So if you happen to see this, Ms. DuVal: Thank you. And if you work with her, please convey my regards.
Nicely done, DCA writer. Very classy! When I'm flying as a passenger, I ALWAYS treat the flight attendants as I'd want to be treated. And I remember that they're the ones that are busy, not me, so occasionally they don't immediately acknowledge the please, thank you, and eye contact, but at the end of the day, yes they do.
As a pilot for United, I've worked way more weekends, holidays, etc than most, because I don't have kids and my wife works weekends too, so the pilots that want the holidays can get them a little easier.
