Quite right Stephen. Although, as a non doctor, you don't understand just how critical her situation is. Jane used to work at the doctors office, so she knows her medical conditions. Perhaps alternatively Delta, as a responsible airline, could have cancelled the reservations of all the other passengers and rebooked them onto other flights and then flown Jane in an empty jet (after thoroughly cleaning the plane) to her destination.

Afterall, Jane had given them 9 months, 6 months, 1 month and 1 days notice and had informed the parking attendant, the airport authorities, the check-in, air traffic control, the woman in the toilet, the people at the gate, the flight attendants and the President. I cannot understand why the Air Force was not scrambled as a precaution.
