BA is super. I had an FA offer to take postcards back to London with her from LA so that they would have the appropriate postmark, and she refused to let me pay for postage.

Having said that, I note that several of the first posters here seem quite arrogant and self-satisfied by the fact that they are better people than the dreaded ET passengers. Interesting that the flight crews are polite and the passengers are not. Perhaps some introspection is due.
