it for anybody. “I just want to do my job at the best of my ability. I don’t even think about it. I just did what I thought anybody would do, I just do that. I like to give and take care of people.

She says the response she’s been getting has been overwhelming.

Alaska Airlines has offered to reimburse Reid, but she has declined.
