Welcome to FT! That's a great first post, what a nice story. ^
Maybe Mr. Carter is a fan of Channel 9, so he chose UA for his flight.

Just a little trivia note, only US Presidents who served before 1997 receive lifelong Secret Service protection.

My mother had a similar experience this summer on an ATL-MAD flight. She was in BE together with the Carter's, their children and grandchildren and several secret service staff.

Great post! The Carters have always been classy people. It's a shame there are more politicians like them. ^
