The Empty Seat
You and your partner are waiting for an overbooked flight. The airline offers enough money to cover a month of rent if one of you travels tomorrow. Your partner wants you both to stay on the flight. You need the money more than they do.
Do you take the offer?
Then ask
- Would it matter if the trip were important only to your partner?
- What if taking the money meant they had to fly alone for the first time?
- Should the person who needs the money get the final say?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
