My first intro to a "Chairman"

i had only heard rumors these people existed. but last night at BDL, i was on the bus ... we started pulling away from the pick-up and the radio screamed "STOP! we have a chairman who just called and he's on his way"

so we waited for him ... he boarded.

the radio communicated that he had his white Cadillac STS ready outside the Preferred doors and it was already running and his maps had been printed out and there were two bottles of cold water in the car.

The driver even asked him "do you need anything else?"

I sat there with my jaw wide open.

I mumbled to him ... 'what the heck is a Chairman? i've rented an Avis car for 178 out of 182 straight weeks and i've never even been told Hello!"

he just smiled and said it wasn't him ... it was his company.

Regardless ... WOW! that status level just blew my mind. I've never in my life seen Avis jump through a hoop for anyone. In a matter of minutes, they build a new hoop and coated it with diamonds for this guy.
