Channa.

You crack me up. It turns out you and I see eye to eye on all this stuff. One day, I hope our paths cross and we can have a drink and laugh about all this nonsense.

On a more serious note, if I had a dollar for every time I've seen CO personnel make up their own rules on the fly, I would be a millionaire (exaggeration deliberate). I've seen it regarding upgrades, seating, service order, seatbelt enforcement on kids, etc, etc. They seem to be the FAs with the most latitude in the industry. If I fly AA, LH, AF or BA, there seems to be more consistency and discipline. That said, CO has generally very good FAs relative to the other major US airlines.
