McCormick & Schmick's certificates?

But It's A Dry Rain · Dec 15, 08, 11:58 pm

It's mid-December already and I haven't seen one offer of a McCormick & Schmick's gift certificate in four flights since Thanksgiving.
It must be tough times or something.
Has anyone seen one being offered on an Alaska flight during December?
That 20 bucks off a nice dinner got me going to a Seattle McCormick & Schmick's several times during the holidays.
Bah.
Humbug!

No need to worry.
I received this email from an Alaska Airlines customer service representative today!

"I appreciate that you took the time to contact Alaska Airlines with regard to McCormick's and Schmicks gift certificates.

I checked with our Promotions Department and they should be handing them out onboard our flights now ... Enjoy!"

I flew on the 17th and was in the SEA Boardroom that day - NONE! I'm still waiting but won't fly again until 2 Jan. It will be interesting to see if they really do start handing them out.

Make sure to ask. F/A's can be pretty busy doing their routine procedures and can sometimes forget to hand them out.

There weren't any in the Board Room on 12/19, on my outbound LAS flight that day (606) or inbound one on 12/23 (617).

I got two in F on AS 566 Tuesday but that did NOT make up for the four canceled flights and getting called on my phone an hour AFTER I found my primary flight canceled only because as I was running to the gate after the nice MVPG lady told me the plane was on time the monitor said "Canceled." And it only took four hours to drive to PDX in the snow today!

My experience on AS has been the opposite. Sure some are just chatting, but most work hard and are good at what they do. Charles (who I have had before) on my flight yesterday gave great, friendly F service, addressing me as Mr. XXXXXX each time he offered me something. There were some, shall we say, challenging passengers on the flight, but he handled them professionally and courteously. He hardly sat down (even through some rough turbulence when he probably should have).

Scored a $20 cert on QX2083 PDX-RDM tonight. Partially made up for getting kicked back to 10E from 1B on account of weight and balance (22 ticketed on a Q400).
