It's always nice when an airline employee
goes against the grain and shows a bit of
personality.

Most are your basic good employees, responsive, doing their job. (A few are real
sour-pusses!) On my Air Canada flight from
EWR to YYR (Correct me for Toronto's Pierson)
we had a flight attendant named Robert who
made all of us forget the flight was an hour
late (While waiting he told the gate agent
he wanted to get to Canada before all the Turkey was gone -- it was Thankgiving weekend
there.)

He joked with the passengers he was serving
like me "Sorry it's COke, you look like a Pepsi man." That's true... talked to everyone
even in coach, gave the weather report
"In Toronto it's 15 degrees Canadian, 59
American" and on the delay said " DOn't worry
folks, we'll be in Canada in time for Thanksgiving!"

THe D-C 10 got near the gate but some flyers
got up to which Robert Bellowed "Ladies and
Gentlemen, we are NOT at the the gate yet
so Please sit down... That's as nice as I
can say it."

As we got off he told everyone to eat a lot
Turkey...

It was only an hour flight but one of the best I've had. (The return trip the staff seemed a bit angry... and rightfully so, they
had to work on Thanksgiving.) CATMAN
