Quick profile in Sunday's Washington Post magazine

The "First Person" story in Sunday's Post mag features IAD-based Nadine DuVal. Money quote:

I’m single, no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995, just because I can. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids.
Also this:

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you take your headphones off, when you look me in the eye, when you say thank you, it’s huge.
So if you happen to see this, Ms. DuVal: Thank you. And if you work with her, please convey my regards.
