空中驚喜 全機乘客為癱瘓女童唱生日快樂歌
據《赫芬頓郵報》5月1日報導，4月初，麥克‧馬爾扎諾（Mike Marzano）一家人從賓夕法尼亞州搭機去佛羅里達州渡假。在飛行過程中，麥克的7歲女兒波克莉（Birkly）告訴航空公司乘務員，這天是她妹妹瑪茲（Mazzy）的4歲生日。
瑪茲患有脊柱裂，從胸部以下肢體癱瘓。馬爾扎諾說：「波克莉總是很關心瑪茲，並希望妹妹在生日時能得到一對翅膀。」

數十名乘客開始為小女孩唱生日歌，並迅速關掉閱讀燈，就像吹熄蠟燭一樣，空服員送上用椒鹽脆餅零食包做成的皇冠，在捲筒衛生紙寫上「生日快樂」字樣，當作蛋糕送給瑪茲。
馬爾扎諾說，起初瑪茲並不知情，直到我們告訴她，這是給你的，她十分開心，露出燦爛的笑容。這名爸爸表示，這件事是「一個美好的回憶，我的家人不會忘記。」瑪茲則認為，這是發生在她生活中最酷的事情。
So I'll start out by telling you that my 4 year old daughter Mazzy has Spina Bifida leaving her paralyzed (very low function) from the chest down. Its not so easy to travel. Today we flew home from a wonderful vacation from Tampa to Pittsburgh and it just so happened to be Mazzys birthday. Her big sis Birkly insisted that I tell the crew so that maybe they would give Mazzy a "wing pin." Well they far exceeded her expectations. We cannot begin to thank you and your crew enough for going above and beyond! All the crew and passengers on our plane sang Happy Birthday to mazzy. They made everyone shut their windows and turn on their overhead lights to pretend they were candles for her to blow out. They made her a cake out of toilet paper and a princess crown out of pretzels!!! The coolest thing ever! Thank you Southwest for giving our special girl such a special day!! I said was that the coolest thing and she said "ever in mine whole life!" #foreverflyingsouthwest
