Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kāore pea koe e pai ki te hīkoi o te waka rererangi. Engari kua piki ake a Southwest i a rātau kēmu mā te whakatakoto i tētahi pōpō marena mō te tokorua o ngā pāhihi. Ko Andy McIlvaine, 33, e mau ana i te toru pounamu waipiro ki runga i te rererangi mai i Baltimore ki Maine i te Oketopa ki te tono ki tana hoa wahine 30-tau-tawhito a Kelley Mulfinger i tana korerorero ki tetahi roopu kaimahi o SouthWest. I pāngia e tana kōrero, ka hoatu e rātau ki a ia he tīkiti $100 hei koha. He mea whakamiharo: I whakatakotohia e Southwest Airlines he huihuinga marena ohorere mo te tokorua tawhiti i te taunga rererangi o Baltimore Washington International. I whakamanuhiritia a Kelley Mulsinger e tētahi rōpū me ētahi mema o te whānau i tōna taenga mai ki BWI mai i Texas ki te kite i tana kaumeahine. I puta te pātī i te wā i tukuna ai e Andy McIlvaine he reta ki te Tumuaki o Te Hauauru ki te Tonga e whakawhetai ana ki tana kamupene mō tētahi tīkiti $ 100 i a ia e haere ana ki Maine ki te tono wahine ki tana hoa wahine. 'Ko te mea e whai ake nei, kei te kōrero au ki ēnei kaimahi tokorima o Te Hauauru,' i kī a McIlvaine ki te Baltimore Sun. 'I whakaaro ahau e haere ia ki te hoatu ki ahau he tīkiti inu. Ka mea ia, "Kia koa, kia waimarie, ka haere ki te tiki i tō kōtiro. I konei i Te Hauauru, ko te aroha te mea nui". Whai muri i te tuhituhi a McIlvaine ki te Tumuaki o te umanga a Gary Kelly e whakawhetai ana ki te kamupene, ka maka e ratou tetahi atu mahi i mua i te marena: he kaukau marena i te Taunga Rererangi Taiao o Baltimore-Washington. I te rere i roto i te wahine marena hou, tona whaea, me tona tuahine, i kohikohi a Southwest neke atu i te 100 nga kaihihi, nga kaimahi me nga kaimahi mai i etahi atu kamupene rererangi me te 500 nga rohi, champagne me nga tohu i te Wenerei. I a ia e korero ana ki te Ra, ko McIlvaine me Mulfinger, he kaiawhina taakuta i te Whare Wananga o Texas, i Baltimore, i kii ko te roopu he mea tika na te mea he nui te wa i rere ai raua ki te kite i a raua ano. I kī a McIlvaine ki a WBALTV, 'I tino pāngia ahau e te tohu.' Ko te kaupapa pānuitanga hou o te kamupene rererangi he kaupapa marena, me te rererangi whakaheke mo te 'wa marena'. E noho ana a McIlvaine ki Baltimore i te mea ko tana wahine i whakaipoipo ki a ia ko Mulfinger he kaiāwhina tākuta i te Whare Wānanga o Texas.
