To get ahead, it's often not enough to make good professional choices in your job. It helps to make solid relationship choices, too. So says Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Facebook and co-author, with Wharton professor Adam Grant, of the new book, "Option B." In a wide-ranging interview with Hannah Kuchler of the Financial Times, she makes clear that individual success is often best achieved in a stable context.

Following a series of high-profile dust-ups in recent weeks between passengers and airline employees, comes another onboard skirmish: A California family says they were kicked off a Delta Air Lines flight after they refused to give up a seat they originally bought for their teenage son and wanted to use for their two-year-old son. Brian and Brittany Schear of Huntington Beach were returning from Hawaii on a red-eye flight on April 23 with their two toddlers when the disagreement began. The couple says they originally purchased a seat on the flight for their 18-year-old son Mason, but decided later to fly him back to Los Angeles on an earlier flight so they could use the seat for the younger sibling, Grayson, who would be placed in a car seat.
